Sunlight

When the dust has settled: and it’s twilight

When the grass has grown: and the cattle have grazed

When the heart has leapt: has left its place

When you are no more: no more the same

When the day that dawns: shines in your face

When the time of day: is just the time of day

When night falls: and the day doesn’t break

When someone calls: shouts out in empty space

When ‘I’ devours: that comes its way

When darkness grows inside and darkness prevails

When the lights shine: that darkness hates

When flowers bloom: where no one cares

When mountains separate which valleys within

Valleys within: abysmal space

Circles of gloom: in tortuous waves

    ‘When the time of day: is just the time of day’
