Analysis of Speak light

Mark cloutier 1972 (Kaneohe)



Speak light
Let it be heard
Throughout the night
Let the sun fall
And the stars rise
As the moon covers us
As we sleep in the day
And bathe ourselves
With the stars
As we awake by the moon
And go out in the darkness
As lights in the skyline
Filling the streets
With light spoken
As the night subsides
Within their minds
And we return in light
And then rest in the day
As the moon is removed
And the stars fall
And the sun appears
In the night
And we awake to an eternal day
As we rise then again
