Sometimes one frets the unseen sun
or celebrates the floral hues
in silhouette or different seen
with sun behind and bright between
full light on face and colours glow
in sun embrace their glory show.
There is to life this side and that
the mountain peak, the plain most flat,
the height of glory, dance and song,
despair, distress, when all goes wrong.
From where I am that side or here
both sides remain though one not clear.
I need believe when darkness falls
that lights are there beyond it all
though colours dulled might seem but yet
the radiant hues in silhouette
will turn around when sun’s changed place
in orbit sky reveals the grace
of shadowed nature, things dark seemed
full glory there as one might dream
I quest the lights through shadows now
I know beyond the dark, somehow
will burst the dazzle I will see
the way thing are and meant to be
through chasm, abyss, night descend
New light is there at tunnel end.
