Light

4.00x10-7m to
               7.00x10-7

Waves in an ocean
     washing up on our shores

A spectrum of flickering
                  colour
                       and transparency

   we swim in the tide
              seeing
                   and not seeing
            the ocean we are lost in

Waves pass by
                absorbed
                          or reflected
    bringing colour to
                          our minds eye

It gives
      and takes from us
                     life
                        and  yet...

Light
         brings us
                     so much more
                                  than
                                       what we need
                         to survive.
