Ah, Light

Early in the morning

When the sun's still low

Beyond the ridge

We were drinking coffee

Boiled eggs and toast

When the light came in

There before me

Figures forming

In the distance

In an instant

Ah!

Later in the evening

When the moon's still low

A thousand eyes

Tide was rising

And we looked up

A shooting star

There before me

Space unfolding

In the distance

In an instant

Ah!

And before me

All around me

Endless distance

In an instant

Ah, light!
