Twilight

There's a beauty in the twilight
that often goes unseen
we're taught its all black and white
but there's a rainbow in between

in fact when you look at it
the light and dark that claims is all
really is so very thin
its almost nothing at all

the same is true of time
you see present is all there is
past, and future
imaginations is

have you ever seen the sun
skim across the sky
ever in a twilight
and every colour bright

my world is a rainbow
its rarely black and white
and if you look real close
rainbow in black and white

just look at all the diversity
of this wonderful life
only just two principles?
surely thats not right

trees of every colour
flowers much the same
delicate little insects
far too much to name

butterflies of every colour
and moths of shimmery night
bees and wasps and flying things
lets not forget the beetely things

birds of more variety
than one can surely know
theres even living things
in lava and in snow

lets not forget the animals
true wonders all in all
just look at oddly platipuss
all creatures great and small

so dont you try and tell
that its all black and white
dont you try to tell me
of your own wrong and right

for i have my own mind
and conscience right to bare
a will thats free and eyes that see
and loving heart to share.
