Light

When light hits my eyes
What do I see?
An amalgamation of atoms
Each individual connected to another
All vibrating within 
The empty space that
Makes up the universe.
Water is clear
Because it's vibrations
Are independent of the light
But I'm not clear
And neither are you
Because we are made up of
White red olive brown
Skin
Coloured by the sun
And blue blood
That turns red
When it sees the light
Of pink muscles and sinews
And powder white
Calcium bones
Which all vibrate
In a way that absorbs the light
Trapping it 
Within the empty spaces
And never letting go
