the constancy of a blue
Glo-light - the waters of life dripped
Glo-light - the waters of life dripped
in every day with care.

I say I like this. it's lighted
up until morning. Like the moon.

Finally something I can use,
helpful to me - while writing in the dark -
as nothing can be seen exactly as we describe it.
