When you look in the right place, there it will be. (I'm talking about light.) Your eye interprets everything from within. Blue skies, gray skies, all an illusion. The light of your life isn't in a face or a star. When you look in the right place, there it will be. You have thought yourself a moon, reflecting. Rods and cones are the heart's handmaidens. (I'm talking about light.) That person, that sunrise, they are lit because you lit them, just as they lit you, from loneliness, darkness. Your eye interprets everything from within.

Looking For the Light (A cascade poem)
When you look in the right place, there it will be. (I'm talking about light.) Your eye interprets everything from within. Blue skies, gray skies, all an illusion. The light of your life isn't in a face or a star. When you look in the right place, there it will be. You have thought yourself a moon, reflecting. Rods and cones are the heart's handmaidens. (I'm talking about light.) That person, that sunrise, they are lit because you lit them, just as they lit you, from loneliness, darkness. Your eye interprets everything from within.
