As children we'd pretend we'd captured light
and held it as a funny thing to dance
or tole some darkness from the sky at night
and with the sunlight we could make it prance.
we'd imagine we held a bright blue sky
with a bit of white cloud off to one side
and with sunlight and darkness it would fly
whenever, wherever, we would decide.
As adults we pretend we capture light
that for a moment illumines a thought/
As if we could grasp ephemeral sight
or as if revelation could be caught
what we make are toys that we hope just might
remind other folks of darkness and light
