For all of its children
Mark cloutier 1972 (Kaneohe)
It washes it all away
In the light of day
To then to be hung out
To dry by the heat
Of the light it incites
It is an emotion that lures
Its creatures to peaceful features
Like that of a smile of a child
And the mind of a God
Who comes down from above
Who descends from a heaven
Above this world
Of a region unknown
Which all its seasons are one
It is light that causes
Rainbow children
Yellow for yellow, blue for blue
Nothing separates us
From this light
But we rest in the divide of the night
As its name is the same
For all of its children
