Dark Landscape on a Cloudy Night
	Lyric and Music by Keith Good
	

Dark landscape on a cloudy night
in a gilded frame displayed to see
shades of a farm, perhaps, cross hatched
violets and ebonies.
Up near the corner obscured and blurred
sits suggestions of a light, a moon
a sun, at first just one, then many
to battle through the night.

Each ray of light explodes out tiny revolution
Quanta expose what lay below your visual pollution

The moon cast beams, it seems, 
to part the clouds who guard the scene,
returning hues of a place disused as 
photons flood waking dream.
the crops are dead farmhouse aflame 
all red decaying pestilience
where went the golds, the green the lovers
to see this old farm prospering?

And Blink its gone, the night re-dawns, 
light all drawn from eyes agleam
painter painter if you please why this
deceit in violets and ebonies
Why hide this farm, what harm may come
from light's knowledge and inquiries?
Your veil returns but the question burns:
What do you hide from me?
