8 ONLY LIGHT by SUSIE BEATTIE AND DANIEL GOODMAN
In you there is no darkness
In you there is no darkness at all
Only light
Only light, only light, only light, only light
Malayalam improvisation based on this piece.
BRIGHTER THAN THE DARK SKIES
GOODMAN
I can feel the water in the air though it is yet to fall,
the air is not heavy but light with the clarity of vision
that cool air brings before the heavens open,
it reminds me of the storms I used to see and hear thundering around me,
behind and before when I was a child
and rain meant thunder and lightning which opened up the earth
in rivers that lived fast and died young,
the wind would pull the tide high up the beaches and onto the roads
and the palms would raise their leafy arms to God and pray for mercy,
such were the rains that I remembered,
six months of landscape of such a vivid green
that the earth would shine brighter than the dark skies.
