Photosynthesis
By Carmen H Gray
Light energy
Reaches us from a far away star
Transforming into a chemical reaction
Red and blue light invisible
To our limited sight
All that is left to witness
Is the verdant green leaf
Unfurled before us
Light energy
Reaches inside us
Colors are an illusion, really
Within white light
We paint the world in our minds
Some of us limited in our sight
Some of us letting light energy
Change us
All that is left to witness
Is the verdant green life
Unfurled before us
