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
