about

Original poem by Cleveland Wall, music by Luiz Bonfá, performed by Michael Wall.

lyrics

Night

Black is the softest color—
soft like loam, like night.
Black night is the lover who stays
is the forgetting forever
of crazy dappled time.
Black is quiet
as a closed box
where sunlight goes to sleep
after its long journey.
Starlight, even wearier,
wobbles across time
from some far galaxy, is swayed
from its particular path
by massive black.
Black is still
like a deep lake.
What moves beneath its surface
moves silently.
Color I see before dreaming.
