Chiaroscurro
       (C) 1993 N.Thomas / D.Turner

        Shapes begin to form around
        The structure of a new perspective
        Punctuate the panoramic detail set aside

        But the light is fading fast
        The night, descending like a dream into a sea of memories

        Corners now accent the shape
        As detail comes alive inside
        The perfect patterns permeate
        The caution of design
        Time reveals a greater detail
        Slowly she emerges through
        Chiaroscuro brings to life
        The images of truth

        Awake the light to wake the daughter
        Reason out what strains to rhyme
        The 'quick-to-judge' begin their chanting
        Let the sentence fit the crime
        Saving grace remains the slaughter
        Reputations high and dry
        All that counts is demarcation
        Satisfy the public eye
