Violet is the hunter's light, The last light of the dying day, The last light Down by the evening waterhole Where prey and predators gather. We are tuned to optimum Precisely for this light. Optimized for survival. Animals from the grasslands of Africa, We see the dying light of day Almost to blackness. Evolved to survive to nightfall. |
