Are there not twelve hours of daylight, 1970

Are there not twelve hours of daylight

McCAHON FEB 70 MURIWAI (brushpoint, b.r.)

Are there not
twelve
hours of DAYLIGHT
Anyone can walk in daytime
without stumbling because
he sees the Light of THIS World.
But if he walks after nightfall
he stumbles because the Light fails him.
