In "Ode to Enchanted Light," by Chilean poet Pablo Neruda, light is described as something dropping from the sky. The word choice by the poet is quite interesting, since the speaker first speaks of dropping but then, immediately afterward, compares light to white sand that is drifting. There is something heavy and light at the same time in this description. The verb "drop" describes a more abrupt action, while "drift" conveys a softer sensation. As a matter of fact, the poem revolves around duality - good and bad, for instance - as well as change.
