Yellow

Yellow – 4-18-24 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Yellow Yellow prances in parades of giggles, Like the grace of forgiveness in winter’s deep valleys, To build a house made in joyful pirouettes Escaping from its space between orange and green To jig and jive in odes of clarity Sprinkling spring with daffodils and crocus. The language of yellow celebrates in celestial tones, Weaving clear light on barren boughs, Shards of pure energy never rest Reveling in naked ecstasies of delight Sunbeams on the loose refusing to wear a disguise, Transparent gladness of festivity. Yellow heralds the glory of optimistic stars Stretching into cold corners Breathing fireflies into the tombs of musky indigos Tossing petals of sunlight Into rainbow starved air With outbursts of uncontrollable mirth and merriment. Splendor bounding! Radiance released!

a delightfully descriptive poem that beautifully captures your affinity for the color 'yellow.' I especially liked these lines: The language of yellow celebrates in celestial tones, Weaving clear light on barren boughs, Shards of pure energy never rest I often think of the sun when I think of yellow and immediately think of life-giving energy....that's what yellow does for my heart and soul. Have a great evening, Sara
