James Marshall Goff Poet Free verse

The Yellow Shine

The Yellow Shine


Bright nevermore
Shines  beyond life-

Endless rows of nowhere
Bring me to yesterday-

Anthems, long dead,
Clip memories, while

Shades of green and yellow
Paralyze what once was free-

I can’t change the purple sundown,
And tears won’t bring salvation-

Still, the sweet smell of savannah summers	
Fragrant my pictures, in locked boxes-

The fragrance still brings yellow sunshine to
My heart-
Closer to the light,
Closer….to the light
