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
