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!
