Yellow

an ode to yellow, the true color of happiness and life

Sunlight piercing through a crack in my window

Wind-blown dandelions swaying on their stems

Guitars playing in the distance

Flames in the chimney, sparkling like gems

Sweet apple-pie aftertaste in my mouth

Up-beat songs playing out loud

Warm sand slipping through my fingers

The sun rising behind a cloud

A camomille mug waiting on my desk

Warm summer days quickly going by

Tangerine balm sitting on my lips

Seagulls soaring high, up up into the sky

Mid-Autumn leaves falling to the ground

Children laughing, and playing all around

Chime bells ringing, spreading sounds of gladness

Images of yellow, nyakundu, the true color of happiness.
