Yellow
Oh yellow, such a feast for eyes. Fruits of anther bursting forth to catch the gaze Of the striped bee who races to its matching hue.
Oh dripping honey of Apollo’s goldenrod That slices through thickets of cloud, Dripping unto the sprawling meadows we trod.
Wide plains of Sun rays Pour into your iris to illuminate New colours brought forth Colours to coat your line of sight, Yellow to mark your day’s arriv’d, Yellow to bid my dark adieu, Yellow to lead my light to you.
Bruis’d by Blue’s sharp staccato Yellow took us in and Gave us Solace lasting Solar fasting broken, we rise Solar Yellow once again Settles in our souls, Graciously it tends.
Do not sip as if its drip will end But drink until the next tomorrow. Unlike Demeter in Winter’s end, He is plentiful, but Each night hidden And each morning replenish’d.
Drink! Drink in unison and in solitude, Drink in as gold drips. As the bee chases colour, Chase Yellow into pink sunset, Take Yellow found and Paint sunshine into each page written.
Hold buttercup to skin And become Yellow, Whistle golden tones into The ears of every soul you meet. Mix your Yellow with that wretched Blue And plant Green into soil, To sprout and to bloom.
