Yellow

In my darkest and most desperate hour

 I look for a glimpse of yellow

 to brighten my day

Yellow is the supreme light

which can shine through

any darkness.

Yellow is the sun

which illuminates

my dreary days.

Yellow are the stars

that lull me to sleep

each night.

Yellow is the sand

that I bury my toes in,

digging down

as deep as I can.

Soon, I am submerged

in a world of yellow grain-

a world with no nights,

only constant yellow joy.

 As I sink myself

into this new world,

I feel myself escaping

from the chaotic reality

of today.

Chaotic, all except

for what is yellow.

Yellow is the room

I slept in as a child.

Yellow is the paper

on which I write away

my frustrations.

Yellow is all of the

greatest things

about this world,

combined as one entity,

one color,

one eternal light.

And when I make a wish

on a shooting ball

 of yellow,

all that I ask

is for a little more yellow

in this world.
