Golden Brown

My dreams are filled with hues of earth tones

Brown masks mysterious secrets,

Dark to cover the pain of ignorance,

Opaque to cover to want of another.

Shimmers of luminous gold peak through

T'is the sun’s kisses,

Ultimate love in heated warmth

Showing compassion with silent understanding

I feel the nutrient earth,

Allowing life to foster and thrive,

The maze of mahogany bark,

A sheltered canopy above

Offering a crutch to lean on when feeling weak

This exquisite world is within you

I can see it through window pane

Despite how foggy the glass is

That world is still there

Waiting to be explored
