yellow

you are the light that comes through

a window that I never even knew existed

until now.

 

a strange and new type of yellow

that makes me forget grey

and warms every freckle.

 

I never knew that I needed the light

from the window that I never knew existed

until now.

 

a fresh new frame of living

that makes me forget hurt

and holds my hand as I walk forward.

 

I need to try and protect the light

from the window that I never knew existed

until I can embody it.

 

a different way of understanding

that I never knew I craved

until now.

 

you are the yellow sunshine that comes

from the window that I never knew existed

and now I am warmed

and now I am in motion

and now I am free.
