Yellow
Sara De Santiago 1996 (San Jose)
Yellow
the sliver of light that shines through the peak of the curtains
Softly caressing the frame of my face
illuminating all that falls under this blanket of warmth
Bless the Sun for gazing upon this little corner of the world.
My little corner, in my little world
Another day has come & past
My oh my how time goes so fast
Rattling of sounds playing against my ear
in my head, circling round and round
far and near
interrupting the fond thoughts of you my dear
Another day has come
The silence fills these four walls full of sorrow
Satin curtains waltz with the gentle breeze promising tomorrow
The movement now a focal point for the gaze to rest upon
Each second creating a minute & each minute an hour
An Hour
Hours
Hours my subconscious lay dormant
How long have I been laying here?
Stretching my hands across the spread
opposite of me an empty spot in the bed
Laying in the center will I still feel lonely?
Neglect the grief that lie inside me
Don't ponder on it so much
Close your eyes
smell the flowers you once touched
Remember Yellow
Bright & Encompassing
Warm
Translucent
Full
For you fill my heart with joy
Your hand in mine
An interlocking of Serenity
To think it impossible for one to be touching the sun
To give life to something that had no inclination of it being dead
For you are in all that surrounds me
Particles of sand touching the soles of my feet
Sounds of leaves rustling in my ear
Wide open blue sk(eyes)
the air in my breath for my lungs to inhale
Oh how I miss the summer
When did the night fall?
How the winters last so long in darkness
A sigh escapes my lips
"Oh how I miss the summer"
For being with you
Touching the sun was an action no longer thought to be impossible
