Yellow is going to be the color that saves me

                                          Indigo holds a mystery to the eyes of an African queen

Gold traces her silk dress in patterns abstract and serene

Vermilion holds the brilliance to ecstasy blushing cheeks

Acrylic pottery full of bright turquoise waters dissolve my face

Raspberry n*****s when they touch the first of air

The mint of morning

Sapphire earnings stud her lobe 

She is not a second hard of hearing

Wonder loves me just as much

Chestnut and deep ruby cinnamon 

Vivid slender profile bone white in the fog

She comes closer she brings her vintage roses

A lasting whisper

What she said I won't wish to forget

"See this sun rise?" 

At that moment I said, "Yes."

"This is going to be the color that saves you."

"Yellow"

She lightly chanted

"Yellow"

"Yellow"

"Yellow"

"Yellow"

"Yellow"
