A hint of yellow
Fills the fields
Washing all asunder
It stands to tell
The world of beauty
In voice of muted thunder.
It soothes the parchness
Of my soul
And brings a welcomed smile
Instead of walking
On and past,
I think I’ll stay a while
Softened hues
Go on forever
Casting here and there
Their beauty, although
Earthen-bound,
From soil into the air
This is why
I breathe the air
This is why I feel
To sense the glory
Of the stars
Around and in me, still.
