Conversations with Yellow
"You look like sunshine,"
I tell the yellow blooms,
nodding in my garden.
"Do you ever get tired
of being compared to the sun?"
They don't reply,
but in their silence,
there's a kind of understanding.
"You're more than just light,"
I continue,
"you're a promise
that even on the greyest days,
color won't fade away."
They stand, unyielding,
a testament to resilience,
answering questions
I hadn't thought to ask.
