Gold

Golden is my light now

Not silver

Not white

Of summer afternoons

Essence laden, infused

Heavy lidded, slowing turning

Flecks of golden dust

A yearning

Precious, but to me

Dancing flecks in golden sea

Breathe it, memories

Of what was with all my might.

But gold now is my light.

Silver

This will be my light

Reverse, black, front, silver bright

Soul searching, silvered gaze

Coloured memories bleeding haze

Snap, sharp, cold, clear

Times, swift.

Ends draw near.

White

White, white, white

Mine is the toil of lights

Saturates my core

Drives me to want more

Breathe in

Lift, elated

Inhaled soul

Sink deflated.

Rest no, come repeat

Hunger hunger no replete.

On, on, go, get

White is the light of the time when we met.

About the Creator

Chelouise

Much more than what's on the outside

Mother (human and dog)

Survivor of horrors

Play Station nut

56 August (grateful to be here)

MBA

Looking for the essence of things

and the good in every situation.

Attempting to live my messy life gracefully.
