SHADES OF YELLOW

By Wendy J. Dunn

Let me count the shades of Yellow:

first, a bright morn

in a golden dell

cowslips’ bells knell

welcoming cockcrow

as fairies dance

their salute to spring

drinking dew

From a sacred chalice.

Betrayal, illness, life giving warmth

Yellow can mean

so many things

But fairies also know

yellow warns of danger

and the need to seek refuge

in their fairy dell

hiding in cowslip blooms

But let me return

to that bright morn

painting the world

with so much joy

How can it not?

For yellow is the optimist

full of hope

full of gold

when all is reborn

with magic

To create

And when you do

close your eyes

and see the fairy dell.
