My Yellow

(Color definitely more specific than the wavelength of light that one perceives through the eye. Color is perceived through all the senses. It is possible to feel a color, to smell a color, even without sight. Here is my description of yellow as if it were to a blind person. It took me five minutes, but it was helpful to me to free associate what I thought Yellow was to me and create something artistic out of it. It'll probably be different in a week or so... experience is subjective, right?)

My Yellow

Warm, bright, smooth, sweet,
Have you ever held the sun in your lungs?

The soft blanket of warmth tickling

your eyelashes as it calls for the earth

Grow! Grow! All the grass is reaching 

up to the sky

for yellow!

The thrill of laughter from the neighbor's yard

A lick of dew

A splash of dandelion against your cheek
An explosion of wonder---

shaking--

pulsating--

The smell of running

for the very first time

Awe--

Joy--

Excitement--

Have you ever known pure bliss in the dead of night?

Dancing to the beat

the beat 

of your own heart?

Yellow! Yellow! The whole world

is reaching to the sky

for yellow!

My yellow.
