Saying Hello to Yellow

Yellow is such an excitable color,
I wonder why it was not chosen on the dollar?
Go for gold, so we are told, now green means greed (or anthropocentric-ecology).

It gives its gist, its tones surround
awash in amber sunlit streams, a honeyed round.
These bees knees.

Evaporate to dissipate, all yellow with its white,
Ideological color-coded representing light.
Puffy clouds up there dispelling do not care.

A wisp, a wind, invisible in blue,
yellow of miasma, a heavy stench to view.

Blinded by the light, illuminated insight.

Details and dust, minute moments under highlight
backlit aura in glow, a heavenly halo gets bright.

It is the color of embrace, a warm greeted face,
a marvelous matter in Persephone's case...

Flaxen, ashen, wheat grain hair looking for more fun.

The Ylang-ylang used fruitfully in Malay
wouldn't tell or like to smell any other way.

Innocent in assertion, overpowering in desertion.

Wrapping around, at the end of the ray
yellow is what makes a beautiful day

Drafted, swilled, mead drunk filled pores.

The dying man's last words, a fluttering flock, a bird
tweeted the suns secret, in the buzz, it goes unheard.
You will find the secret in your Sol.
There's nothing mellow about yellow.

Faces of happy, or warm air, and for daisies,
slowing down, its pricelessly making maybes.



Composed 3/15/15.

Las Olas para dias...

Way way

South                             West
Perhaps we are un poco loco
As Latin lingo-goes
Spanglish by the seashore
Where-Donde
Las Olas-The Waves
peel like Naranjos
Nobody I know though
peddles oranges under freeways
These days

Here, where El Sol, warms the soul
holding sway
in the Santa Ana way,
winds                                Offshore
salt air beckons to play
Building castles made of sand
stuck on Land
Breaking-Ruptura
frothing white mane in charge
liquid glass breaks at my feet
but See, the Sea, El Mar-La Mer-Las Olas,
-faces holding-                           Up

-Venus and her Sun-
hugging our vast horizon.

And then...

  Change is like that strong smell of cut grass or chopped wood that stops you still. Patterns, a symbol can be an illegible sign,  at first...
