Yellow

By Mel Waldman

Yellow

Points to

Moving, running, galloping

Visions of the universe

Contracting, dying, singing,

Crying within,

And

Galaxies

Far away,

Yesterday, far away,

Tomorrow, feel the sorrow,

The sin, far

Within the

Ineffable

World

Of unknowable

Me, of invisible

Thee, of incomprehensible we,

Of humanity, covered,

Snowbound within,

Deep

Snow,

The sin

Of the Darkness

I could not bless

Nor embrace, blind

To its

Terrifying

Face

Until Yellow

Soothed me, shielded

Me, from intolerable pain,

The image of

An old

Man

With

A cane,

Slithering in the

Rain, covered in black,

With a penetrating

Aura, ancient

Warrior,

With

Eerie eyes

That paralyzed, soulless

Holes looking back into

Nowhere, out there,

Here, where

You

Gaze

Into the

Shadow, and know

That Terror is the

Beginning and core,

Of awareness,

Salvation,

For

Me, thee,

We, Humanity, G-d

Bless, all who are

Buried in the

Deep snow,

Buried,

Yellow

Will find

The way, I

Know, will find you,

Yellow will find

You, Yellow,

Today!
