the yellow shawl

it rained while i was sleeping

i slept better - the shadow of rainbow glowing in my heart

wrapped in a yellow shawl, 

i look outside my open window -

the clouds are now sleeping, dreaming

the leaves - greener, dancing in the hint of sunshine

the earth smells of rain

its cold, i hold my shawl tighter

the yellow now closer to my soul

i look within - oh, what a sight

- as the black smiles back at yellow.

i hold my shawl closer, tighter
