Light shining down- yellow
I stood there.
Opening my eyes
awakening from a dream...
I stayed here,
but I still remember.

At first- I remember,
it was a new world, yellow
sand shining like gold here
I won’t go back there
where people get lost in a dream
fog clouding their eyes.

Seasons drift across those eyes
only changes in color they remember
everyday is a reoccurring dream.
White.  Green.  And yellow
flickered with red and brown there,
but now I’m here.

I awoke here,
every face has unseen eyes.
Everyone knows everyone there,
now everyone is hard to remember.
replaced with yellow,
I let go of their dream.

The river filled with that dream
doesn’t flow here.
Never diverging it’s course, while yellow
leaves drift on, like eyes,
on the river’s spine- they remember,
where they’ve fallen from- there.

And nothing will ever change there-
where the nightmare’s a dream,
now nightmares are hard to remember
because now I’m here.
Sleep wiped from my eyes.
The sun’s out, and it’s yellow.

I try to picture a yellow day there
I close my eyes and think of when life was just a dream,
but now I’m here, and I can’t remember.
