Cotton ball clouds linger, frozen within luminous blue
the sun and the moon share the sky and I’m somewhere in between
springtime
the sun is golden as it illuminates every new leaf on the trees
I’m wearing yellow, waiting for my heart to glow like the trees
but I’m not there just yet
I’m waiting for my cheeks to blush just like every new blossom on the tree I pass daily
but I have no one to paint them pink with love
I’m still waiting to smile like the morning birds do at every new dawn
but I’m just not happy enough
though I can say I am not sad
hopeful at best
for it is spring and the sun is warm upon my skin
within its glow I am healing
and maybe, just maybe
summertime
is when my new start will begin
