I like the color of my coffee
In the morning
Freshly brewed with a splash of cream

It’s a color I feel warm under my skin
It feels like home
For here or to go

It’s the color of everything
That makes life possible
An impersonation of our simplest pleasures
Cozied in our favorite mug

I find it new every day
Can you feel it toast your soul
Balance your whims on delicate notes
Of toffee and hazelnuts
That see you, feel you, know you
Let you go and beckon you home
Home, in your palms
Wafting through your senses
Silk through your soul

Sunlight glimmers through the glass
Stained windows
A starburst of questions to be asked

Ephemeral bliss that sets with the sun
Every night but
I know it’ll return

It’s the color of everything
That makes life beautiful
An expression of all there is yet to learn and to love and to adore

I find it changes every day
Do you feel it filling your heart
The playful hide and seek and show and tell
Behind the clouds or shining boldly
It sees you, feels you, knows you
Leads you to the world and takes you home
A certainty in a fleeting life
A light you always know
