soft touch on my shoulder,
what I also see on sunlit trees —
pale golden yellow,
warm and sweet and gentle
Upward, to my right,
pearly opalescence,
tones of mauve and powder blue,
pure love, unflinching truth
Beneath me,
silver-dusted midnight blue
opening before my feet,
lit from some unseen source,
star path to infinity
These colors let me know you’re here,
waiting, with a patient smile
till I finish this bout of crying,
ready to comfort me when I look up.
