Brightness in Gloom

Across the kitchen, a door painted bright,

a splash of yellow shatters my gray,

like sunflowers shouting at clouds of despair,

that gray rainy day fades just like the fray.

I’m drawn to its glow, a beacon so bold,

a warmth that spills in, wrapping me tight,

reminding my heart there’s joy to behold,

even in shadows, there’s always a light.
