Colors now shimmer in golden, backlit mist

Flighty trouble has, at last, gone away, riled

Why do I feel so sad,
Even though life isn't bad,
All I want is to feel at peace,

The sky is blue and bright.
The clouds aren't dark or blurry.
Your voice is like a melody.
My absolute favorite remedy.
Your hair, the color of obsidian
Your eyes, the color of soil
Your skin, the color of caramel.
