Metamorphosis

Rainy days, filled with grey tears

Colorless is the world around me

With no happiness to see

I walk through grey puddles 

Waiting for the sun 

 

The sun didn’t come through

I sat waiting

The bus stop empty

My shoes drenched in grey

Hands tucked in my pockets

Seeking warmth

 

My pockets empty

I walk to the coffee shop

The door creaks with age

I sit on the worked chair

Drenching it with grey

 

Footsteps brush my ears

A voice draws my attention

Your hair, golden-brown

The color of the sunset

Rushes over my eyes

 

Your voice warm

I ask for a coffee

You walk leaving behind

A trail of color

I wait

 

Your eyes

Hazel with hints of gold

Every word you speak

The world begins to color in

 

You tell me stories of your life

The coffee shop begins to glow

Brighter than the sun

I take a sip of the coffee

 

I leave the coffee shop

With you as but a memory

But the sky

Glows with a rainbow

 

The world filled with color 

As I begin to walk home

Dreaming of our next encounter
