Poetry

The Yellow Wall

Amidst the yellowed walls, she stands alone,
Her cape, a crown, upon her head doth lie,
A symbol of her strength, her spirit's throne,
As she holds up a flower, a golden sigh.

A black butterfly flutters near her hand,
A mysterious presence, in this vibrant land,
Its wings, a contrast, to the yellow's bright,
Yet, together they create a harmonious sight.

The butterfly's dance, a gentle breeze stirs,
As petals softly fall, like silent tears,
The woman's gaze lost in thought's embrace,
As the flower's beauty, fills the space.
