Yellow Brick Road

Journey of Becoming Amarilla

Take caution, stay in your lane

The yellow light that falsely reminds you to yield

It leads you to the status quo the authoritative matrix

The yellow brick road, a journey towards a planned outcome

So “Follow the yellow brick road” towards that picturesque beginning and end

You play the game do all that’s right

Yet still you feel lost, empty, stagnant

You yearn for something yet don’t know what that is….

The yellow once bright solar plexus connected to your inner child

Is dimmed your power of transformation feels no more

You toss and turn and stare at the ceiling

The street light causes a dim yellow glow

Through your bedroom window...

You ruminate about past loves, experiences and missed chances

You kick yourself for not being YOU

You the one who use to be a dreamer

You the one who would take a chance

You doze off to sleep and see a yellow orb of light

Your inner child embraces you and states to be more gentle towards yourself

That life is a game and that you should play

Do not get lost down the yellow brick lane

You wake up with ease and feel more light because you are light

Take caution stay in your lane

Impossible because this yellow light being

Has finally found her way.
