The Conflicted Color Pallet

Welcome Home

You've been gone for forever,
It's felt like a dream.
Your presence was dismissed as if
You'd never even been around;
At least that's how it seemed to be for everyone else.
I don't know how much your mother worried and cried,
But I can bet my tears were full with just as much pain as hers.
I prayed every day that the
Angels were watching over you,
Though I'd never been one to believe such things occurred.
I tried to fill the hole in my chest that you once rested so snuggly in.
Where my love for you was hidden, safe and warm,
Unable to ever be hurt or destroyed.
After you had left, the only constant in my life
Was the disappointment when each attempt never fit quite as nice as you.

But now, you're home!
And my once hot, sticky tears of sadness
Have been replaced by those of joy and relief.
A sea of calming energy has passed over me,
Like a rain shower at noon;
Nourishing all that has needed it and blessing souls with rainbows that make you think,
"You know, maybe this world isn't as horrible as we all made it out to be."
And that's what you are to me.
You are this beacon of light, emitting the purest energy.
You spread a lighthearted vibe that
No man or woman or child could ever be immune too.
You're the lighthouse to ships,
You're the rain to the earth,
You're the rainbow to saddened souls.
You're that thing!
That thing I've been missing all of this time.
And so I say to you,
Welcome home.
