Pure

By: Yesenia Ramirez

In a sea of people 

there is a single glimmering aura

that amuses me

The purest soul I’ve ever seen

that shines brighter than any other

Even their footsteps leave a trail of glitter

Without them knowing,

Completely unaware of the world around them

The world that is filled with shades of noir

I use to see the world in shades of noir

because that’s all I focused on

And the more I just focused on the noir of the world 

It slowly turned to be the abyss of the world for me

One day the pure soul walked through the abyss 

There was no evidence of the abyss on their clothing

But what I realized,

a trail of colors was left

The soul was erasing the abyss from my world 

without them knowing it

They made my world brighter ever since that day 

I felt as if my eyes were opened

If it wasn’t for them I honestly don’t know where I’d be

I’d probably be still in the abyss 

Probably still seeing the world in noir

Instead of seeing the beautiful colors of the world

This pure soul introduced a new world to my color-blind eyes

They gave me shades of colors that I’ve never seen before

Even when I used to see color

I’ve never seen the shades that I see now

Every day the soul walks in peace 

still clearing what is left of my abyss

I don’t know if I’ll ever get to thank that pure soul 

for all they have done
