a sea of yellow
taking me all the way home
to the yellow sea





Fallen petals of the Goldenrain tree, native to China.  Yellow was the royal color—it meant Power, Prosperity, Hope. Emperors wore yellow robes and traveled in yellow carriages during the Ming and Qing dynasties. Yellow is associated with the earth element and is considered a stabilizing energy that balances Yin-Yang. Decorating your kitchen in yellow is considered to bring good fortune. And in China, there is the Yellow River and the Yellow Sea.
