Has anyone seen the sun lately...?

Hello. I'm Nico. I live on a very small island. It's a wonderful place and the natives are all friendly. Yet, I've had a terrible time adjusting to my limitations here. I thought perhaps if I took the time to post bits and pieces of the life I find here, that I might help uncover the child in you out there. And together we might find some insights that are just too beautiful to be hidden.
Here's a "snapshot" from my first winter here:
Orange Praise
Orange was the color of the day
Orange and grey
You wouldn't have praise
If you never felt shame
But now it's like seeing the sun
For the very first time
Like coming home
To stay
I saw a flash of warm light
Through the rain and storm
It came from the window in your door
Just the light from your eyes
And the warmth of your smile
It means the best is yet
In store
