Purple

Purple
Is the color
Of your dreams
When you sail
Away
On castles
Built
Of spiderweb
Strewn with
Diamonds
And trimmed
In lacy
Rainbows…

Purple
Is the color
Of the sky
When the damp air
Tenses,
Gathering
In billowing
Cumulonimbus,
Rolling in wild joy
As the first
Raindrops fall…

Purple
Is the color
Of moonlight
When fairies
Dance
In wooded clearings,
Leaving dewdrops
Wherever
Their delicate feet
Kiss the grass…

Purple
Is the color
Of royalty,
Of broad
Velvet capes
Quivering with
Gold and jewels,
Of silver-studded
Diadems
Framing
An alabaster brow…

Purple
Is the color
Of magic
And dreams.
