Violet

A purple temperature within my gloves— For this night, the bleak snow is on and on, Which I am gathering your meaning of— For our knit in-between is slowing, gone. I'm to your losses; snowflakes lavender, And straddling the fence, the timbre aches— On your mauve dress, redeeming ice sheets turn; In such moments, solid again, we're made. My own part in skies— a paralyzed blue, Where dark clouds wreathe in and out of interest; Know the true day will dawn and set with you— Sun's beg on rolling stones for violet.

A purple temperature within my gloves… And straddling the fence, the timbre aches… My own part in skies— a paralyzed blue…great images, Paige!

Lavender is my favorite color and it's much akin to violet. Fantastic imagery!

Ah you’ve written a beautiful quatrain. It must be snowing there? I absolutely love your way with rhymes and how it flows and so many lines stood out for me like “ I'm to your losses; snowflakes lavender, And straddling the fence, the timbre aches—“ kind of lines i truly appreciate and enjoy reading! And the last stanza is brilliant! Deep metaphors and very creatively phrased. Pleasure always reading your work, this one is a fave for me

Oh my, dear Paige, you've so beautifully described those 'violet' shades of coldness in winter which might be perceived both metaphorically and literally as well.In those moments of losses and stillness, we are rebuild and more resilient than ever! There are so many emotions flowing throughout this write especially"My own part in skies-a paralyzed blue" That reflects an ebb and flow of dark feelings that bring ache..And those last lines show how the new dawn will be in togetherness,this is a fav
