I AM LAVENDER

I AM LAVENDER ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I stroll through fields of lavender, the air thick with the scent of memory. I feel time unfolding like a delicate frond, each moment wrapped in a calming lavender. I think about the lavender colors in my heart, the soft bruises and the times of lavender grace. I take a deep breath and listen~ languid lavender speaks of strength, comfort, and healing. I notice the sun setting, a palette of lavender-muted dreams left behind. This poem was written for and submitted to "Imagine Yourself A Color" poetry contest, Andrea Dietrich, sponsor.
