Purple Flower Power

purple flower power…what is it? the subtlety, openness, curiosity? when your deep, your highness, steeped in royalty - intact or in petals spread under feet or on silky beds. when your soft and pale, nearly a romantic moonlight, ardent, timid, yet wise on your light-fantastic-trip. purple flower power, not red, not white nor pink. Soothing, your tender upon the hearth. i’d not pay attention as much as if you were a flame, like lips upon lips or a pink-cherub youth. yet you’re graceful, like a ballerina, not on her tiptoes, but lacing up her soft shoes, slowly, waiting for a partner. purple flower power…what is it? an artist’s brush, a light dusk or dawn - but still it draws the eye. 10/7/2022

There's nothing quite like a beautiful, purple flower, Kim. I enjoyed reading of one of my favorite things, in one of my favorite colors. An awesome poem! Blessings

Purple is powerful, as you say. Rich, aristocratic, favored by many. Lovely write Kim

You have given us a glimpse of what it is, Kim, and it is a lovely bit of poetry. The color purple has historically been connected to the aristocracy.

Yes! The color was costly. A woman named Lydia, from the city of Thyatira, a seller of purple fabrics, a worshiper of God, was listening; and the Lord opened her heart to respond to the things spoken by Paul. Acts 16:14 Source: https://bible.knowing-jesus.com/topics/Purple-Cloth
