Violet Lover

She arrived wearing violet 
       and speaking sooo..... softly
  Speaking only to my inner 
self
while I was catching 
sunlight and moonlight
    before they touched the ground
We've learned from the 
  philosiphers
   how to watch the hands of 
the clock 
   Surrounded by violet
and touching a violet lover
  I noticed the bright stars
one of which is shining for us
     A galaxy away 
we'll feel the energy 
   which the universe 
has left us 
   After its most extraordinary 
birth

So I take it that violet must be a color of the universe to inspire us to see things more clearly! Violet is close to lavender, which is my favorite color! Glad I found this older one I had not seen yet!
