Purple Pondering

I’m at the age where
I’ve grown really long hair
And I don’t denim care
That the trend is to cut it

No longer wearing high heels
Just for a flex or a thrill
More about how my feet feel
And they don’t love it

I don’t have many pink plans
Flying by seat of peach pants
Keeping my praying hands
I am blessed with contentment 

Becoming a red recluse 
Enjoying sandy solitude 
Embracing my various moods
Without any raspberry resentment 

I wonder of me what they say
Am I now an old onyx maid
Because there’s no wedding day
It tickles me pink to think

That my out of wedlock birth 
Gave my life priceless worth
Despite sermon of online church
I entertain purple pondering
