Wrap Me In Purple

Wrap Me In Purple ~ A Poem as Spring Emerges from the Dark

Wrap me in purple

The kind of purple that crawls like mist

And seeps around and through, closer than dew.

Let me weep there by candlelight

With the scent of almost rain

That lands on me like silk spun

In the aftermath of final truth,

A fine and beautiful

Unspeakable grace.

 

Wrap me in purple

Beneath a blue moon

Lighting the night sky

Illuminating the night clouds

Revealing the hidden eyes and wings

And the heart that remains in me.

Set me free to understand the waters

That flow from the night spring

With transparent and undeniable evidence

Of diety.

 

Wrap me in the purple lies

That make life beautiful.

 Let me rest there.

At the journey’s end

When I am quenched of all my thirst

Of all my cravings,  of all my seekings

In the arms of the sooth,

When all that I have loved

And all that I have trusted

Have fallen by the wayside

And the only thing left standing there

Is the one moment, like a nudge

That sent me the wrong way.

 

When you find me there

Forgive me

Leave me

But Go easy on me

Just one more day.
