A bouquet of color for inspiration, and thanks to Tess for the challenge!
PURPLE
Deep purple stains the night,
seeps into my fingers
as I bathe in the surf of midnight.
Hang the shroud,
let color drain,
smooth the folds
when the time comes.
Clad in lavender,
dressed to disappear.
Then a blade
of grass,
a shoot,
morning's radiance
clutches a faint green sprout
that could be rooted in hope.
