Under Purple Clouds
Under Purple Clouds
Every night at midnight, the purple clouds came out to dance with the blushing sky. You must understand, this was not just a random sighting but an extravagant yearly event; their arrival was always marked 30 days before the spring solstice. They would set themselves right atop the neighborhood park, nestled within a slight forested area, next to the soccer field that breeds a spirit of victory during the day. In this designated spot, which they felt conducive for a success of wills, they would come out to prep festivities nightly for all the days before spring. It is said that it is them who throw the seeds down from above for flowers to bloom in the season. They set an intention with every seed, the flower being the physical representation of the abundance bestowed by the Gods and royalty above. The result would emanate onto the people, the fauna, and the land. Some poets even consider these flowers the manifested laughter of the higher ups. Not much like sunsets who cast watercolor paintings in the sky every day, these purple clouds always brought on a parade to celebrate the new era of renewal, abundance and growth.
