I am purple

I am Purple

Soft as lilacs, vulvic deep unfolding, wet, yielding, surrendering, letting go.

I am old lady strong and wise purple.

I am royal and ecclesial purple, deserving of dignity and respect.

I am grape-wine burgundy purple, blueberry centers and saskatoons to feed the bears and birds.

I am dark and opaque purple, full of silent mystery, deep pools of reds to blues to black.

I am the end of the rainbow band offering hope and the promise of ‘never again’.

I am shade loving pansies and frivolous petunias, hardy survivors, constant bloomers.

I am grief and mourning awaiting resurrection and joy.

I am spiritual chakra purple allowing light in,

opening doors.

I am purple.
