The colour purple is rare, maybe it is by design
Other colours can't compare, to that of royal bloodline
We can see it crystal clear, when we look upon the sky
In the fleeting of sunlight, it may wave to us goodbye
The entire Earth may you look, high and low may you scour
The colour is truly rare, it possesses that power
However if you wake in, the early morning hour
You may find in your garden, the colour on a flower
At four-hundred-ten wavelength, it's lowest visible light
If it were any lower, would be out of our sight
If the colours were to race, purple would take the last place
It would not be a disgrace, as it launched in outer space
In space it would then travel, distances over yonder
Getting weaker as it went, through particles it wander
As the light begins to fade, and one begins to ponder
Worry not for I assure, its chance it did not squander
For somewhere in the distance, on some other alien world
A couple gazed to the sky, together as they were curled
They would capture the last sight, of truly amazing light
Although you may be skeptic, it truly is majestic
Purple danced upon their sky, as it waved to them goodbye
