The sun sets at night
The birds take flight
Yet her favorite color was nowhere in sight
They said when she leaves you'll see her everywhere
Yet I feel hopelessness and in such despair
I have a glimmer of hope with each passing day
That something purple will soon pass by my way
There it is!
Just like I thought!
On a shirt, towel and blanket
The color seems to pop
She is right there every dayHer favorite color purple shows me the way
It may not be primary or easy to spot
but royalty knew it was worth hundreds and the color to be sought
she told me this all the time
Just to make sure I never forgot!
Perhaps purple was her favorite because it was royal or maybe not!?!
I just wish I could ask her again, as I put her urn in her spot.
The birds take flight
I see her tonight in a different lightperhaps ppurplishtonight.

The Blue Ridge Stalker
Tom had left the Ford down the way, its spark plugs finally exhausted and no mechanics for a dozen miles back through the foothills to Strossburg. No matter, he had worn his boots—almost as if he planned for this to happen. The puzzle he sought to solve emanated from the woods clinging to the slopes above; the valley behind held no mysteries.
