The Reign of Purple

When life leaves me coated in sadness and grief,

I like to bathe under a waterfall of inner peace.

It starts with just a drip,

and I feel my world shift.

It forms a pool of purple,

then maybe a plum stream

before I finally close my eyes

and let it rain down on me…

THE REIGN OF PURPLE

The meaning of being free.

I detach from this earthly body

and surrender to my purest energy.

This purple flow lets me know

that I have broken free from the curse of humanity.

Pull back my smooth and silky sun-kissed skin,

and behold veins that pump lilac to my heart from within.

By letting purple in

I have vanquished my demons and released my soul from sin.

Where fear had previously held domain

this color has washed over all my suffering and pain.

I’ve entered a new state of consciousness

where not the skin that I’m in

but the love and light that I give

defines this life that I live.

To be purple is to be full without needing to eat.

To know that there is no missing piece-

that you already came with everything you need to feel complete.

Inside you lies a soul that’s perfect and unique.

A light so bright some must blind themselves because they don’t know how to see.

Before I was purple I succumbed to what they told me Black could be.

This pigment has offered me it’s lavender light full of limitless hopes and dreams.

I accept purple into every fiber of my being

to replace the love that's been withheld from me.

Whenever you feel red or blue, know all your struggle has led you to this glorious purple hue.

to be purple is to be purposed;

For your own divinity to resurface.

To be born again as royalty,

To know you are exactly where you need to be.

To live purple is to live with no restraint.

No imaginary boundaries to keep you in your place.

As purple cascades over me

I can't help but wonder why this sensation can’t become my reality?

I want to pour out purple in every waking moment

I want to bleed out peace and make love my only motive

I have a spirit of greatness in my being,

a fountain of violet wealth unseen.

Whether or not the world chooses to agree,

I refuse to let prejudiced thoughts diminish me.

Purple has drowned what they thought of me

and birthed who I was meant to be.

The color purple is so sacred to me,

because it means choosing my own destiny.

When I leave this Earth and join my kin in the sky,

I would like a grand pharaoh’s goodbye,

but don’t dress me in black or shower me with gold.

Cover me in purple because it’s the color of a rich soul.
