Clouds tinged purple with twilight
Hang above two lovers
Perched on a grassy hill
Enjoying the company of birds
And each other
Dusty purple paint coating the walls
Of a bedroom left unused
The return of a child
Thought long gone
A healed family hugs, encased in these walls
The color purple has been used for years
As a sign of royalty and wealth
Maybe not material
But we are fortunate all the same
