A touch of colour to a greying world A smile under a blazing sun A flower abloom on a misty morn To whom being itself is fun A lonesome star on a cold dark night That makes you smile even when you're lost A friend who will give you a hand to hold And a shoulder that thaws morose frost Laughter that bubbles from the soul Tears that well from the heart Wisdom that is wrapped in innocence Like the meaning hidden within art... 'Being Purple' is all of the above and more. Here is a repertoire of strong emotions, the emotions of a woman in love, denial, ecstacy and poignant reminiscence. There are times when a simple verse is all it takes to heal an aching soul - be it of the reader or the poet, this collection is a result of many such healing moments.
