Purple Sky

entry picture

Rippling from beyond an infinite place,

There seems to be room for an ultimate space.

Miles high,

Beneath the sky.

Lashings of purple fire build the tower of rounded shapes.

 

Coupling oranges of clashing toxicity,

Yet the simplicity fills awaiting eyes with Enigma.

Trying to understand the suns cast of light.

Filling empty minds with the splashes of purple sky.

 

Walking beyond, through and over the grassy hills of Norfolk.

The canvas stretches,

Around all who stare, absorbing the creation of the purple lake

Guiding all home

Time becoming late

The purple sky only shows with debate.

 

The sun must be in the right state,

As the shapes collide and let the photons dissipate,

Lashings of purple fire

Desire,

A story to tell

All who awaits.

Poemagraphic, Thanks for your kind comments on my work. It's great to see people taking an interest.

I wouldn't worry too much about seeing the UFO's. I've been seeing them all my life. Not little tiny spectacles or movements in the sky, I'm talking huge ships flanked by RAF jet fighters. The first time I saw one was in the sky over Wymondham. Both my kids saw it as well, it was low and shaped like a leaf. It must have been 50meters in length. When it realised we were watching, it shot North quicker than you could blink. The RAF fighter jets turned around and headed home once it disappeared.

What a great title to a great piece David. This could be the namesake poem of its own anthology with its format, substance, and consistency in relaying its unique message and imagery. The last line would be a great introductory element, or as an outro.?
