Purple

Let’s take our paintbrush
and combine the hot,
passionate, fierce energy of red
with the calm, flowing stability of blue
to colour our world purple
as we blend fire and water into one
And like lavender,
in purple it all looks so
sweet and peaceful
cosmic and spiritual
but we won’t forget that
even if the blue may colour it cooler
purple is still made of red
