house plant – Leaf And Twig

The Color Purple

a touch
of sun and
color blooms

leaf unfurls
to its full
ascension

pink trumpets
playing
cool jazz

unfurled blossom
both summoning and surrendering
all possibilities

spot
of brightness
in a winter day

into the light
joy is born
brighter for darkness’ depth

third Sunday
violet advent
arrives in the window

travel
the curving petal edge
swim the pool of color
