I can remember one evening,
some years gone by-
violet clouds
criss-crossing
the lavender horizon
tinged silver
by burnished shadows.
A mezmerizing display-
plum softened tones
leaking through gaps
in an etheral expanse.
Lilac blush splayed gently
upon the face of dusk.
I haven't seen such night since-
I guess it only happens...
...once in a purple moon.
