Purple Song
I am awake
I am awake to relations and action.
If you should meet me upon the
street do ask me for
I can tell you my hopes
for the journey I am on
and that is enough.
It matters whether tomorrow
arrives. If there is
only this day and after it is
night it will matter now.
I am awake. I am awake to relations
and action. In the heart of me
you will find it bursting with
joy. Take it and spread it out
far. Let the wind have
it and it will find its way home.
