A Field of Purple Flowers


Walking the dog
on a brilliant summer's day,
I come across a field
of purple wildflowers,
various shades of violet
some more red,
some more shades of blue.
Some lighter,
some much darker
these purple flowers for my view.

A field of purple flowers
with but a few whites and yellows
mixed therein
but these are mere highlights
in this regal place where
the wild grass tips
are crowned with purple too.

Walking past a field of purple flowers,
wondering why here it is purple.
What's the purpose?
What does purple do?
