Purple haze

I close my eyes at night

But the sleep will not come

Only purple haze

Every night, every day

All day long

I am engulfed in purple haze

Hanging like mist in the background and foreground

Or loudly washing over me like tidal waves

Who am I to stop the ocean

When the moon calls her?

What bonds me to my purple

Haze that touches every part of me?

I cannot reach for clouds

That swell and shrink but never vanish

Sneaking in through every crack

And though my mind grows weary

Every cell in me has a soul

And they are all calling out for

Purple
