Purple

By CJ Foster

It’s a strange thing
To go without
It could be anything
Whatever you’re missing
Let’s call it purple
You were so dazzled by the prism
Its show of light and colors
You didn’t realize purple wasn’t among them
So many wonderful hues
Tasting the rainbow
Is delicious fun
Taking time
And as it passed
You were happy
Content
Wished for nothing
Until the day
Purple walked in
Bringing with it
Everything purple brings
You like purple
You miss purple
How long has it been since you’ve had purple?
You want purple
The prism shatters
The rainbow dissipates
It’s a strange thing
To find what you've been missing
When an unwished wish comes true
