I close my eyes
there you are
playing neath the
purple rain
Heavens glow
dances across
your face as you
lift your arms in
glorious praise
and you dance
carefree and
healthy
the cancer that
stole you from us
no longer ravaging
you from with in
I can hear your
voice singing
and worshiping
as you flourish
beneath the
sparkling drops
of purple rain
the shower seems
to exhilarate you
flowers of every
color making a
carpet beneath
your feet
the birds set
lightly upon the
tree branches of
a forest rich with
the Masters exquisite
design
your play ground
to enjoy
you smile and though
I miss you terribly
my friend
I know and when I
open my eyes again
I know that you know
as well and I leave you
to dance beneath
the purple rain........
Author notes
Going to see the movie Purple Rain at the drive in with my friend Marilyn is one of my most treasured memories. Its been 13 years and it hardly seems possible that so much time has passed since I last saw her. I miss her so much sometimes that I just want to cry but I know she is in a better place so I like to pretend I know where she is and what she is doing...........playing beneath the purple rain in a place called Heaven.
