One morning I walked down a path

With gentle steps that made no sound,

And came upon a lightening bolt

Of brilliant purple on the ground.

My heart leapt up to see it there,

So certain in its point of view,

So full of life and firmest faith

About what it was here to do.

It minced no words, it had no doubt,

It shone with all it held inside,

So positive, so unafraid,

So glorious in its purple pride.
