Original Submission by Cornelia Boshoff
Purple View
Hardly noticed…
exam time,
crunch time.
A deep breath.
A moment
A purple view.
Years lost,
knowledge gained,
purple the trees.
Still the same.
Everything changed.
Purple the view.
Wrinkled fingers,
holding a pen.
Purple time…
No cramming.
No exam.
Just purple.
