Violet Grove
The trees, boasting about their colors, weep
Having been newly blossomed they have clout
Hidden behind the purple cloud they seep
Blending beside each tree wishing about
Reflecting image in the water true
The trees, boasting about their colors, weep
Thinking about love, this image brings you
Secure as this grove pleasantly to keep
Violet leaves stem out, getting what they reap
Our house’s concealed beyond the world of trees
The trees, boasting about their colors, weep
The massive powers bring me to my knees
Slowly I approach this island by boat
Purple glow becomes greater, allowing sleep
I’m surely enamored by the tree’s coat
The trees, boasting about their colors, weep
