Today while I was writing this poem a wondrously magical coincidence happened to to me via my Instagram Site… I received an article from a Geelong singer/songwriter, Arjuna, the her new song was up on YouTube, and the title of her brand new single is “Vessel” … and of course I have attach her music/video as my feature song below .. .. and congratulations to “SheIsAjuna” on her fabulous song.
Purple Vessels
Purple is the colour of my dreams
Flowers are the vessels of true love

The fragrant rosemary bush from Tullawalla
Represents the essence of my father’s life

And I visualize my mother’s angels
Floating above the basket of fairy lavenders

My Fragile cyclamen plant
A loving gift from Carole’s favourite carer

The delicate and everlasting drooping violet
Began growing forty-five years ago
Planted by Dad to celebrate our marriage
Annually producing our beautiful wedding flower
A purple shaped vessel of eternal love
