Tonight the Sky

Tonight, the sky was lavender,
as violet as my dreams.
As purple as my love for you,
and deepening, it seems
impossible.  The darkening
that hid us here from view.
Impossible that it could grow,
but still it grew and grew,
even down on this Earth so cold
it seeps into our bones,
where we have wandered longingly,
now finally not alone.
I don't just wonder at this bond,
deeper than words can tell,
reflected in clouds above;
but that I loved you well.
