A Purple Prayer

Dedicated to one of the greatest artist of all time.

 

We are gathered here today

To celebrate the life

Of this man we call PRINCE…

Oh what an artist was he,

Some may  have thought he was delirious

But when it comes to music

We know he was a genius.

If you ask his friends

They will say his greatest talent

Was being a philanthropist.

Now gone much too soon,

Fans and family mourn alike,

Now we understand

What it sounds like

When doves cry.

There is no doubt his humanity and music

Will forever touch us all

Like PURPLE RAIN from Heaven.

There have been dozens of poetic tributes to Prince lately, but this is one of my favorites. You've woven in the song lyrics in a way that feels natural to the story you're telling here. I feel you've really touched on what is most memorable about Prince, beyond his music, which is woven into the popular culture of our young adult lives. Great job!

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

Thank you so much... glad you liked how I slide his lyrics in as a tribute.

This poem is a PERFECT description of Prince. His death was very tragic and even though I know about him because of my family and the news, I think he was an amazing artist who will be much missed.

This is a beautiful expressions of a wonderful talented genius. I will miss Prince and his unique music. Gone too soon indeed. :(

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

Thank you for the review and sentiment.

[Lorraine Montez]

So many expressions of loss for this man, who touched people worldwide by simply being who he was...a contemplative powerhouse of rhythm, fashion, passion and spirit. It's beyond sad that he's gone, but grateful for the treasure-trove of music he left, published to date, and "un" (in that vault). Much brilliance to celebrate. Beautiful words you wrote, and they look cool in purple!

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

Thank you again... You are very kind.

[Ayvid N]

The beauty of your words draws me to the reverence and love you have for this great musician and the depth of your sorrow at his passing. My heartfelt condolences to you and all the others who loved and appreciated PRINCE.

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

Thank you hon... it is interesting how we can mourn for someone we have not met... but they touched our lives with their art.

[Ayvid N]

I know the feeling...even you and your words are an integral part of my life.

[Thomas Fitzgerald]

A fitting tribute to a person that was and forever will be a game changer, well done, good read.

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

Thank you kindly.

Prince broke a mold, was sensual, feisty, and wasn't afraid to do things his way, which included how his music was handled.. I adored him as an entertainer, and admired his ability to keep his personal life private, and giving without a spot light. Great tribute !

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

There were certainly many thing to admire about him... thank you sis.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

love the tribute here...and yes, hardly anyone knew what a giving person he was...that other side of him rarely seen...He was different, but in such a good way.

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

Thank you Jacob... it is a shame many didn't see that side of him.
