The Purple Sun: A Poetry Book of Domestic Violence #lorijeanfinnila #womenauthors #lierature #poetrybooks #domesticviolence

 

It was significant to me last night during bed rest what the green leaf that God shone the sun onto for me and to show others when I was at Washington Park in Portland Oregon through the hiking trail the path I needed to follow for this book. This is a lot of what these poems are about in this book. Please take in its importance and I hope to shed hope onto the world.

Another land, time place

another dark scary door

that this purple sun opens

It carries to a tunnel

I'm not afraid 

I'm stepping in

the green leaf changes its color

Last night it signified to me

when I had cried in pain

as the blood flowed from me

I asked God to take me

he replied to tell the story

of what’s going on as he saved me

As the beginning of this poem

came to me later 

that I didn’t remember that I wrote

or how it came about

it's at these times that I realize 

it's from God.
