Purple Sunset

By Noor Sclafani

Purple Sunset includes a thought-provoking and compelling collection of Noor Sclafani's poetry and prose on various universal life topics, such as love, relationships, childhood, pain and sorrow, personal growth, healing, nature, and health and death. Her work deftly weaves life experiences with spirituality and wisdom. Once you read the words within, you'll never see a purple sunset the same way again.

The color purple is: the blending of red and blue. Hot and cold. Two energies creating balance and harmony. The sublime and royal color of the crown. A vertex. A window. An opening.

A sunset is: where the sun kisses the earth. Where the day and night meet, and the two dance. A moment of unity and understanding. A transition. A nexus. An arrival.
