Flickering Spirit
A spirit of flickering colors
Green and blue
Colors turn into creativity
Emerging from a male’s soul.
The man hides from the public
He sprinkles inspiration from
Purple rain when doves cry
This spirit refrained from having a name
It knew the male body it was within
Was only an instrument to bring peace
The spirit of flickering colors
Green and blue
Left the human soul it occupied
To spread itself throughout the universe
as we said goodbye to the man, Prince.
