purple rain

when the world

looses

an icon...

 we all mourn

 for the man

 the music

 the memories

 the association

 we have

with each song

and the references

 they may bring

 i was watching

 an interview

 last evening

 and an associate

 who once worked

with prince said

some people tell you

 to think outside

the box

 prince

 was never in a box

may we all

 have a bit of that

philosophy

in us going forward

in this thing

called life

 be uninhibited

 be not afraid

be creative
