immortelle, called Princess Haiku, where are you hiding?

Princess Haiku hurried home for the flower twilight was wrapping the world in its petal tight fog. I know they are hiding somewhere she said to herself. The last time I looked I could feel them and now this emptiness...........

Dressed in Purple, Immortelles

Dressed in purple, Immortelles appeared in a dream last night.
Princess Haiku, they said in a fade of eternal voice.

Cultivate inner stillness.

If I could be purple, Princess Haiku replied, I would be a watercolor of twilight and could leave myself at the altar of immortality.
