Purple Heart Vine
Purple petals dance in the breeze,
Underneath the summer skies.
Rich hues climb, reaching high,
Persistent in their sunny rise.
Leaves of green and blooms of pride,
Echo warmth on every side.

Elegant in their quiet grace.
Amid the vines, a secret blooms,
Rooted deep in sunny rooms.
