Fields of purple sway,
Gentle whispers in the breeze,
Calm in sunlit glow.

Sandy, You have created an abstract (ICM I surmise) that communicates exactly what you say, “Fields of purple sway, Gentle whispers in the breeze, Calm in sunlit glow.” Wonderful. Personally, I’d eliminate the white border as it’s the first thing I see; the brightest eye-catcher. What do you think?
@Larry_Greenbaum
Hi Larry - I appreciate your thoughts!
I like to stick a border around my images; they feel unfinished to me, otherwise.
So how about just a lighter border? (See Edit)
Wonderful ICM. I think the colors work beautifully together. Of course as you know with abstracts, colors are subjective (we can make them whatever we want!) Having said that, I think you could tweak the blues to be less magenta and more cyan?(very small changes though) more pale? to enhance perhaps soften the motion? I dunno.
Also personal and subjective, but given the graceful flow of this, if it were mine, I might drop the clarity a bit, and then counter with more texture to maintain some details. Again subjective. As presented though, this works beautifully!
