The Doves Sonnet The trust I give these days is without fear And winters bite has lost its chill to me That crystal on my cheek is not a tear Although the glint may speak of hidden glee I heard the pain you spoke for all those years And wondered at the inner strength you had I hope that your new path be filled with cheer And forks or bends don’t ever make you sad On balcony we stood above the crowd And talked about this feeling in our hearts The shock that we could say these thoughts out loud As if these years were moments just apart In you I feel the freeing of the doves As I was wind and welcomed you with love.

Surely, it must be like that. I find some solace in your words and pray that you do too.  |

Dg.. thanks for stopping by. But that also sounds like your not writing much either, or keeping it all to yourself. Parker |

"The shock that we could say these thoughts out loud As if these years were moments just apart" Treating each moment as if.... Your songbird has been missing from these blue skies for too long, dear Parker. This piece soulfully sings a sweet sad cooing above the gentle whooshing sound of a dove in flight. |
