Mourning Calls



Photo by Michael J. Hopiak


Wind song sings plaintive through piney veil
Triumphant, these feathered souls in flight
Stretching their wings to seek the sun
Wind song sings plaintive through piney veil
Mourning doves keeping close to their young
Hoo whoo wooing them through the night ~
Wind song sings plaintive through piney veil
Triumphant, these feathered souls in flight.

Good morning, Sissie

A wonderful sound to wake to, I think....as well as go to sleep.  Something so peaceful in it.  What a beauty is this poem!

Oh, what tenderness here, and your words do fully justice to the beauty of this feathered family!

Love, Margherita

It was you.

Sunshine, this mourning call, whispers softly to my soulful self. God surely smiles at how beautifully you use the gift that He gave you. You add your beauty to His.

Love & Sun Light,
Linda

I love mourning doves. Their call brings so many old memories. Thank you for sharing this.

Sunshine,

   I can't think of a more appropriate response than what Earth Angel has given!
Thank you for amplifying His beauty through your many gifts.

How beautiful was this picture and your words complimented it perfectly.  I have many doves that I feed and they wander around my backyard every day.  I love them.
I hope all is well with you, my friend.

Take care.......Sue

here we've been watching the baby ducks -- how quickly they grow (and are separated from Mom and Dad).

Windsong sings softly,
The sneaking cat comes calling
Feet not making a sound
Waiting for birds falling.

Climbing up into the tree
Nest of peeps awaiting
Breakfast for one hungry cat
His breath comes abating.

Mourning dove swoops in flight
As its young start calling
Sneaky cat jumps in fright
Then the cat is falling.

heh - the dirty little rascal gets his due!!!  (Not you, Toe - the cat)
