Who Am I

Once again i'm alone searching within to find my strength my light of passage has not been shone traveling congested roads at great length my people's always seem to miss the boat waiting for monatary arms to embrace forseen love i'm left to the solitude of hands to keep me afloat like the symbolic dove i bring love, peace, and a message difficult to decipher from a spilt tounge this prescription requires wisdom to be taken in small dosage I ask from what tree is the virtue of a woman hung? as seen with my eyes and felt with my heart i have crossed many black cats and still have not found my counterpart. who am I? written for the contest sponsored by SKAT A "Guess who?
