Colours In the Sky

QUOTE BY CHARLES MESSINA 
"Two doves in white flying, feathers glow beneath the morning's rainbow colours" 

Counting colours in you
Not so clear sky of blue
Until the greyness spoils the view,
And the prism of forming rainbows just grew,
Then from under the archway two doves of white flew.

Your imagery is delightful Harry, Sorry I have been scarce but time is a limited commodity - I hope you are well and wish you and your lovely family the peace of Christmas tide, the joyfulness of laughter and that 2023 brings whatever dreams you wish for to fruition . Hugs and blessings dear friend, Jennifer.

The imagery in this is exceptionally beautiful. I can't pick a favorite line really but the last two lines bring home the visuals.

I see occasionally in the spring and summer some ring-necked doves here that are almost white, and they are beautiful. I enjoy hearing their calls, the whirr of their wings, and the beauty they bring. Thanks for sharing and for dropping by my page. Sara
