Joy

JOY 

I have found more than one of them. 
I do not care for pigeons. 
They are not doves. 
I leave them where they fall. 
I pick up every dove I find. 
I do not hear them call. 
I do not leave them where they lay. 
I do not bury them. 
I pick them up and I place them all. 
I do not think it sin. 
There is no weight left in a bird. 
(just litenessness my friend) 
That has no life within it. 
A bird without meat in it, 
{"ewe knoe",Whiteflower;again--:D 
A bird is just [a thing]a spirit given form, 
a small part of GOD. 
Parme--saw the sparrow fall.
