My Dove

Turtle dove Escaped From the prison Of your homeland Each morning Hearing you Call early Before sunrise Comforts me Knowing you Are always there Expressing How you feel I hear the Whirr of your Wings when You fly away I see the Ring around Your neck The graceful Shape of your Wings The beautiful Round tail So graceful In flight I long to Join in the Flight Way up High But I can't I am earth Bound for Now stuck (Turtle doves once were tame and escaped and are now coming into our area. They are a beautiful bird. I enjoy seeing and hearing them.)
