Sara Kendrick Poet I do not know?

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.)

P Sheart August 3, 2009 at 3:46 PM Hi Sara Ah, A lovely sentiment! I love the fact that you're a nature lover too! I can dwell on this thought over and over again for I know the feeling well. There is such comfort in the natural reacrurance,happenings, in nature that brings us such joy, so much to look forward to. To be free upon wings would be such a visionary embrace. Thanks for sharing. Take care hun Love Light Truth Patricia
