No Branch In Beak

everyday
i wake
sometimes
early 
others late

but lately
whenever
i do i'm
greeted by
the sound

almost owl like
but instead of
who i hear
you or boohoo
hoo

as if Noah
waiting
for a sign
someday
sometime

i will
not wake
to the call
of the mourning
dove for he calls for

thee

Lovely piece Jeff. Made me smile. Not just cuz I love doves, or do a perfect mourning dove call ;)

A wonderful comment Maureen. Thank you so much. I'm sorry to say back in the day when I used to hunt, I ate many a Mourning Dove as a meal. Life is always changing...
