When Pigeons Fly

Today the air is brisk and clear
     With a whisp of winter in the air.
As pigeons coo, sweet morning doves,
     Pitching woo like young love does.
And speckled dew upon the leaves
     Uplifting every part of me
From tip of toes to top of head
     Enthralled by all in this flowerbed.
Ashes to ashes, dust to rise
     Transforming 
Me,
     When pigeons fly.

Hi Andrea, it's such a kind pleasure to "See" you again and appreciate your heart felt appraisal more than you know. I can't wait to read more of your own writing but will have to wait until tomorrow due to a VERY hectic day for me today. But again, THANK YOU so much & cheers to you!
