In early morning,
or late in the day
I hear the
soft, mournful tones
from the
lavender breast of a stone-colored dove.
It is a
soothing song in this suburban landscape,
a reminder
of wild things in wilder places
where I once
lived and loved
and my heart
roamed free.
It is a
pleasant song calling me
Home.

Lovely poem, I love hearing doves call
ReplyDeleteCrafty green Poet, me too! We have 6 species here in AZ, but the Mourning Dove is the most common!
DeleteThe emotion the dove's gentle song stirs in you so beautifully conveyed in this little poem. I started a group called Tre..... Poet Tree in Feb 2012 it is going really well.
