Dove

The Dove

III

 

I felt the flutter of its breast

Its quick beating heart did not rest

carefully nuzzling its small head 

upon my ear, It softly said

 

\"Welcome, and how are you today?

It had not dared to look my way 

Such beautiful feathers\" I Said

gazing at its white breast ahead

 

Noble like a king he appeared 

Majestic tail upon his rear

“I’m very well thank you “I said

Noting the white Dove was well bred

 

I felt the flutter of his breast

Upon my ear, it softly said

The doves feet concealed his veneer

Beautiful , whispering in my ear

\"I was caught in a fierce struggle 

for my freedom I did juggle\"

 

He seemed rather mysterious

Worldly yet very serious

Oh the thing\'s he must have juggled

To lose a claw in its struggles

 

The price of freedom a torn limb

Was his near future looking grim?

The heartache he must have juggled

No white feathered dove should struggle 

 

The doves feet concealed his veneer

for my freedom I did juggle\"
