Caring dove

Red umbrella on a puddle

A red umbrella softly sits 

like a group of petals without the company of another flower 

she softly sits on a blue puddle in the rain 

collecting pieces from the helpless sky 

and they sit for a while 

 

falling 

being there 

with the sadness or light joy from the sky 

flower on the blue puddle sits softly 

strongly 

pieces from the sky falling 

 

yet there’s no other flower by her side 

space below her is calming 

like a soft sea 

with truth too 

 

is she ok on the puddle 

or would she rather be on the grass 

closer to others like herself
