Amid The Echo of Doves
Listen
to the echo
of doves
calling
from high
rafters
in these
old derelict
buildings
where I now
reside ..
Their
haunting
song,
a gentle
hymn ..
Bouncing
loud
off the walls
below
both hollow
but yet
still proud ..
It feels
like a trick
of time
just passing
me by ..
Yes, listen
by all means,
but don’t
you dare feel
obliged to
linger
anywhere
here all
on your own ..
With just
the ghost of
me by your side ..
