Pigeons on a roof

Caring dove

Three pigeons sit on a roof 

they sit there 

whilst the rain falls 

All that needs to sigh 

just simply sighs 

the sky is raining 

too much warmth 

and maybe it’s tired , 

maybe it’s too much 

so the rain falls 

 

yet the poor pigeons are softly standing 

feeling the rain 

feeling the rain fall 

 

 maybe it’s too much 

and it’s easier for them to just sit on the roof for now 

maybe they are waiting for the rain to leave 

so they can travel 

again 

or maybe they are tired 

so they simply sit 

until they wish to go elsewhere

    Often we do not understand the motives of others we see. Out in the rain is a term often used and why one would choose to sit so voluntarily instead of under a eve we don't understand. In need of a shower? Simply like the feel? Need to cool off? Who knows? Do we not do the same with people?
