Paper sits

Caring dove


Notice of absence from Caring dove
Always other people not fair

Paper sits silently 

quiet 

being itself a quiet place 

where words are sometimes missing 

still , silent 

 

and so the paper may think 

where are the different colours that are sometimes needed 

here in white 

knowing at one point in time 

a certain colour may find itself with the paper 

be it blue 

daytime soft gentle skies 

green grass , a grounded softness that helps the flowers 

wanting , sometimes needing other colours to gently land 

 

paper is never meant to be just white , 

always expects , wants and knows other colours may land 

its meant to hold ink 

feel other colours 

it just has to wait 

for someone else to write 

 

a bit helpless that piece of paper sometimes 

because maybe wishes to write for itself 

and wishes for other colours 

and hopefully nice words 

without having to wait

        Paper just needs that human touch.
        In saying that, my paper aeroplanes never return.
        Sure that's rejection.
