Yet I must hold you close
Though the sky's made for flying
Such a cheeky remark earns you
A tighter embrace
Don't leave yet, my dove
Stay with me forever
Till the sun sets
And many moons may pass
Let your ruffled feathers lie at peace
Many adventures await
As mother nature calls you away
To realms far beyond my reach
Stay, I plead
I glimpse what you do not
Your chuckles of delight
Wafts back to me
On arms of a light breeze
Angled wings glide through the murky storm
In search of my dove
Many a broken wing flutters midair
Like flurrying snow
As the lost ones fall to their death
Still, I search, unrelenting
Your wings of indigo and amber
Calls out in the rumble of the storm
Fear betrayed in your eyes
Where are your calm and energy?
For I will always find you
Come home
Let your ruffled feathers lie at peace
Under my wings of silver and blue.
