my little dove

a little dove spoke to me today
she asked “what’s wrong?”
i replied “if i tell you, will you stay?”
she said “im here to make you strong”

the little dove let me taste freedom
i asked “can i open my window for you to stare?”
she replied “what if i see your storm?”
i said “then ill keep you in the middle, it’s calm there”

my little dove took my hand
she walked with me through roads never run
she let me share my granules of sand
it felt we were in a voyage to a nearby sun

“i can’t stay anymore”
“just a little longer?”
“we only want to stay a little longer with the things we love”
“will you come back?”
“every time you feel like sharing something”
“will you sit on my shoulder?”
“how will i? i’m only just a feeling”
“i will miss you”
“look deep into your blue sky and you will find me”

my little dove unraveled me then left me
my little dove was only here to make me realize
the emptiness of the meadows around my tree
she just stared into it with her soulful eyes

she was too small to ever fill it up
so she left with just a goodbye
