LET LOOSE THE DOVES

Let loose the doves
all at once
from the tower
raised from birth
In all directions
secrets tied to breasts
one day to return
Some will rest
on nearby trees
some will fall
as they try
But the bird
I love best
relays from Far Away
So I wait
Another Day
on the rooftops
to catch that
first glimpse
of feather
Cutting through
The Dawn
