Late Fledgling
She makes no sound And melts among colors Of the ground --much As a memory sinks Into the heart of me. Time passes, clouds Roll, doves instruct The human soul.
I believe you're right, Jon. Norma's the expert on birds here but she's off helping with family stuff today. I just now tried looking up looking our bird's markings and came up with Mourning Dove, less probably a Common Ground Dove. Beyond that, my own ornithological expertise favors Small Mutant Gorilla.
Oh "melting with color of ground " is so fascinating and sublime dear Geo
ReplyDeleteso beautifully defined ,i am touched!
My thanks, dear Baili, for your sensitive and encouraging comment. In Nature, there are unending metaphors for existence.
DeleteDoves have such delicate, lovely colouring - and your poem is delicate and lovely too, Geo.
ReplyDelete0_Jenny, the dove's symbolism of peace is carried in its call, but also in its grace and courage. Thanks for your lovely comment.
DeleteAnother beauty, Geo. I have read it several times and each time it gets lovelier and lovelier.
ReplyDeleteMost kind, dear Arleen. Maybe if I write enough poetry I will get lovlier too.
DeleteGeo - what a beautiful poem and photo. She certainly does melt among the colors. Is that a mourning dove? I can't tell.
