Dove Collection: Symphony
Strands of sunlight are caught between
Branches of rough bark
And green leaves
Standing tall in the summer eve
Long days of sweltering heat
comes to meet honey
(sticky and sugary sweet)
Jumping and dancing from branch
Wandering through daylight and dreams
Coffee brown branches twist up to the
Sky of dragon blue
And puffs of air
Floating through their share
Of clockwork gears set to chime
At the right time, lonely
(memory, like mine)
Daring to stretch and run and fly
Wandering through daylight and dreams
Of mine
Alike in symphony
Different in epiphany
Settling in painted homes
In watered down cups of coffee
Far too soon to meet
In any sort of discordant harmony
Cold nights and burning days
Sandy dunes, and paying dues
Prison filled, and poison pills
And yellow killed
There is no life here
But the Blue
Winding through the wind
Slamming doors of a kind
Too soon to take judgement
Of that candle in a bind
Coughing through airy lungs
Of a raspy voice of mine
Shuddering through
Bones held together by string
In a never-ending stream
Of a river of mindless dreams
Too caught in between
The light of different lives
Tied together by string
Stretching out in two directions
But never-reaching the honey and dew drops
Of never-ending blue
Fearing to call
Out into the wind
Where I might meet the cold
Where I might be told
Of a world frozen in spiderwebs
Suspended above on a dove
Made of translucent strings
And insects caught all in between
Waiting with bated breath for the
Moon or sun to beam
