23 black doves landed on me plaguing me with sadness

I prayed for sunshine and the butterflies to free me

Full of colors and hues, full of strength and reassurance

Death stood before me his scythe splitting clouds into despair

Not allowing me to see colors not even the grays

 

64 years she loved me I look up to her every day in prayer

Above me they stare me down, from trees and roof tops

They swarmed from his cold white hands like tumbling pigeons

Shadowing and muddying the clear streams in my heart and mind

23 black doves mocking, torturing my sleep with songs of death

 

 

Pained,

I wondered when do I wake?

When do I finally rest?
