When Doves Cry

Our broken hearts are crying,

this world’s in disarray.

Too many times seen dying

the souls from whence they 'lay'.

No words of comfort to be found

when doves cry out in vain.

As lifeless forms are laid to rest

what can we do but pray?

Author's Note

A tribute to the victims of the shooting in Charleston. There are no words to truly describe the tragedy........ (The title replicates a song from Prince as well as the Be Good Tanyas.)

Thank you for your heartfelt comment. Tragically it seems to becoming all too common. Let's hope their lives were not lost in vain. take care!

my favorite Prince song .. so your title drew me instantly .. sad and real tribute .. dismay is the word for sure .. your reminder in closing brings gratitude to my heart for having faith to turn to .. there are simply too many things that bewilder us without it .. beautiful tribute ..

Thank you so much for your kind words. It is almost too sad to write about but I just felt the need to say something. What you said about faith is so very true. Sometimes it is all we have!
