Like a Dove

Dulcet whispers slip through their fingertips
fleeting beauty never to last
this felicity is deceiving their hearts
still they search for destiny in the past
realizing too late what life has become
a deadly charade that claims even the dawn

Whilst stuck in the limbo between here and gone
an epihany of silent understanding comes
betwixt the fearful screams and those yearning for love
a heart reaches out with hope like a dove
descending from darkness and winged with relief
even those trapped in the briars feel a light bestow belief
and the stains of yesterdays are cleared from the slate
starting anew, pure and no longer misconstrued
like a dove, take to the sky


sweetened phrases ehco in their minds
touch and go but for a day
this delicacy is binding their chains
still they love what has not changed
deciding too soon to be ordinary
a fate worse than anything imagined

Whilst stuck in the limbo between here and gone
an epihany of silent understanding comes
betwixt the fearful screams and those yearning for love
a heart reaches out with hope like a dove
descending from darkness and winged with relief
even those trapped in the briars feel a light bestow belief
and the stains of yesterdays are cleared from the slate
starting anew, pure and no longer misconstrued
like a dove, take to the sky
