Wings

Careful words through gentle breezes,

Storms.

Stacking rocks one by one, too high to stay,

Falling. 

Sharp ocean air filling lungs of paper, 

Torn. 

Killing a dove with the fallen rocks,

Betrayal. 

A farce, lies told through clenched teeth. 

A gentle wind, a caress filled with sympathy,

Reassurance. 

A kiss of breath when air is gone,

Support. 

Doves flying together, wing by wing,

Calm.

Truth enfolded in warm embraces,

Believing.

Love, at its best flies with the wings of a dove.
