• I saw a dove today, a humble shade of grey.
    It sat on a wire with four others of its kind.
    Although they all sat together, it sat further away
    As if they were free, and it were caught in a bind.

    The lonesome dove left the pairs to their seat
    As it went home to its cold and empty nest.
    Hopefully a nice white dove it would meet
    So it could pair alongside the rest.

    I left the birds to their own lives
    As I walk back to my lonely home.
    A thought into my idle mind did dive,
    What if, like the dove, I am meant to be alone?
