Not, a turtle dove…
not really all that fluffy, that; though, is their true nature
more of a polished stone
a ship in space or a rounded dome
not really a mystery yet … fantastic in glide and power,
my turtle dove.
………………….
Both, my friends is close –
the turtle & the dove like owl – above -evolutionary aggression,
drifting in great soothing arcs
soaring, almost questioning yet definitely
aloof above all the bustle, direction – not blown or blustered
my turtle dove
…………………..
Both friends of belief and
yet stricken to anonymity by cousins of war
their brothers the snake,
and the hawk; give them the edge they need to win
the strength to strike
the bloodline to stalk and find prey
my turtle dove
