mourning dove
send me your love
bring me peace
sprouted from a seed

roots twirl all around
fill me up with the sound
reverberate the rocks
through the cracks and aftershocks
lift me up from the ground

keep me warm
sheltered from the storm
wrap me up
tight like a glove

in a cozy quilt
made with the strength of spiders' silk
that engulfs all my body
while soft patterns camouflage me
and none of the flowers can wilt

mourning dove, cooing from above
safe in the trees, won't you send your love to me
