By Annie Catherine


You come and go

Like friends and the snow


I pass the veil of a golden hill

And feel you all around still


You are an everlasting spring

So why has Father clipped your wing?

My dove, you are the song I will always sing


You are wild and free!

My love, you are my little dove


I will live this day for us both

As is the sea spread out far

Has it made for you the most?


Now comes the season

That you leave me the loneliest reason


Your soft feathers I endlessly yearn

As you are free, you cannot belong only to me

If not lost, my dove you always return


As I cannot yet soar the Great Blue

My midnight prayer, she sails to you

Love, I do search for you in my sky

My little dove, when did you learn how to fly?
