Poem: Tale of a Dove

The Tale of a Dove

Her shell hatched and she was free, and with purity she looked for those in need,

She stumbled upon a man filled with grief, she asked, "Tell me you pain, so I can make it only brief,"

The man responded saying, "I am hated by everyone." The dove said back, "Don't worry they will always love you and everyone,"

The man looked up with a new sense of hope and pride, and proclaimed that he would never again be tossed to the side,

Satisfied with her work she moved on, and found a woman staring at the ocean as if looking for a new fish spawn,

She said, "Will I forever be alone?" The dove whispered, "To answer that you must venture into the unknown,"
The woman looked back up and smiled while saying, "I will try to live up to the love you have shown,"

The dove continued on helping people but looked back one day......

The man stood tall with pride yet became everything that he hated....
And the woman with her big heart opened up yet was betrayed of her love and now stares at the ocean again....,

She did it all out of love,
But now she was no longer a dove,

The pain turned her into a crow,
And with shame hides in the dark below.
