"Mourning Doves"

"Mourning Doves" by Teresa F.

Melancholy tones
Eerily echo
Into shaded horizon
Of sun setting sky
Sorrow blue song
Serenades lonely soul
Into distance shadows
Turning cool twilight
Before stately silhouettes
Shatter evening stillness
Bursting forth
Airborn
With flash of white edge wings
Racing to embrace the night
Mourning doves
Presence of ghostly grace
As you fly away
Leave me
The quiet dignity
Within your spirit
