A Dove

The capture of sweet joy wrapped in airy mystery as roaring torrents divide creating pockets of freedom beneath white stretched wings that slice into upward spirals of warm air rising from sun baked soil brown heat sinks. Tragic wind shear folding rivers of air into turbulent tumbles of tossing spinning and collapse   in lucid streams of timeless pause as violent twists steal my lift drawing me down  through branched  wooden arms that fail to catch. I rest at last  in the stillness of fear and pain. Waiting. I am lifted by tender bent hands shaking with age that cup my cool form  and cradle my fear in caressing warmth. The joy of sadness drawn upon her face as she sees the truth in broken wings we share. I know that she knows I will go first.
