Her delicate hand holds a snow white dove Captive and yet still free As her grip is as light as the air he breathes Flying over his sparkling seas
By her lovely side he sits for hours on end Never moving a single feather Happily content to be held in her delicate hand Through even the stormiest weather
One could easily ask how such a wild creature In captivity, could be so at ease With wings that could take him to places unknown On the simplest touch of a breeze
Perhaps his contentment lies in the knowledge That he is always free to fly away Knowing that the delicate hand that holds him captive Will continue to love him anyway
