Gray dove I see you You fly most graciously Floating in the clouds with the slow wind My toes over the edge Curled up in my shoes Fingers grip the rail White knuckled and tense I glance in your direction Your wings sweep the sky Back and forth You glide with a purpose Sweat drips from my brow Frozen with a moment of time I hear every sound of nature Leaning forward, head tilted down Purr gray dove, come my way Alone and free Flying circles around me Rest when you can I see the water below Crashing against the shore My heart beats rapidly Knees are buckling from the strain You are my friend As I see why you fly Coming my way I start to smile Can not catch my breathe I close my eyes tight Deep in sadness, I wonder No looking back Here you come ending your flight My shoulder is your resting spot Balance completely lost No more grip I begin to fall Quick descent rushes by Eyes wide open Gray dove flies again I hit the water with a thud One last scene as I see you Pushed to my death by the little gray dove

Gray Dove
Gray dove I see you You fly most graciously Floating in the clouds with the slow wind My toes over the edge Curled up in my shoes Fingers grip the rail White knuckled and tense I glance in your direction Your wings sweep the sky Back and forth You glide with a purpose Sweat drips from my brow Frozen with a moment of time I hear every sound of nature Leaning forward, head tilted down Purr gray dove, come my way Alone and free Flying circles around me Rest when you can I see the water below Crashing against the shore My heart beats rapidly Knees are buckling from the strain You are my friend As I see why you fly Coming my way I start to smile Can not catch my breathe I close my eyes tight Deep in sadness, I wonder No looking back Here you come ending your flight My shoulder is your resting spot Balance completely lost No more grip I begin to fall Quick descent rushes by Eyes wide open Gray dove flies again I hit the water with a thud One last scene as I see you Pushed to my death by the little gray dove
