I’d fly on white wings,
one of joy
one of sorrow
balanced
on crosswinds
above
and below
to mate
in mid-flight
with a prayer.

Hi Betty,
This is really lovely. I have heard the word ephemeral used a lot in poetry and I think that is how I see this. (Hope I have got the meaning right!)
It is a very calming poem; I love the image of doves.
Apologies for not commenting over the past few days, I have been to Ireland for a baby grandson’s first birthday!

Congratulations on your grandson’s first birthday! (I’m way behind here also and just trying to get caught up today.)
You’ve been to Ireland? I’d LOVE to go there… my dad’s family came from Ireland, so lots of Irish blood in me veins.
Thanks you for the very kind comment, Christine! 🙂
