Black Doves
I’ve wandered around my life a lot lately
Awkwardly and in a lost fashion
Until I came out of my own daydream
And found a forest; a bridge that was made with passion.
I walked across and my direction was now straight
The forest breathing quietly
Then suddenly, something bold and great
Rushed past me, but ever so silently.
The figure was black and long
Yet it had the wings of the most gorgeous dove
Through its teeth, it sung a song
Mostly people probably would have loved.
I turned around to look at it
And it ran away quickly on its hunches
But it stopped and the black figure opened its eye, a slit
Multiple other figures came by the bunches.
I looked around, breathing erratic
They came in and closed around me
I clutched my chest, my heart sporadic
When they came close and whispered, “you are who you are meant to be.”
I woke up, sweat pouring from my temple
Then I realized it was just a dream.
I realized then that the dream I had was special.
I don’t know what it quite meant, but one day I’ll see.
