oh gentle dove
who mourns all day
can i not whisk
your cares away
with water fresh
and bits of grain
a sturdy box
for when it rains
what saddens you
what grieves you so
in sun and shade
through wind and snow
whisper to me
the secret kept
by doves like you
who mourned and wept
Ode to a Dove (of Peace)
rhymeswithbug 
Oh, so intimate and the whisper to me-really got to me~
I love the lyrical form

I feel the doves are sad right now… they have good reason to be… a wonderfully sad song.
