Departed Dove
~ Writer's Digest 2015 Poem A Day Challenge - Prompt: Departed ~
Apr 21, 2015
I found her by the door
in still repose.
I lift her gently
no response.
Her tiny head is calm,
her eyes are blank
her wings are tucked.
No beating heart
no breath
still warm.
Departed spark
her perfect shell,
grace in life
grace still.
