A Dove At The Union Station Poem by Rose Marie Juan-austin

A Dove At The Union Station

Rating: 4.7


Amidst a maze of people
And suit cases
In different hues and sizes
I saw a beautiful dove
With long pointed tail
And plump body
Feathered with black
And bordered with white
So innocent and care free.

Among the crowd
Someone threw a crumb of bread
And a piece of tiny cracker
The dove flapped its wings
But it did not fly
Instead it walked
Towards the bread crumb and cracker
Only to be trapped
By two big hands like iron.

It is very sad how in certain places birds lose freedom. They feed not to care but to serve as bait for their selfish motives. This is an eye-opener poem.Thank yiu for sharing.

Well this poem is very philosophical and transports me into the world of humanity that are we human beings so cruel we can not see simplicity and innocence in anything. We are complicating everything......very well crafted 10++
