Days of the darkened dove
But as we begin
to break down
and burn
we will wistfully
watch and learn
that in this lifeline
you’ll have to
be a
dismally
darkened dove .
Left to let go
of the one
thing you’ve
ever loved .
As you raise
your weakly
whitened
wings to fly
into the
numbing unknown
nature of
the nurturing
night sky.

Days of the Darkened Dove
Hello, Hayden,
"...numbing unknown nature of the nurturing night sky." Your language is very elegant. Beautiful poetry.

Thank you
The meaning is in life there will come a time where you would have to learn to let go . Because in life you don’t know when it will end so better cherish the moments you have and be glad that you got to experience those moments before you faded away.

Excellent again
This might be my favorite poem. I just adored every word my friend. I’m going to come back to this one for perspective from time to time. What an amazing and deep thought provoking masterpiece. It’s lyrical in nature.
