THREE DOVES ON THE ROOFTOP
Three doves on the rooftop.
Cooing - facing east.
Gazing at the sunrise.
Tasting the raindrops.
For the very first time.
Watching the clouds.
Three doves on the rooftop.
Now facing west.
Gazing at the sunset.
Wondering what to do.
Stay on the roof tiles?
Hide under the bushes?
Or answer the call of the desert.
A dust bath beckons.
Something says stay -- Something says go!
Three doves on the rooftop,
What will they do?
They watch the sun,
And continue to coo.
