Wordle #142: Farewell My Love

New wordle prompt from Brenda at The Sunday Whirl.
Use all, or some, of these words in a poem:
bit, might, behind, spare, caress, sky,
save, expect, pair, struck, scarlet, first



Farewell My Love
At first light,
beneath scarlet skies,
a pair of white-winged
doves flap upwards,
soar in mighty arcs,
spiral to meet
winds that will guide
them safely home.

It is as though the doves were the catalyst for the love the unseen pair have. Having done their job they are now on their way. Great imagery indeed.

Beautiful, Marianne. White doves are the spirits of the dead, or so I have heard. Thanks for your kind words on my blog. I am so sad right now.
