"The little eternal dove had forever
They did not, however"
Reposted from Wattpad
One quiet night, a little lone dove, adorning the mask of a magpie
Played along by the strings of Fate
Went in search for the forbidden gift, with it secrets underly
But with every bringing, only with it is a counterfeit
With each and every search brings more masks
The little dove pushed more and more to the edge
Perplexed, bewildered, the little dove quietly asks
"Why? Was this worth the pledge?"
Only to be answered with the whispering
Of the cold and vast night wind
But its questions answered, with, under the moon, a crystal bleeding
"It's done, it's done, even if the search was unkind."
In its little clutch, the crystal meant to free the dove
Flashed brightly instead, swallowing the pure white bird
Left confused, dazed, the crystal it was now void of
Instead, the dove departed, its goal now accomplished, without a word.
The little dove finally understood the secrets of that night
As the hawks, falcons, and sparrows moved on
Growing, aging, living a life, they all did, albeit
A little eternal dove, whose life doesn't seem to have gone
Their lives, woven by what Fate had brought
The little eternal dove had forever
They did not.
As time moved on, the masks increased
The little eternal dove, who had forever
Its own real face's existence had ceased
Through life it tried to endeavour
But closer to the edge, the little eternal dove drew
Without a sight or meaning of its real face under its masks
It lost sight of what it knew
As it tipped off the edge, the little dove asks
"Why? Was this worth the pledge?"
The loud cooing of its maniacal laughter
As it fell off the edge
Falling, falling thereafter
The little lone, eternal dove had forever
They did not.
"Was this worth the pledge?"
One night, the little dove had unwillingly obtained forever
But everyone else did not, however
Left all alone as this little eternal dove lived on
Its real face, under all its masks, had gone.
To those who may be a bit confused, each chapter is not a continuation of the previous chapter. Every one is a separate poem on its own.
Sorry for any confusion that could have been ensured.
