Maykylee and the Dove

her hazel eyes
her scanning gaze
and a sudden glimpse
then a desire; almost a need
to hold that nestled mourning dove
unmoving, at her steady approach
her body, closer... closer... and closer...
her clear curiosity
her reaching arm, inches away
then at her brushing fingertips
a flying dove, in the air
a following, frustrated "urrggh!"
her dramatic fall onto the grass
her searching eyes upon the sky
but then, a smile
and a laugh
"so close.... but yet so far"
