Dedicated to all those who have
                        yet to find their FIRST LOVE 

Elusive dove on wing you soar
Never to enter my heart's door. 

Seek I
            the secret amulet baits
To coax you in as my heart waits.

Hoped I
            you'd come to wisdom's age
Foiled as you perched on youth's guild cage. 

Thought I
            perhaps being a man of means
Could somehow intertwine our dreams.

Wished I
            these dreams would kindle fire
But dove just soared a little higher. 

Prayed I
            to the Spirit from above
"Grant to me at least one dove."

Planned I
            success within His word
But I was sent a different bird.

ELUSIVE DOVE my heart will wait
Perched here alone if that be my fate.
