Doves Do Cry and They Fly
Yeah
I knew what you
were trying to say
we all did
we who bleed into our quills
we whose fingers are cut
to the bone on strings
trying to find
… the sound
or lips cracked on some device
seeking perfect tone
or a voice
rasping from wear
crying in pain
exulting in joy
what do we call ourselves
The Artist
or do we paint a symbol that
no one
has ever seen before
we are unique
are we not
but Prince will do for you
not the Prince of this
or the Prince of that
Just
Prince
did you want to be loud enough
so the sound would never stop
bright enough
so the light would never go out
you did that
you showed me
that the color of the rain
is
purple
and it falls
from my eyes
