Day of the Dove

Day of the Dove


On days as contemptous as these

The Earth so scorched black smoke emerged

To choke the vine, the grape and leaves

The dregs so barren the barrel bleeds


On days as marred and mired as these

The stench so high winged things shall fly

Higher than cliff, ledge, and trees

To escape said Death and rising seas


Yet upon the Hill the summit seen

A blinding light of sanctity

Where blessed thoughts and blessed things

Expose the vile winds that breath


And the changing of the air so just

From jaded flakes to angeldust

The day the light shone upon a dove

And instantly

Ye love
