The Dove : Religious Poetry

written by Poet : saltbg4k


The Dove

 

I could hear the dove calling

soft coos beckoned me

from the pink blossomed branches

of the laden apple tree.

I didn’t want to hear him

and covered my head

concealed in the shadows

neath’ the pillow on my bed.

I tried to keep the dove silent

with his offering of peace.

I wanted to ignore

any promise of release.

In the comfort of the nest

I had once felt at ease.

But, I fell to the ground

with the promise of the breeze.

And still, he sings ever softly

never quitting its’ chant.

Get up …soar with me…

for tho’ you may abandon yourself

God can’t.
