Colors In the Sky

QUOTE BY CHARLES MESSINA "Two doves in white flying, feathers glow beneath the morning's rainbow colors" Shivering among the forest green High above the battle scene The night clouds iridescent glow Cast shadows grey across the snow The sign we waited longed to see Kept hushed in a cage Soon to be free When suddenly at first light Our town's defenders won the fight! And purple skies then pink now orange The mighty sun made enemies cringe When two white doves flew up toward the hills Flashing colors I remember it still! Our boys held on and won the battle Releasing the doves our sign to resettle! 12/07/22
