White Dove

Above... rain and thunder starts to upset the stomach of a now souring sky it prepares itself to release a few tears upon those seeking truth for their lies in the distance a white dove cries. thunder strikes up a conversation clapping rudely, during the rains flawless audition i stand amid not to be judged but to be cleansed by my own remission. to fear, means knowing how to love? in the distance it cries the white dove. Those who seek out these healing waters peace, they shall find but the lost refuse to drink and prefer to gargle from the man-made pool of illusion and lies sadly, they never learn to fear in the distance quietly, the white dove cries.
