A Message of Peace
“A white dove in your path is not by coincidence. Your awareness of its presence, calmness and beauty is also a gift. You were meant to see this dove to remind you to focus on the peace you have in your heart and that is always present all around you, and in your life"
last night i mourned you
watching memories
unfold around me
until i was mourning
each of you gone from life
i stared at death
touching its cold
still lifeless form
i blew kisses
at your breathless
silent lips
afraid to press
my own against
the frigid cold
and again taste
the bitterness of death
i clasped my hands
and dropped to my knees
in prayers
today you were laid
beneath the frozen ground
as memories crumbled
around me like leaves
my tears clung to the edges
of my sullen eyes
as winter's breath
reminded me
how fragile
we all are
i was saddened
i couldn't be there
but knew my weakness
from so many before
perhaps i couldn't stand
on my own two feet
and watch again
as another was buried
beneath the soil
i went on my way
deep in thoughts
when suddenly
as i was driving along
staring at the depths
of azure skies
silently watching
as the trees
reached for the sun
i felt at peace
i shifted my eyes
staring in disbelief
as a white dove
flew by my windshield
barely clearing it
in perfect view
for me to see
the beauty
of him
through him
at that very moment
i knew he was sent
to bring me peace
and feel the depths
of love still in existence
within the depths
of my heart
