As streak of evening wanes on treetops I flit away to guard man’s dwellings; My calm eyes watching a hollowed time Evanescing gradually into the night: White- feathered tip carries an olive branch Sprinkled with dew of hope, of repose While petals drop their silhouettes Against the hours’ afterglow. This mystic presence stirs me high, Like a Holy Spirit’s godly behest When nothing but the grace of calm Descends through heaven’s nest… Till my wings glimmer to imbue light Enshrining man inner peace and sway, As dawn greets my evensong To celebrate a new day, ever reborn.

Majestically penned! The dove seems to be a semblance of the Holy Spirit who enlightens us through His graces. The mention of "the olive branch" was a very subtle, powerful metaphor!
