Notes About The Poem

  

                          

Spirit of a Dove

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.

Jajosh Ongado February 7, 2017 at 7:45 PM 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!
