Down where
The glowing sun illuminates the eastern sky
Lemony daylilies open one more bloom
And the mockingbird's song rings true
Doves fly in to feed, too
Down where
The morn is quiet
Human activity still mostly void
Doves sing their love songs
Away, away they transport
Down where
No crows seem to call warnings
On this quiet morn
The poet wonders about Israel
And the Gaza strip war-torn
Down where
Rockets are fired
And antimissiles aim for their mark
How noisy their days and nights must be
How many miss their part
Down where
Questions go without answers
We have to trust the Divine plan is being fulfilled
The poet knows God still loves mankind
And desires mankind do His will
