Poem Commentary

I am not really happy with most of the poems I write that rhyme.  However, when I wrote "On The Wings Of a Dove", I fell in Love with it after reading it a couple/few times.  Just the meaning trapped within its realm grabbed me by my eyes and ears as my mind followed...
As one of the featured poems in my future book; I personally have compassion for this poem.
I hope you all can pin this poem on your wall of life as I have and use it when you need it most...

ON THE WINGS OF A DOVE…

ON THE WINGS OF A DOVE…

 

There once lived

This happy soul

And everybody liked him

For his heart was of gold

 

He always sang

And danced with Love

Just an innocent soul

That got pushed with a shove

 

There came these cross-roads

Within his life

As he compared his decisions

Like a sword to a knife

 

Not knowing which exact

Path he should follow

He looked up to the sky

With a lump; could not swallow

 

He spoke of these words

As they rolled off of his lips

For his Love for the Lord

As he blew Him a kiss

 

“I am not happy here—

I know not what to do”

Then God gave him a sign

Watching wings as they flew

 

Flying off in a distance

Behind the clouds--but still clear

Now he had all but one answer

He had Love--without fear

 

He wasn’t quite sure

If his righteousness was valid

So he surrendered his ears

And experienced this ballad—

 

“There once lived—this happy soul

And everybody Loved him—for his heart was of Gold

He always sang—and danced with Love

Just an innocent soul—on the wings of a dove”
