Dove
September 9, 2001

Day to year, same old grind
nothing changes, lost in time

Smell of death, wisp of smoke
passing eyes, lost in hope

Collapse of life, waiting near
growing dark, yet no fear

Fading life, leaves no sound
body dies, spirit's found

Past the dark, shines a light
darkness fades, colors bright

Shadows hide, no more need
sleep no more, shine with glee

In the light, peace untold
life is new, spirit's bold

Joined together, she and I
by the light, almighty high

Life as one, with lifelong dove
her hand in mine, eyes full of love

Wanting nothing, needing less
joy in all, forever blessed
