A DOVE DESCENDS


An olive twig falls; I taste its fruit
The tar of life melts from my soul.
A dove sails low; gold lights his head
He parts his beak and holy words pour
that grant me grace to kneel at thrones
where lost gifts well in glory of gems.
The wise, pure bird bears one in shade
Christ sears my mind; no veil hides guilt.
