As a pure white dove unfurls his wings Inviting the warmth of the new son He soars above the brilliance of the daffodills Spreading news of the hope reborn Beyond the shadows of doubt The days become long He watches a string of purple wysteria Readily sacrifice it's pearls He finds his soul mate sitting in the shade Of the steadfast mountain laurel The red and yellow roses become windswept Tossing their colors to the trees The leaves become painted In sweet surrrender The willows weep and bow to their knees His roost is exposed Limb from limb desperately he clings The harvest moon will prove his plight As he waits for the summoning Patience tests the pure white dove He feared he would begin to blend in As the fairwell kisses fell from the sky His master bid him a graceful good-bye And sent him to south To stand out Against greener grass |

Thank you everyone so much. I was attempting to paint *Christ's birth..No doubt our days will still be hard and long...but even nobility will give up their worldly things ..hence purple..laurel meaning faith and glory and honor...surrendering of our hearts and becomming humble before him...exposing our faith and clinging to it.. the harvest of what we sow as we wait the second coming. And if we start to blend in with the world God will step in and help us find one another. Even if it requires standing out and being strong. Thanks for all your wonderful praises and encouragement. Sincerely, Rwood |
