In my dream I beheld thirteen doves
Upon the ground, one larger than the rest
And off to the side sat a lonely pair
Both looking as if for their own nest
It was a calm clear forgettable day
A day like many before seen
The doves went about their lives
In a random group these thirteen
And it would have been uneventful
Had it not been for that strange lonesome pair
Who walked ever so slowly into the group
And at once, they all took to the air
Moving with such grace straight toward Heaven
What started out as an inconspicuous thirteen
Now became the most beautiful sight in the sky
As they flew together these, now fifteen

WOW, and where they the gatherers?  Did they escort all the rest to heaven?  Boy, have you started some heavy thinking!  I love this.  ME
