Analysis of ’A Poem of One Syllable - God’s Own Dove



Come to me and feel the peace
Dwell in this space – a place of faith
Give up the need to foil self-love
Life is yours, nigh is the gate.

Caught in a mire of times past
Doubt is fraud … robs the now
Watch for the dream
It may come true
For you are the one – you to you

Turn down the rogue we call rue
It bears more grief … our soul to mourn
Light seeps through the wounds veil
To joy we greet …bliss we hail

On knees bent we exile the home of lies
Hate is death … loss …. pain
Clinching tight to life’s spirit
Mend it’s breath with hope

Hold the light – your soul so true
Loss reigns in hearts of pain
Robs joy…mirth …bliss
Crave no more the path so pure

Laugh out loud
Love with care
Trust with meek sight
Reach out with arms bold

Let your soul rest
Long has been your flight
Oh dear one … God’s own dove

deborah k Bates

My passion is people and assisting them to create the life they want. I do this as an Author – Counsellor – Mentor.A professional writer I write to inspire through the encouragement of viewing life through metaphor, higher perspectives, introspection and the principles of nature.With a goal and purpose – to turn the mundane world upside down and into a magical journey – to negate the annihilating nature of self reproach or self loathing towards feeling whole as a person – to encourage one to dream beyond their wildest dreams to create the life they want to live – to transform mediocrity into magnificent – to find ecstasy and joviality despite the ups and downs.Discover more at http://www.deborahkbates.com Read my blog at http://www.deborahkbates.com/blog more…
