Call of the Dove - one my fav self-composed poems :)
i. When you close your eyes,
do you hear
the call of the Dove?
The call of Love,
of Joy;
the giggle of that young boy
playing hopscotch on the roads?
ii. Do you hear
the affectionate tear
of your grandma, when you scraped your knee,
and the wind rushing,
laughter gushing,
as you flew on your father’s shoulders?
iii. Do you hear
the whistling of that bustling train,
the dressing-down for a ketchup stain,
the fascinating buzz of the airplane,
that reminds you of those days
when you felt no pain?
iv. Do you hear Peace?
v. The call of the Dove
that soft melody,
the reminiscence of a childhood;
a soulful elegy.
vi. The cynics mock
the Dove; they flock
around, they don’t believe in Love,
but the True believers must shove
them aside.
vii. For the world will be free
when the world will see
that Peace is Love,
Peace is Hope,
Peace is Childhood,
Peace is Innocence.
viii. We don’t need Peace,
for how do you long for something
that is already there?
You just don’t know where
to look for it.
ix. Look back,
look inside,
find the child in your heart,
your Home,
for that is where your Peace resides.
x. Look back,
look inside,
listen for the call of the Dove,
hold on to that infant Love,
remember that Peace is not lost.
xi. There will be moments,
when your spirit will be weak,
the prospect of Peace bleak.
In moments like those,
when the call of the Dove is faint,
remember: reach into your heart so quaint;
it is the tiniest thread of Hope you seek.
xii. Close your eyes,
hear the call of the Dove.
The call of Love,
of Joy;
the giggle of that young boy.
That is Peace for you.
