DOVES

He came in smallness,

Gentle and sensitive,

To be this sacrifice -

The turtle-dove.

And as a dove

Finding rest for the sole of its feet,

The Holy Spirit

Had descended upon Him.

He sees His Bride

In her uniqueness -

His undefiled,

His dove.

And sends His own

Amid the world’s wolves

To be sensitive and gentle,

Guileless as doves.
