Splendorous Dove

 

Shield the soul from the atrocious enemy 

Offenses that make the Only Light - leave 

From escalating wasteful, improvident unease

Thrust open the gates to this Holy Breeze!

 

The urgent whispers, sobering cues flowing 

Paving the path to the flame of knowing 

Joined with the flame of the heart's indemnity

Life-sustaining inner workings of sanctity.

 

Creative, inter-connected, dynamic Gifts -

The most solid body of perennial bliss

Tearing down despairing, world-weary abyss

The wind of renewal, the pulse of promise not to dismiss!

 

Preserved and revived by the Breath of Heaven

The Wind of Holiness, the Dove descending

The heart unbarred, the light of giving 

The crown of kindness, gentleness receiving.

 

Firm shield and shelter from tyrannical drive

Planted, cultivated and pruned Trees of Life

Through the echo of purity, majestic Dove

Yielding fruits plenteously in the beatific grove.

 

Fade into silence - offenses that grieve the Holy Ghost

The insides be purified, of the lesson of Calvary boast

For the snug nesting, rapturous resting of the Purest Dove

In the safest refuge of the all-healing Trinitarian Love.

 

In the ruins of worldly desire

Dormant sensibility

Depraved conscience

"Be salted with fire!"

Doc, you are a poet & writer who doesn't waste word or line! Truly a master at presenting a lot of helpful insights in a condensed form. Full of spiritual substance verse. Having the Holy Ghost in our souls is our life which can be lost through serious sins. Holy Spirit gives us life, sanctifies us & using the gifts of the Spirit is making one pleasing to God. And, the climactic ending & invitation of Christ to be salted with fire should be a mantra for any serious Christian. Powerful messages. Doc, each of your poems is like reading a condensed book! That's truly a gift from God!
