The Pale Dove

poem by: Clinton Strong
Written on Jan 18, 2016

On days before,
the blood rained down. 

Foretold decrees, 
had finally run aground.

With blackened wings,
on an endless night,
the pale dove took flight.

On days before,
the flood came down.

Untold degrees,
walked across the ground.

With memories held,
inside blinded sight,
we sailed into the night.
