Doves from God

The storm swept in
(like my hair sometimes does on my face)
Casting it's heavy veil
Creating it's curtain...
and I stood underneath the clouds 
and all the wide noise
beneath the sheer
of the dark night...
Silently,
I make my prayers
to GOD...
question his answers...
and as I raise my eyes
to cast my silent voice
into ascension,
they are met by a flock
of white doves
contrasting the black of the 
sky...
And I hear the silent voice
of GOD'S reply.

  1. I really like your poetry. The imagery it creates in my mind is very strong, very reminiscent of poetry written by individuals such as Claude McKay, a Jamaican poet and master during the Harlem Renaissance.
