Dove of Peace


From a room inside your mind

Never mind the lack of room

As the room you hope to find

On the inside of your head.


Because outside that vital place

Is without you, no longer vital

Because within yourself is grace

And outwardly your wings to spread.


Misunderstood so lately

And often only by yourself

But to others matters greatly

Through your justness dearly held.


You put your trust in others

And they only let you down

But you rode the lonely buffers

Without a grimace or a frown.


And you stand before the world

Knowing your true self post-defame

And you tamed the downward spiral, swirl

Understood your self and name.


Callum – dove of peace

Peaceful dove that hopes to give

Enough at least to teach

How understanding helps us live.
