I was a Dove.

I once was a dove.
Adorned with white wings.
Crowned by nature’s glory.

My master gave me a message.
But my feeble attempt at delivery failed.
The vast world drew me.
Heaven lost me.

Far from His voice.
I fell from the day’s light
Into the depths of darkness.

Darkness coated my wings in black -
A burden too heavy to bear.

In confusion and conviction
I searched for cover
To wait out the night.
But morning failed to awaken.

Only one thing saved me.

Grace lit a fire and
led me back home.
