Mourning Dove A Poem by Gerard Derminasyan Morning Dove It was Christmas Eve , I wanted to believe , In snow angels , So I took a walk In the moonlight With snowflakes Sparkling in the night In the forest At midnight I lost myself In the white mist 1

Of my breath And laid down To be covered By the winter's Blanket of ice Then I opened my eyes And saw a white dove Flickering her wings , Dancing with the snowflakes Glittering in the moonlight What is your name I asked with astonishing eyes , To bring you here at midnight Or are you the angel of the night Pureness , She said , my name is Pureness As she stretched her wings To embrace me with her love And as light as a feather touch We danced in each other's arms Among the snowflakes Of the night Until the dawn of light As she flew away And became The morning dove by Gerard Derminasyan 2
