The Memory of the Words of Doves by Linda Imbler

The Memory of the Words of Doves

Kind words leave no scars.

Instead, they leave caresses on

the memory of the words of doves,

beautiful feathers sent by friends,

soft as a bed of creamy blossoms.

We all remember what happened years ago.

The easy way some people spoke to us,

and kept their oaths.

Yesterdays,

when every dove lent their voices

to the glory of the world,

and tenderness and peace brought beauty.

So, for today, I wish you peace.
