PEACEFUL FLIES THE SNOW WHITE DOVE

PEACEFUL FLIES THE SNOW WHITE DOVE

We have set the world on fire,
Scorching the earth with the blaze of our love.

We have set the eagles free,
And peaceful flies the snow white dove.

As smoke it billows from the canyon,
Burning up the mountain pass.

Mother Nature upside down
In slow retreat and fading fast.

The earth awakens to our beauty,
Pays allegiance to our charms,
And spends the day in excited haze,
Enveloped in our loving arms.

We have climbed the summit steep
And wrestled with the thorns and weeds.

The convoluted vines and twigs,
The jagged stones, the scattered seeds.

Love has been a hillside green,
A landscape fair of clouds serene.

And love has been an order tall, a drowning, crushing waterfall.
Love is this and so much more, a muted scream, a jamming door.

A smile that echoes far and wide, across a grateful countryside

We have set the world on fire,
Scorching the earth with the blaze of our love.

The eagle soars above us free
And peaceful flies the snow white dove.
