They Watch

~ ~ ~

By Rowan Finley Published 3 months ago 1 min read

Your forgiveness rises on the morning dove’s wings,

the thought, makes my mind sing.

Opportunity tunes herself to the sound of winding Grace Way.

In the distance, I hear the sound of a lamb bleat.

A stately lion is watching for the rising sun,

the lion is there to protect the lamb, and He knows that the battle has already been won.

    I find it interesting how the lion can be seen as both a source of comfort and something deadly to be feared. Its a unique symbol

    This feels both tender and powerful! Feels like a morning prayer whispered to the sky.

    I love the symbolisms of the dove and the lion. Perfect way to remind us that we're all protected.
