Timeless Dove
Before me falls everything,
As tho mountains were fixed,
They too fell before the king,
And there singing of holy grace
My heart lay still; truly unmixed,
Of deep displeasure; truly in place,
As whispers I hear; "time is love",
Never will time lay affixed,
So let us love this timeless dove
