The Snake And Dove Entwine Poem by Marcia Schechinger

The Snake And Dove Entwine

Rating: 5.0


Behind a metal lamppost
a golden sunset shines
Lost in seaweed curtains
streaked with blue tint skies

There's a man in shadow
who plays a saxophone
Weaving such sweet music
under a fiery dome

Passersby do linger
lovers grasp their hands
Moonlight weaves and circles
the devil kneels and stands

His music is a sequence
of his very life
God is his circumference
the snake and dove entwine

COMMENTS OF THE POEM
