Dove

Not every bird
Has to be a peacock
Or a parrot

Not every bird
Has to be a kingfisher

Or hummingbird or
Rainbow lorikeet

There is something grand
About a quiet beauty
The plumage of
A different sort

Do not be ashamed
To be a whisper
In a sea full of arctic noise

Do not be ashamed
You are beautiful.
You carry peace with you
Everywhere you go
