¶Lyrics / Text

Pigeons, to me, were always signs of hope: even the whirl of wings against the air would right me, show me once again the scope of who I was and whose I was and where; as when, in one deep shock of vertigo I saw the city lie beneath my ledge as flocks of pigeons played a mile below and kept my feet from straying near the edge; as blinking blinding water from my eyes I rose again to reach the air above and from the sundered sky, to my surprise there flew from heights uncountable a dove; as here, a final time, I watch them fly and heal my hope as I am lifted high.
