Exceptional NaPoRhyMo Contest Entry #17 Everyday Miracles : Psalm 56 by DeboraDyess

I saw a dove on distant oak as nighttime failed and morn' awoke, I thought, ' "I't s perfect, like God loves.' On distant oak, I saw adove.   They sang the sweetest melody of flying high and soaring free... Throughout the neighborhood it rang. The sweetest melody, they sang.   With joy, I sang along with them, a mix of old and brand-new hymns. the force of darkness, to destroy. I sang along with them, with jooy.     Author Notes While this poem has little to do with Psalm 56, I thought I should give credit where credit is due. That paalm was written 'to the tune of A Dove on Distant Oak. I have no idea whatsoever how that tune went or if anyone alive knows it but I was taken with that title and knew I had to use it in a poem. This is a swap quatrain, where the phrasing of the first line is swapped for the last line. It's probably my favorite form to write, although I'm trying to mix it up a bit so I odn't bore you to tears! Thanks for reading!
