I was used as a messenger,

Long long ago, centuries flew past me

St Davids had a close anent with me

Then was I known as the symbol of serenity and ardour

I was Inanna-Ishtar’s prominent animal symbol,

Represented her, the goddess of love and war

At times she took my form and flew with me

I was sacred to the Greek goddess Aphrodite,

In my league were Venus and Fortuna

I came back as the founder of land to Noah

Carrying a small branch from an olive tree

But now wherever I fly and wherever I go

I spread the pureness of my white feathers

And the sun reflects my wet feathers

Making them shine like a rainbow,

For I am the true treasure found at the end of the rainbow,

My resting place where the symbol of peace is found.
