I think it's about losing someone you love due to death. The dove comes to take away the ones we love. It tells us that if we're faithless, that makes losing someone SO much harder to deal with. But when we "wake up" our heart break is gone because now we know they're in a better place with God. The hard times after a loss is the shipwreck but they're gone when we have a faith.

I've stood alone on the last shore where putting hand under black skies"

should be:

"I've stood along on the last shore with burning hand under black skies"
