Raven

Ravens ways are in my blood, The gloom of clouds soothes me

Night rests upon me like a hood, I’ll fly where others fear to be

Deep into the heart of darkness, Where like liquid death seeps so deep

It’s not by choice that I must go, I just do what I must to keep (alive)

Cross the abyss

A lone raven sits upon a tree

No movement, She awaits

So graven yet so carefree

Her memory imprinted in me,

The stare of her deep glowing eyes

This mystery has long been thee

burned into me like odd delight

The Raven feels to me like a long lost companion

a de-ja-vu you once knew

I’m ready to fly away with her a reckless abandon

How can it be so comforting

Familiar and up lifting?

My heart sings to be free, I’ll give her everything

leafless tree stretches gently

Twisted branches growing westerly

Silhouetted so intensely

conspiracy of ravens stops to rest

My chest fills with exhilaration

My eyes drink their exaltation

Beauty is love’s liberation

Lone raven now in their midst

as they take flight, she knows what’s right

into the dim night, no hesitation

She spreads her wings, oh fearless girl

So surreal…..

All together they are gone in a whirl

The Raven feels to me like a long lost companion

a de-ja-vu you once knew

I’m ready to fly away with her a reckless abandon

How can it be so comforting

Familiar and up lifting?

My heart sings to be free, I’ll give her everything

Ravens ways are in my blood

The gloom of clouds soothes me

Night rests upon me like a hood

I’ll fly where others fear to be

Deep into the heart of darkness

Where like liquid death seeps so deep

It’s not by choice that must I go

I just do what I must to keep (alive)

The Raven feels to me like a long lost companion

a de-ja-vu you once knew

I’m ready to fly away with her a reckless abandon

How can it be so comforting

Familiar and up lifting?

My heart sings to be free, I’ll give her everything

Oh Raven’s eye guide my thoughts

Through the myriad of cobweb branches

Don’t hesitate a single movement

Or hasten in the journey onwards
