A Raven

In the bedroom alone feeling sorrow for a loved lost soul
Searching the room with remembered tears
Wondering if she will ever reappear
Dark magic full of fear
In the night sky clouded from the stars with no Moon and the Sun yet to come
There is a baby boy young inside waiting for love to be done
Wrapped in hides of warm animals killed
Given a path to bring back health
Freeing men from coercion and allowing women to fly
As the fire burns high they dance above
Masking an image without reality
Lacking truth
An illusion by a sorcerer
Steeling the Earth
Thou art now a new birth
Hidden within that baby boy
To return to that almighty joy
Seeing the stars twinkle beyond and a Moon bow to lean on
So that the Sun may scorch the Earth with hope
That on that day she changed from a bird to a boy for all to see
Sitting in their window like a toy
Caring over us with wings spreading across virtue
Protecting attack
True in her place and where she is going, yet
Not sure when another worm will lure her out
Gone for a while
Facing society in a race
Wanting to slow down
Watching a distant family hold their crown
Then finally flying away, way up into the light
Everyday we should pray for living
Safe by feathers
Together is more
Looking deep for lift-off with that one…and sore
Elevated above the gifts given to live
Is the love of a bird who saved the Sun, the Moon, and the Stars
For me it's all I can do to cherish this heaven
Tell stories to my young children
Watch my Raven fly
So that when they awake with string and beads
I can make the dream to catch all their bees
In the bedroom alone spreading love to the sorrow found souls

This beautiful piece of narrative poetry, touches me deeply. It's so terribly clever that you choose the raven as a metaphor. And this story greatly superstructured. I felt the urge for a future, a family, and love. Beautifully described, perfect choice of words. I was even emotionally, sucked in beauty, I want to read more from you! each time it is such a flight, a journey through words of elegance!!! Masterpiece written by a mastermind!!!
