The Raven In The WildernessA Poem by Himaya KaTake it, and eat!' It's the seed that you've planted Be nourished and live!THE RAVEN IN THE WILDERNESS Called to tell the truth But was brought into a trial It's an oral defamation The prosecutor said The allegation was added Involvement to a cult Then the verdict was read "Guilty beyond reasonable doubt!" The gavel sounded Hands were chained The mob's pointing finger The angry eyes of the judge O what a shame! The officers were ready
Leading the final destiny But before it happened Everything turned to black When eyes were opened Where are the judge and the accusers? Nowhere to be found Everything was silent It was an empty space Locked up to that place But no desire to be free Better to be that way Better to stay away Suddenly a scenario of beauty A flapped from the sky The wind's melody The sand moves gracefully The horizon whistled The sun smiled The stream burst The happy fowl in the air Oh, the raven in the wilderness! The beak cued and said "Rise up!" A full basket of fruits was laid "Take it, and eat!' It's the seed that you've planted Be nourished and live! Hesitant but did eat While taking a bite In mind was a question "What's next after this?" Inside the heart
"Oh no, not again!" Then the raven said "Don't think about it Just rest well first!" Then it flew away Yet it came back Still with sweet fruits Until when would it last? A question was asked "Not yours to find out Just sit down and relax! You need to be ready To take another journey There's no need to worry I'm with you all the way."
