CrowA Poem by PerditionHear the sun, young child as it pours on the backs of the buffalo, Hear their hooves drumming, my blood stirring inside the sky. Believe that I was here when first eternal light was lit. When dark burned into night beneath the stars. Hear the sound, young child, rising to earth and war, rising that we might give our lives to understand. Hear the end and its gentle roar, see what death has turned away, plowing glades to bring our hunters home. Embrace it all. Ride the southern wind that tends our seas. Hear your call and break from small desires for all will come with my return to hover over spring, winged with the nesting summer. Share your voice. Mark the day's mortality not by shadows, nor for need in heaven's angelic eternity, but of greater will and mark to journey well, beyond the feather's sting of crow, Beyond the count that comes with wave and tide, Be of strength to courage when journey's mark scribes to stone, Be the guiding cross when all but faith in flight has turned to cold. © 2018 PerditionAuthor's Note
