~ Like a Raven

 

 

She isn’t afraid of what will come

In darker realms of pain in life

She spreads her black inked wings

To fly into savoury skies

 

Her visions cannot stop

For her mind so often wants

As she knows how to sing her hymn

From frozen chest, into warm lands

 

 

~ Elisa Laura

Ah yes... I dive right back in and I am greeted with greatness once more! Two stanzas, like the two wings of the raven. Short, sharp words, like those eyes that can see so clearly far into the horizon... These inked wings will spread words to foreign regions of the world. Words to bring hope in a time of pain. Unable to rest, still, as the raven must travel even further... the hymn is not done, and more ravens must answer her call...

Another great one Elisa, thanks for sharing! :)

Yes! good that you saw two stanzas as two wings ;-) I enjoy your take on my work, very precisely! thank you so much!

I enjoyed this very much and liked 'inked' in the line with 'black inked wings', I like the photo it adds to it

Thank you so much :D

The raven takes a new look. Very different from my take, you're right my friend....we have opposite sides of the coins here. Nicely pen'd as always Eli.

And that is so funny about a Raven. It can be a dark or a good Raven, often painted too dark, but they could work together with wolves too, it is an interesting bird :) thank you love xx

Beautiful poem. The music reminds me that of "The Dead can Dance". Having a kind of "connection" to Norse mythology, I have come to revere the raven as a caster of shadows, where death and the lessons from legends are born and brought to life. I consider this poem, selfishly, to be a beautiful tribute to not only that of what may have been your muse for writing this piece, but also to that of Huginn and Muninn!! I wish I could implant part of me to be with you on here for days, whilst still performing the regular task of work and sleep. : ) Beautiful Elisa. xoxo -Mark

Thank you for your review and beautiful thoughts Mark, very happy you enjoyed this piece :)

Like the enchanting woman
Finds a place that is warm and free
No matter the weather
No matter mankind ..

This piece floats softly on a wanderer's wing. So happy I came along for the ride.

Very deep and wonderful.

Thank you so much Jack, I'm happy for you liked my write, for I'm an outsider, in the English language.... glad to have you by!

I have always loved ravens... many think they represent death where as I believe they are watchers over the down and out guiding them to a better place... love the uplifting spirit of the poem.

Thanks for the review.

To persevere through obstacles (dark times) is a testimony to ones character. In the Native American Indian Lore, the Raven is symbolic for change or transformation...birds in general are of hopes and dreams. This to me, is of strength and courage. This is a beautiful write, truly inspirational!

Robbie love, thank you so much for your wisdom, and wonderful words. It's so good to be back and read your reviews! you're the best~ ♥
