WHEN RAVENS CIRCLE

touched by death

WHEN RAVENS CIRCLE

when ravens circle
 in graveyards dark,
disturbed spirits slip
 from the ground
to wander
shrouded by cold eternity wind,
and,
the living hesitate to enter,
do not wish to share
 the bleak paths
made by those not resting in peace,
each of the living,
wondering
if one of the lost ones
who shamble alone
was a friend,
 an acquaintance,
when he walked the earth
in solid form,
wonder,
 if they failed a friend in passing,
do they owe
 one restless unhappy soul
some debt of honor,
do the black winged ones know
and
could they answer
or do they call
”lost all, lost now”
when ravens circle in graveyards dark...

This is darkly rich and elegant piece of midnight silk--- It goes so many interesting, sorrowful, thoughtful, mysterious places. It inspires me very much.

"it came upon a midnight dreary"

there are many restless souls who were ignored in life...but in their dance of death, they will have debts repaid...until they can really rest in peace.

another very thoughtful and thought provoking write.
