Poem
Among The Dead Raven's Verse Long ago in far off days Where here lived creatures long dead And went more gentle and good Upon this fair Earth led Ravens flew and understood E'en spoke the words of man When His blessings were on him right Now they will not –but they can And must with the coming night To bring sunrise to another day Come here and sit near Silence keep first So I may give a little and share Raven's verse Listen with care To the message for you there Of her kind and their calling Now as they fall from their skies Around her whisper the souls of the fallen And demand a re-opening of eyes Collection of a debt Communion with the wise A new promise to be kept Raven stood “Grace!” said she “And God be with you all we say For e'en now we see And know each man must find his way To another way to be My powers inform spells Of a vision—a voice dream My miracles effective tells Powers that bring to life – I seem To re-create the faintest echo well--- There is no breathe in them Spoken into a void words Hearts there is no death o them In the Language Of The Birds LISTEN! Howling like wolves Born of that wild marriage Wandering witches Like demons of the sand Chant The Wandering Witches Song You were coming This we knew Whispered to us by the breeze Streams from mountains Told us too Long before you reached the trees Yet how could we see The soul o you Red with blood And black with hate Or would we welcome if we knew The fear with which You approached our gate Or smile to face The eyes that hid An anger nothing could abate? The die was cast By the hour we did We were possessed It was too late We saw the sword Turn in your hand We saw and knew You were afraid Of all you could not understand So with our love To you we made The vow to which Our strength was forfeit By our promise to forget The winds that whispered in us stilled And those who did not pledge You killed We've come along With you at head To protect your reason from the moon Our power to reflect your dread Your knowledge racing to the tomb Yet all was growth Beyond your sight For we are Masters of the Womb We own the Spirit, Earth, and Night And all that moves beneath the Seas But know our time approaches light For now you even threaten these!
