Raven
Poe wrote his story of a raven in his lore
“And his eyes have all the seeming of a demon's that is dreaming,
And the lamp-light o'er him streaming throws his shadow on the floor;
And my soul from out that shadow that lies floating on the floor
Shall be lifted - nevermore!”
But raven is different in any reasonable lore
He is exactly opposite in my metaphor
He brings souls lost in abyss ashore
His lustrous black feathers
Protect from evil spirit’s vile weathers
For the lost spirit they are trail blazers
As the smartest of all birds he has the knowledge of elders
Raven is black as coal
But it is he who carries the soul
Past the grave to heavenly realm where that soul
Divine will console
The raven once carried sun
From the land of spirits to our realm where horizon it brighten
Sun has always been a beacon
And it is sun that is the start of all Earthly creation
Raven brought moon as well
And despite moon’s deep reflective thought it is not from hell
Moon is where ancients will dwell
It is important and casts mesmerizing mysterious spell
The star of universe will be brought by raven’s hand
The power of the star is magnificent and grand
Joined with heron’s egg as generator will stand
That will give energy to mathematical nirvana felt throughout the land
The ravens’ intelligence appropriate is
To bring the star from depths of abyss
The knowledge and imagination powered by this
Will unveil mathematical theory of everything in divine bliss
