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
