A Caw from the Blue

The caw of the crow,
Once harsh and loud
Filled the skies when they
Gathered in a crowd.

For fifty years
Their voices not heard
Untill one lone caw
Returned out of the blue.

It's sounds once grating, 
Now sweet and dear,
A melody of memories
I hold dear.

He flew away cawing.
Then I pondered,
"Where he lives,
from where he came."
