Ode to the White Raven

Custodians of ancient wisdom Omens on wings of white Symbols of transformation Graceful watchers in flight Harboring all the secrets the creative and destruction Protectors of the buffalo Warning of the hunters Beauty in white feathers Mutation of genetics Messengers of Apollo Hauntingly prophetic It's said that when you see one "We'll know humanity as a whole is shifting towards one of peace" The white Raven Mother Earths Soul.

thank you, yes, the white raven is very rare. one in 30,000 chance of being born. A beautiful bird. not albino, but a mutation of genetics called leucism. a disruption of melanin, not actually white but cream colored with mainly blue eyes. White raven is more romantic a name they say lol thank you for your wonderful comment
