Rant and Raven

Pitch black raven in the sky Hovering in the world so high Can you tell me how you fly Will you feast on me when I die Dark smooth feathers Dreadful beak Majestic guardian on the deep I love to listen to you speak When I watch you eat decay Makes me wonder what its like To be a watcher of the night I hear your voice echo through the night Watch you take another flight Puts a chill through my bones When I hear the musical tones How I wish we could trade places My voice could be heard in the deepest spaces

Kind of morose but then I guess that is to be expected of a raven who watches by night. Well written and smooth on the tongue but sad in the heart.
