Raven
("Raven With Big Heart Nebula", 2018, original encaustic)
Raven
Raven with his cloak of feathers
Shimmers in the noon day Sun
Calling, laughing, hopping, dancing
Plays with light in joy for fun
Teach us now for we have fallen
Far from grace that comes with dawn
As the night quickly approaches
Lead us on the path you’ve drawn
Calling, laughing, hopping, dancing
Raven leaves us where we are
Silly child who grasps a rainbow
Light refracting from a star
So it goes in endless cycles
Step by step we trudge along
While Sun and Earth dance as partners
Only Raven knows the song
