Jeanne Mcgee Poet Etheree

Raven's Hold

Down,, down, down into the darkness of the grave
Gently they go;  the beautiful, the tender, the kind
                                        Edna St, Vincent Millay


                     Ravens' Hold

Dark
Welcomes
Angels light
Guide Innocents
Beauty silhouettes
Fragile essence of heart 
Cradled upon cushioned walls
Life held reminisce without bonds
Descend cloaked in ravens’ onyx mask
Ardent wings fly the blameless away home

Jeanne Mcgee May 22, 2020 at 2:19 PM Hello Michelle...I had to challenge myself to take one of the quotes that I would normally pass over and delve into it. I appreciate you stopping by for a read and making comments...always welcome when you step out of your comfort zone.

Vijay Pandit May 21, 2020 at 7:49 AM Well done, Jeanne--dark as death..Descend cloaked in ravens’ onyx mask..so well depicted! Jeanne Mcgee May 21, 2020 at 8:16 AM I had to rework that line several times until I had it right...thanks for your comments.
