Shine Bright Raven

The coincidence
Was startling
To find a kindred soul
Never a connection too old
As a new one to be sensed
And a raven sung at twilight

spinning my yarn
do you relate to my tale
this kindred connection worn
under the broadleaf trees’ veil

So alas the thunderous beats
Grow stronger deep within
As drumming echoes in my soul
No more playful childhood games
My adulthood now grows.

Those starlit nights
Under the coconuts
All my hopes were thwarted
By your cool looks, shine bright in lights.
