Tears of a Raven
She left the “unkindness”, descended upon a mossy knoll
Over looking the darkness of the moonless, misty graveyard
The ebony clouds shielding the glistening tears of the Raven
Tears of LOVE for those that, waiting : Sing at the gates of Heaven
Tears of Sorrow for those, unbelievers, who will spend Eternity in Hell
Do not show me the face of despair, the tears of forever unknown :
Her tears roll down the contours of her cheeks falling to the Ground
Creating the Zenith of an Everlasting ROSE never to be seen
As Roses grow where Her tears splashed upon the wanting Earth
She spreads her wings and returns to the “Congress” from wince She came
Darker and Lighter than the rest of the “death flock” soaring ABOVE
