Two Black Crows

Two crows in a pine Hear those Two black crows in the pine? They’re sinister darkling Those two raucous black crows in the pine --------------------------------------------------- All’s not bad nor winterset Sometimes I think the mind’s to blame Set against by follies and Tortures inflicted on others Known at the time as returnable sins I sent a sin gathering wool of blackest velvet And it circled my head Like a crow Innocent And soft But bodied with dark intent

Interesting way you've arrived at the truth Daver in this write. Smile! I would concur, the mind is to blame, also what we send around will surely come back around for a revisit. Also as Carolyn said; but mind's nature will surely try to blame it all on the crows.Ha! Per your comment; you got it "Love(God)" the untimate Source. Sincerely, Moses

The "tortures inflicted on others" will surely come back to haunt us, Daver. But, given man's nature, he's most likely going to blame it on the crows. Very insightful in you chilling, provocative style! Love, Carolyn
