Christopher Thor Britt Poet Couplet

Two Ravens In the Night

O’er the waters of time, with attention quickly drawn,
I, Thought, soar through the heavens with Memory at my side.

By thorn and thicket, we have passed. At times we've struggled through,
as all around us tears and shreds, and yet... time we abide.

Travel we, birds of like feather; black as night and strong as day,
A reflection, one to another; two arrows taking flight.

We chance upon the wind, unyielding as the grave,
Our ballad, sight and sorrow; two ravens in the night.

7/13/2014
(Inspired by Huginn and Muninn, Odin's two ravens)
