The sharp pitch of raven’s cry Penetrates my heart. The far-off cry ringing silently in my ears Sounding in harsh painful slaps. - The mournful cry of lost love Echoing through the peaks. The silent lilt of dreadful agony Drives tears into the heart. - Wrath’s cold note clutching at my fears Finding depth within. … Continue reading The Solitary Raven

Restful Nature
Back against the damp, dark earth, A lonely lovely rest. A heart once filled with merry mirth Now sent to nature’s best. - Eye cast on the sky above, A deep blue ocean wide.

Round
Round and round a merry-go-round, of Life and Love and Pain. once you've seen all there is to be seen, you see it all again. Up and down on the merry-go-round, on steeds of mystery. some go fast and some go slow, but all run out eventually. I look up from this merry-go-round of "Do … Continue reading Round
