Throughout the years I’ve found that my heaviest moods can be lifted, at least for a time, by the lightest of songs from these shrewd, dark birds.

raven song

small black stones drop
through clear blue silence
and splash ever so lightly
in still water thoughts

ripples expand concentric
rebounding from the edge of mind
sliding back beneath eccentric
rings that wimple shards of light

                        and fade
