~The Raven Whispers~

With feathers so astoundingly black, they penetrate the darkness Reflecting the moonslight as they flutter soundlessly through the air Alighting upon the ground before me as I sit in silence Our eyes meet The Raven whispers...

The eyes, ever steady, ever strong, blink and continue their gaze upon me I can only sit in awe of such a magnificent creature Curiosity and wonderment spread across my face I can see it reflected in the black obsidians so piercingly close The Raven whispers...

As the silence is never ending, I begin to feel quite relaxed At ease it seems in such a rare and awesome presence my moves seem not to offend nor bother as I reach forth to touch those soft wings of transportation so as to prove, perhaps, that the presence is not a mirage or apparition created of my own mind Ahh~..The reality, the rush of emotion at the moment I can truly feel the smooth, cold, strong softness before me The Raven whispers....

AS if in defiance of the night and the silence, a sound breaks ~CAW~..~TsskTssk~ Shaking my head as if mesmerized, I again look to that which sits before me and the words I do hear! Or rather thoughts from one mind to the other, speaking loudly it seems but without voice, ever steady do the eyes penetrate to the very me The Raven whispers....

A completeness seems to envelop the two of us or perhaps a sense of bonding, sharing our thoughts, mingling our lives with one another... Without even stirring the dust at our feet As if plucked up by another night wanderer The Raven alights to the sky as I watch it swirling in smooth circular patterns towards the moon, I wonder if our paths should ever cross again? In the distance...The Raven whispers... And what perchance doth the Raven whisper? That is but for the Raven and I Take heed For one day the Raven may whisper to you.......
