Message From A Crow

THE CROW

I, with basket and pins
headed for the sun bleached lines

suspended betwixt the T-posts of steel.

He, with glinting wings and piercing eyes

headed for the uppermost tip of the
highest branch of his chosen tree.

I gazed towards him
he studied me

he called three times

I smiled

I shook the towels

in the brilliant Saturday sun
and asked him if

he carried a message for me

I queried if he'd brought

a sign, an omen ?

He spread his handsome wings

gliding towards me, calling

Tho I was at first unsure if he carried

a sign, omen or message for me
I had no doubt why humans
have always acknowledged crows to be
mystical messengers


This day as I held a question
and formed a wish within my heart

 he flew just past my shoulder
so close his wing tip
stirred the air, within reach of my cheek

As he passed his eye met mine
 he continued calling
he spoke to me
the crow had delivered my answer...

A fiddle, voices & words that transcend time

Tis a love song I share with you today
A love song I can well imagine

having resonated  within the walls
of my old girl in her one hundred & forty plus years

Times change, society wanders
but the depth of the heart
ah the the depth of love

alters never

Blackest Crow By The Showponies Band
(CD to be released Spring 2012)

Without doubt I will learn the tune and words to memory

and it will be heard within her walls in coming days...

(not as lovely in the singing, lol, but it will be sung)

Enjoy
