    To my beloved...

    Ravens talk, chatter, spit and walk
    branch becomes perch, narrative birth
    tongue keeps wipping in the wind
    there conversation making perfect sense

    Mira's ravens keep everything sedative
    they have let out the sun
    pine tree curls at the thought
    of listening to another story
    furrowed in the wind

    an elaborate exchange of song
    washing through the drifts of wings
    black birds wait
    patient
    for the girls return

    Ripples with beauty and caution. Overflows with awareness and sensitivity. Nice job.

    thank you, those are nice comments. I am always pleased when poetry reaches deep within the soul eventually birthing personal understanding.

    I agree with sylvan, very touching. Great, fresh descriptions in this made me see the snapshots vividly...and the emotions that went along with each stanza were well displayed.
    I love this stanza...it's so personal and elegant.
