He\'s back
he\'s back to remind me of that day
a day so dark
not even a tornado of light
could have persuaded my head to pull itself up
to look at its illumination
my Raven, he came to see me
to sit with me
and to let me know
he was here to comfort me
I often wonder if he will ever just stop visiting?
what would I have to do to send him away forever?
I never really speak to him
after all he\'s just a bird?
he\'s a Raven, he\'s my very own Raven
on days of dark like today
he comes
to acknowledge my grief in silence
but today I plucked up the courage
to ask him...
\"will you visit me
on the same very dark date
every year\"?
he replied...
let go of all your grief
and I\'ll be gone
maybe, just maybe someday I will?
I’ll miss him though
ironically, I’ll probably grieve for him too.
