I just wasn't prepared
I mean I’d read about it
I'd even seen others experience it
but me? I just wasn't prepared
I guess I never thought It would happen to me
but here I was sitting in perfect peace
minding my own business
when suddenly
the Raven appeared
Paralyzing me, I couldn't help but stare
See, he's a fascinating bird
black as death itself
and his voice carries a magnificent crowing sound
over landscape of a thousand miles
and I suspect eternity?
appearing on my ledge uninvited
accepting his being
no noise just silence
time had suddenly stopped
this raven was only present for a moment
and as he picked up his eerie feathers
no doubt off to face his next victim
I knew...
I knew ...
in that split second
my entire life
was about to changed forever
and it did
because my friends
this type of sorrow
is truly unpreparable.

Hi teddy )) a good writing .. to be honest I think ravens can often be associated with the dark and that maybe there a sign of bad luck .. but no I don’t think they are .. I always find it interesting the meaning behind seeing different animals /birds ,
Dear Rose I just have a muse and I think he's a raven after all one of my all time favourite poems.is the Raven by Edgar Allen Poe ❤️ thank you sweet poetess

Is a raven your spirit animal?

'and as he picked up his eerie feathers

I knew...
I knew ...'
this poem, is more centred dear Poetess
as-if from the very first word
you already knew, where
your scribbling footsteps would
take you, for a change
a rare gift in our poetic journey
since most of the time, i find
we start not having a clue, where
our words will take us..
lol
(or maybe that's jut me and my
mad hatter, tendencies)
such an atmospheric poem you've crafted
a memorable read, thank you!
hope you have lovely weekend my friend
Good morning my dear Mek I knew you would love this why why you like to read about my pain and suffering ? Lmao 🤣😂 if it wasn't for poets like you I wouldn't be able to write this stuff so kudos to you dear friend
❤️ Thank you ❤️
Sorrow! But I have to tell you, the RAVEN is my spirit animal. They're empaths, and very smart! If you haven't, I suggest reading Odin's ravens. They're sometimes seen as a sign of death, but I see them as...transformation; and we all know how painful that can be. But, with transformation comes rebirth. Great read!! Thank you!
Dear Liz, I have an extraordinary love for the raven and use him in many metaphor the Raven by Edgar Allen Poe which I just am mesmerized each time I read. I'm originally from London and when I was a child crows used to terrify me. Odin's ravens I love that, will check it out thank you so much I'm so glad you enjoyed this. ❤️
I am an empath too .. )) never thought my spirit animal was a raven .. never know what mine is. Although I did see a raven a while back that kept appearing near our house and I wandered if it was a sign of something
Sorry to interrupt on the comments between you too ..
Hope it’s ok
You are most welcome dear rose ❤️
Hi, welcome! Maybe it meant new beginning?
Hi liz ) maybe it did .. yeah I don’t know . Think it was a sign of some sort
I once had a fox come into the garden ..
I find it interesting the meaning behind seeing different animals / birds etc
I love that! It is interesting!!!
❤️ the hummingbird so true to who I am and I never knew. ❤️
Nice! They're beautiful and can be a symbol of hope and love!
I read this out loud and it was so so good - now thats what I call a poem!!
My dear Michael thank you. Humbled by your words dear friend ❤️
Good words Neville, Ravens are very clever birds to be able to get our imaginations to fill ill of them.
Andy

Dear Melvin, thank you so much dear friend, one I wished I had not experienced so early in life, but it did teach me so much and I'm always humbled when this raven comes to inspire my muse. ❤️
