Crow's Descent

gray0328

 

once  

crow was white as snowfall grace  

singing hymns to ancient bright skies  

  

he grew bold with every sunlit breath  

spread wings beyond their given span  

a challenger to the sun's throne  

  

he soared upward through molten light  

each ray a warning etched on feathers  

still he believed he could conquer it  

  

the sky split open in roaring flame  

sun bared its teeth and burned him whole  

purity scorched to brittle black ash  

  

crow tumbled silent from scorched heights  

his wings now whispers of pride's price  

earth cradled him humble and charred  

  

from white to black his hunger speaks  

a defeated song shadows still hum
