Corvid

From winter's reign she breaks

In soulful flights to escape

A fledgling corvid taking wings

As feather falls so she sings

Until she drifts before the ground

Greets the hollow without sound

And tucks her bones beneath the earth

In resting once more to worth

So up again and flourishing

Leaves pass in seasons matching

'Till nest's next of kin hatches again

And out that heart a corvid begins

One day may pass that I witness

Her subtle passing over grasses

While your eyes glean the sight

Of your bird of black and white

Beyond mere feather does it say

How love's purpose may refrain

And echo as it does with us

Like the corvid's cycle

Harmonious.
