The sea rose and fell
The waves were crashing
Thrashing a piece of wood
Against the rocks
The surf took it ashore
A strange stick I found
To pick up and ponder
And turn in my hands
A white raven's skull
Fashioned by time and tide
And its gnarly lines
Furrowed by stone
I put together a halo
Out of pieces of amber
Carved my own marks
With a knife of bone
In the middle of the halo
I placed the raven's skull
Drew wings with charcoal
Painted a bird in ash
The bird took wing and flew
A raven criеd in the wind
The images washеd away by the sea
Drawn by daylight's quill
Embraced by the woods
In the shadow of the twilight
A sign lingered in my mind
Halo behind my eyes
Picture of amber bright
Glowing with bronze
I put together a halo
Out of pieces of amber
Carved my own marks
With a knife of bone
In the middle of the halo
I placed the raven's skull
Drew wings with charcoal
Painted a bird in ash
I put together a halo
Out of pieces of amber
Carved my own marks
With a knife of bone
In the middle of the halo
I placed the raven's skull
Drew wings with charcoal
Painted a bird in ash
