Threads


Would that I could,
Love the Raven in flight
My heart says I should
And not ever let her from my sight

Would that I could
Be a ball of thread
To wrap around her talons and fly
Or be that wound round her nest the night next to her breast

Would that I could
be a path of sand
Her beak tossing me, teasing me
Or be consumed by her fully and warmed by her belly

Would that I could
Be a drop of rain
The span of her wing catching me from heaven
Or her thirst, with my waters, forgiven

Would that I could
be a breath of wind, a sigh
Nourishing her lungs
and lifting her weightlessly across all skies

Would that I could

    Beautiful...I often watch the ravens in flight near my home and actually think these things...though whether your ravens are allegorical I dont know...
