Caption: "An unkindness
of ravens
so black,
the dark’s
afraid of them..." | rAveNswAn |
Caption: Through the
Kindness of Ravens An unkindness of ravens
So black,
The dark’s afraid of them
Eyes spiritless, empty
Their vacuum the envy
Of every black hole
Lacking light, missing color
I long to fill their void
With a prism of soul
Caption: But it was me they were saving
Drowning in my pool of tears
Insanity, ranting, raving
Built up through the fallen years
Then they wake me to
This light called life
I know I’ll make it through
Everything
Is gonna work out right
Picture
Caption: Because I’ve spent my life
Watching the butterfly
Flutter by
Life’s light pouring in
Spotted up from above
Spread her wings
Now she’s gonna fly
Soaked up by my skin
Hidden destiny
Curiosity
I wonder why
Energy within
⬇️
I want to join her now
Wipe the tear
Falling from her eye
Now my life begins
Picture
Caption: From the blindness
They’re saving
A life led by a ship of fools
Black filters
Raised by darker wings
From the waves
Of my drowning pools
And in the blindness
Of stormy sailing
Lost in the shadows of waves
The eye of the storm is empty
Its vacuum the engine
Of briny black souls
Caption: Lacking life
And safe harbor
I long to fill their void
With the winds on taut sails
Masts splintered, sails tattered
Beaten by ocean fury
As if nor’easter-blown
Providing me safe-haven
From drowning
In this pool of tears
Outstretched wings of the raven
Lift me from the storm of years
⬇️
As I tremble through
Most fearful strife
My life’s vision askew
As if peering
Through the cynic’s eyes
Picture
Caption: ‘Cause I had spent my life
Watching the butterfly
Flutter by
Darkness from within
Spotted up from above
Spread her wings
Knew she was gonna fly
Saturates my skin
Hidden destiny
Curiosity
I wondered why
Dead man’s medicine
⬇️
I want to join her now
Wipe the tear
Falling from her eye
Source of my poison
Picture
Caption: Through the kindness of ravens
I’m back
Sparked by their orbs of flint
Eyes now flaming, their iris
The cores of live volcanoes
Filled with light,
Burning colours
Eruptions of power
Like the raging river flows
Caption: And it was me they were saving
Drowning in the pool of tears
Insanity, ranting, raving
Built up through the failing years
Then I woke up to
This light called life
I knew I’d made it through
The very darkness of life’s night
Picture
Caption: "Because I’ve
spent my life
watching the
butterfly
flutter by."
Caption: ‘Cause I’ve spent my life
Watching the butterfly
Flutter by
Sadness until when
Spotted up from above
Spread her wings
Knew she was gonna fly
Received what they had sent
Hidden destiny
Curiosity
I wonder why
I take control again
⬇️
So I’ve joined her now
With no fear
And we’ve begun to fly...
