Raven Swarm from Ebony Pendant by Ebony Pendant

A wolf's howl and a flap of wings
A clarion call through the valley rings
The birds of dusk hover on the chilling gale
Below the rain clouds in a sky so pale
Ravens' circle blowing an icy gust of wind
Swiftly down to earth as they descend
The black wings of night now part the mist
Raven swarm circling above
Auspicious..

A vision from the raven's eye
Portents, identified
Grim fates are sealed in time
The ravens' wisdom never lies
At flight on blackened wings
Looking down below
What insight do the ravens hold
No one has ever known..

Forest of birch, standing so tall
Echoes still heard of the clarion call
Fog turns to dew on the leaves of the ferns
We live and die as the world ever turns
The omnipotent presence is that of the birds
That soar the sky truer than words
Misdoings of man to a world that they love
Are not lost to them as they circle high above..

A vision from the raven's eye
Portents, identified
Grim fates are sealed in time
The ravens' wisdom never lies
At flight on blackened wings
Looking down below
What insight do the ravens hold
No one has ever known..
