Raven

Soaring through the sky
On midnight wings,
Landing below,
By the gushing springs.

Following behind,
Luscious coal garments
Lingering in the light breeze.

Penetrating eyes,
Twinkling in the starlight,
Seeing the depths
Of unfathomable measures.

Fearless, Proud, Cunning,
Loyal, Attentive, Deadly.

Scavenger of snow
Idol of the artic
Admired 'til the end
