Your sleek ebony feathers Cascading miles of white Snow falling with each call for a mate Piercing through the harsh icy winds Raven. You're wasting your time This winter has annihilated your chances Of ever seeing her again Your ebony beak now holds ice Crystallizing your fears You know death is nipping at you As your wings of darkness flap They only postpone this inevitable fate You too shall fall like autumn leaves Buried in the weight of winters sorrow Like the roses and Lillie's you picked Just for her on spring mornings You know you're not a winter raven You're just the last one to find happiness
