I am the crow, my plumage black as night, with iridescent glow. To some, the harbinger of death, but not you, I know, you see a soul, a life of meaning. Peanuts scattered on the snow, a thoughtful token when worms dig deep and food is hard to find. Your generous act so kind. Yesterday, I found an ivory, twisted stick, beautifully intricate, divinely thick. Today, I placed it by your door, you picked it up with awe. You did not know that it was me; I watched you find it from my tree. A thankful gesture on my part, bestowed to you for the kindest heart.

THE CROW
I am the crow, my plumage black as night, with iridescent glow. To some, the harbinger of death, but not you, I know, you see a soul, a life of meaning. Peanuts scattered on the snow, a thoughtful token when worms dig deep and food is hard to find. Your generous act so kind. Yesterday, I found an ivory, twisted stick, beautifully intricate, divinely thick. Today, I placed it by your door, you picked it up with awe. You did not know that it was me; I watched you find it from my tree. A thankful gesture on my part, bestowed to you for the kindest heart.
