If I were a raven.

If I were a raven,
I would spread my wings wide
Let the wind lift me
and take to the sky

If I were a raven,
I would keep to the shadows
Sing to the music of darkness-
the sweetest songs I know

If I were a raven,
I would watch the world unwind
As people love, hate, and grow
and keep close with those of their kind.

If I were a raven,
I would call out to the moon
A harsh cry of mystery
To the stars, randomly strewn

If I were a raven,
I would make a home in the tallest tree
Away from the world, so questioning
Where I could simply be.
