Shadow and Crow

A crow’s shadow illuminated the moon,

Flying past the space above the trees -

Leaving me where I couldn’t see.

The night held still, playing an altered tune.

Hinting at a melody brushed with ease.

A crow’s shadow illuminated the moon,

Its subtle wings unfolded too soon,

Carrying its feathers lightly on the breeze –

Leaving me where I couldn’t see.

Pleading shadows softly back to noon,

Brushing past the spaces shifting the trees –

A crow’s shadow illuminated the moon,

Whispering silently within the rune –

Tracing gentle movement inside the breeze.

A quiet recognition brushed the rune.

A crow’s shadow illuminated the moon,

Leaving me where I couldn’t see.
