Crow went to search
and never came back
black speck against the deep blue
soaring toward nothing
flying in the space between
So far
boat long gone
I wonder –
did crow despair?
did crow dive into it all?
or
did crow soar?
no olive branch
just a dream of home
and a raucous cry
calling the gates open
bearing the message
Save our souls
Save our souls
Save our souls
black speck against
the light
bold herald singing
