Episode 58: The Raven in Me

There is a raven in me, Feathers dipped in midnight thought, Perched upon the brittle edges Of every lesson pain has taught. It does not fear the coming storm, It rides the thunder’s call, Wings spread wide in broken skies Refusing still to fall. It croaks in truths I tried to hide, In shadows I once ran from, Pecking at the fragile lies My quiet heart had spun. Yet in its dark, obsidian eye A silver glimmer gleams, For even ravens guard the light  That flickers in our dreams. So let it sit inside my chest, Let it beat and cry and be, For strength is born in midnight wings, And the raven… lives in me.Written by https://www.threads.com/@joni.ta125 This is a public episode.
