Snow falls slowly, gently i fly above the white carpet.

Black are my body and wings, free i may be as freezing cold wind blows.

Dead animals lay in the cold snow, i land close to their stiff bodies.
Still open dead eyes stare out, i peck at the exposed eyeballs and feed off the unfortunate.

Dark skies with blown snowflakes blast my face, but raggedly i fly and feed on the dead.

Calling, crowing in the white sheeted fields.
Exposed to the cold new morning, death is our companion, we eat exposed animals.

Slowly, silently we fly above houses, black hearts, black eyes watching.

Our old souls were bad, and so we live with these rencarnated souls, mysteriously dark souls.

We scavenge, our black hearts will forever search, but my heart once knew beauty.

''Each soul is potentialy divine..the goal is to manifest that divinity''

even scavengers are a necessary part of "the cycle"

and the beauty is there...even in the darkest of hearts...

take care

Muted....scavengers are needed in nature..they are natures cleaners...they play a vital part....but they are uniquely beautiful too...

Thank you for your kind reply....

You take care also...and dream of all the colours of the rainbow...

I was wide awake at morning's first light because a raucous raven chose to hop about beneath my window. Yes, the cleanup crew songs its own charm song.

You know...it's odd that you should post something about crows. And very well done might I add. Odd I say as just the other night I was gazing out the window and thought to myself, "those can't possibly be leaves atop that tree this time of year", when all of a sudden in one rush, families of crows flew off as one. I had no idea that they could fly at night. Amazing birds.  hugs, Chris

I love you

Thanks..

balence and harmony are an essetial part of nature and ecology....things may not always look pretty...but all living creatures have a reason for living..

Thank you LeeJ...

Nightshade...crows and their immediate family are oportunist..and if they think some food might be got at night..they will fly....

Thank you for your insight and words Chris...
