Steeped in depths of deepest sorrow,
Pains of others she did borrow;
Wrapped in cloak of midnight raven,
Waiting for sun's rise on morrow.

Wrapped in cloak of midnight raven,
Mind in flood with image graven;
A glint of hope does pierce her night,
With pale glimpse of peaceful haven.

A glint of hope does pierce her night,
With rising sun's pre-dawning light;
The inner embers start to glow,
As soul leaves dark in angel flight.

Steeped in depths of deepest sorrow,
Pains of others she did borrow;
Wrapped in cloak of midnight raven,
Waiting for sun's rise on morrow.

So awesome, Linda.  I had to go pull up some Poe after reading your verse to my children.  I read The Raven to them.  Guess what?  I got through almost all of it before they lost interest!  Very cool indeed.  A poetry lesson brought to my children via your hand!

Smiling at you!

Why do you write so good? I liked it. Peace.

(big hugggssssssss) Oh my gosh, this is wonderful writing, sweet friend, this somewhat remninded me of Magnus' poems with the Edgar Allen Poe atmosphere, how I can relate to this feeling so much as I felt like this as a little boy! (sigh) This is excellent, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Linda, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
