Feathers glitter
iridescent black,
dark presence
at the side lines of sight,
awareness
at the back edge of soul,
harkening,
warning the enemy
from the Blackthorn
stay away or die,
warning friends
from the Oak top
be wary of the cry today,
its own demanding voice  
stark without apology,
borrowing brazenly
any other voice it wants to use
with clarity,
eyes that do not judge
nor do they forgive,
familiar of the Morrighan,
Modron of the Morrigna,
mistaken living monitor of battle,
custodian of death,
the dream catcher
in between awareness
and a man's last breath,
my traveling friend
free bird
watcher of my elemental,
companion in the end.

icebox...An answer to my poem's question?...I hope I didn't offend you or the crow.  As that was not intended.

My brother Crow knows he is annoying; it just does not concern him.

and here I was wondering if Martie's post was in answer to my reply to her lovely haiku too. Chuckle.

Both of you write divinely. No need for explanation or apology--

oh I wish I could write like this...sigh.

*smile*

Why would you wish to write why less skill and with less creative energy than that which your work consistently exhibits?

I do not understand.

Thank you for reading my poem.
