Hi Guys, I've been posting in teen poetry for a while now, but I'm getting older and my poetry is starting to become older as well. I'm unsure that this is really a poem or if its just a philosophy but anyhow I'm sure you guys will let me know.. ____________________________________________________ An Unkindness Of Ravens Some people believe that ravens guide travelers to a desired destination Others believe that the sight of a solitary raven is considered good luck Whilst more than one raven together predicts trouble in the darkness ahead Where will life take us, where will we land amongst this sorry storm of our life? And i ask myself, does this darkness have a name This cruelty, this hatred How did if find us Did it steal into our lives or did we seek it out and embrace it What’s happening to us? We now send our children into this world, like we send young men to war We hope for their safe return but we know some will be lost along the way What happened to us? Did the dark of night capture us and suck the sense from our brains Tell me, when we lose our way Remember tonight, as it’s the begging of always A promise, a reward for persisting in life for so long alone A belief in each other and the possibility of love beyond this darkness A decision to ignore the uncomforted and rise above the pain of our past A convent of truth which at once blinds two souls and severs all priorities The celebrations of a chance taken and the challenge that lies ahead Because two will always be stronger than one during this storm of life Be like a team braced against the tempests of this world Tonight is merely a formality of an announcement made to the world Of feelings long held, promises made long ago in the sacred space of our hearts The space that darkens as the raven’s circle, a space that will become torn. There are moments in our lives when we find ourselves stuck at a cross road We’re afraid and confused, lost without a road map The choices we make in those moments can define the rest of our days Of course when were faced with the unknown, most of us turn around and go back |

quote: Welcome to Open, typical Aussie chick! I enjoyed reading your poem, you touch upon a very significant topic. This is considered a day of renewal and indeed we should pause for a moment and think, as you do, so that we can truly awaken to Love, which is essential for the change so very much needed in this world. You write well! Love, Margherita  |
