The Child of The Aurora
By Theresa Rose

The great raven owns my soul.
She flies me high against the winds of time.
I hold no more malice toward her claws in which I am now entwined.
She clings to my heart.

She allows me no room to feel free of my darkness.
And I now seek no longer,
To find the sun or the moon
That she had took from my world, so long ago.

Now, I see the peace of her flight.
Now, I welcome the journey her black wings are taking me on.
Into the sweet icy air ahead, I look.
I feel the most embracing sense of joy.

I smile, and I see the dance of my ancestors.
They ride the skies over their frozen homeland.
The swirling colors of the black skies.
The skies that I have seen for all these days.

I hear the call of all the wings, of the raven, have taken before me.
Now, I see her wings not as the thief of a mother's child,
But as the flight of the protector.
The protector of lost spirits as I have been told.
I raise up my arms to reached out for my greatest joy.

No more fear,
No more loneliness;
Ne Kra Ra!
Reunited at last.

This is very different, but also compelling. It sounds Incan but I get overtones of Koori myth. Well done.
Be well

but it is the loss that shapes the image,
gathers the flowers weaves the garland."-

Theresa......
This writing strikes a very familiar chord with me, as I live in Alaska! I am at home with all the images you portrayed in your work, and I would like to say how well you did it!!< !signature-->

Today is a gift....
That is why they call it
'the Present'!
