From my Raven Collection

Messenger

Ā 
Ā 
I just wasn't prepared
I mean I’d read about it
I'd even seen others experience it
but me? I just wasn't prepared
I guess I never thought It would happen to me
but here I was sitting in perfect peace
minding my own business
when suddenly
the raven appeared
paralyzing me, I couldn't help but stare
See, he's a fascinating bird
black as death itself
and his voice carries a magnificent crowing sound
over landscape of a thousand miles
and I suspect eternity?
appearing on my ledge uninvited
accepting his being
no noise just silence
time had suddenly stopped
this raven was only present for a moment
and as he picked up his eerie feathers
no doubt off to face his next victim
I knew...
I knew ...
in that split second
my entire life
was about to changed forever
and it did
because my friends
this type of sorrow
Ā is truly unpreparable.

Hi Shirley, you may not believe this but I had an exact experience of this in the very beginning of the firstĀ  wave of covid. For me it was one magpie( yea, it should have been a more original bird)Ā  in the garden when returning home from nightshift in the hospital...and a very clear voice in my head saying...you will be bereaved this year. Unbelievable? ...it's true....9 months later
the prophecy came.true in.the most unexpected and earth shattering way. Pinned for its perfection and weird relevance to me...hugs x
