Augury

From my Raven Collection

Augury

Ā 
Looking back now
Ā 
I should have knownĀ 
Ā 
when I saw Raven thereĀ 
Ā 
in the middle of the roadĀ 
Ā 
because, it was 5 am

and I was finally going home
Ā 
I was the happiest I’d been for ages
Ā 
A perfect summer's Dawn
Ā 
with a perfect rising Sun
Ā 
I'd never seen him there before

in the middle of the road
Ā 
so I should have known?Ā 
Ā 
I should have read it as a sign?
Ā 
and I should have turned backĀ 
Ā 
so now I know...
Ā 
I cannot change what is or what has been?
Ā 
but if I ever see him there again
Ā 
My darling Raven, in the middle of the roadĀ Ā 
Ā 
I'll know, I'll know...
Ā 
just what to do.
Ā

I don't want to presumeĀ 
I don't remember what the RavenĀ 
Represents?

He is my friend through grief, he is my Messanger when someone dies, he is my warning when something bad happens, he is also a fictional character born out my my deep grief for those I lost suddenly like my mother who was 64 and my brother who was 25, my friend who died of cancer she was 34, I can tell you that the first time I ever read The Raven of Edgar Allan Poe, I picked up a pen and started writing about my own grief, so yes fictional yet an incredible part of my writers journey 🌹 thank you for asking. 🌹

I remember about your brotherĀ 
I didn't know the rest
A totem? Or in Aussie, a dreaming?
Would you consider it?

I had to look up the word totem, yes I suppose a sort of spirit guide, thank you. I did actually see a raven in the middle of the road in July at 5 am when I left for London, unfortunately it was quite the sign, I had the most unfortunate trip home, but it's ok, I'm 50 years old andĀ  I can take what life to throws at me. Thank you so much Rory, for your incredibly kind curiosity, I've actually written a kind of anology about the raven thanks to you. ā¤ļø
