THE CORVUS

THE CORVUS                 TIM WILLIAMS     MAY 2015

THE CORVUS , THE CROW STANDING LONELY
IN A GRAVEYARD SHUFFLES SIDEWAYS ,STARING
STARING LONG INTO MY EYE'S TURNS AND VIEWS
 THE MIDDLE DISTANCE AS IF, AS IF.....
HE KNOWS WHY WE ARE THERE, WHY WE HUNT
WHY WE SEEK , WHAT WE ARE SEARCHING FOR
IT'S AS IF HE IS TELLING US WHERE TO LOOK....SURELY NOT

WE ARE SEARCHING FOR MY GREAT GRANDADS GRAVE
AGAIN ,THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME I VISIT I KNOW
ROUGHLY WHERE IT IS BUT NEED A LITTLE TIME
TO FIND IT, THIS TIME WE ARE BEING GUIDED
BY THE CORVUS, WHO STANDS AND STARES AT
THE GRAVE I SEEK, I REALLY WISH THAT HE WAS WRONG
THAT HE STARED AT THE WRONG GRAVE .... BUT NO

THE CORVUS' HEAD LOOKS AT ME, THEN TURNS
AND LOOKS AT THE GRAVE I SEEK ,THE CORVUS IS RIGHT
THE CORVUS IS WISE, THE CORVUS KNOWS, BUT HOW
HOW DOES HE KNOW, WHO TOLD HIM I WAS COMING
ON THIS DAY JUST ONCE A YEAR, NOT ALWAYS THE SAME DATE
OR DAY OR TIME, HOW DOES HE KNOW WHO I WANT
HAS GREAT GRANDAD TAKEN ON A NEW FORM ?

THIS THOUGHT ENTERS MY MIND, I DISMISS IT,
DISMISS IT AS CRAZINESS , MADNESS , INSANITY,
AND UTTERLY IMPOSSIBLE, THE CORVUS IS NOT THAT CLEVER,
SURELY NOT, I RESEARCH THE CROW FAMILY THE CORVUS,
THEY ARE CLEVER ,THEY ARE WISE, THEY KNOW TOO
MUCH ,THEY ACTUALLY RECOGNISE US AS INDIVIDUALS 
BE WORRIED, BE VERY VERY SCARED THEY ARE GOD'S OR CREATORS IN DISGUISE......BELIEVE IT.

AND THEN WE FIND QUITE BY ACCIDENT ,
ONE DAY LATER THAT MY FAMILY MOTTO IS
Duw A Ddarpar L'r Brain or GOD PROVIDES FOR THE CROWS.
A TRUE AND WORRYING STORY.
