No Such Light

From my Raven Collection

No Such Light

Ā 
Raven came, he came a tapping
like a thousand times before
I do not want to see him rapping
death has come to door once more
Ā 
I beg to differ, I shan't glance
you see my raven,Ā doesn't danceĀ 
tapping rapping full of somber
I shan't glance, my life no longer
Ā 
black as space I cannot seeĀ 
there is no angel here with meĀ 
Raven came he came a tapping
tapping on my prison doorĀ 
Ā 
as if I called him here to me
death is here, it’s here to see
ring the bells, it's time to ponder
life and death and all its wander
Ā 
Raven now inside my headĀ 
black is night it's time for bed
I won't sleep within sweet slumber
I won't close my eyes this night
Ā 
open mind free to wonder
why my life has no such light.
