Raven Showed Me The Light

From my Raven Collection

Raven Showed Me The Light

 
My Raven's back     
tonight he stayed
he stayed with me 
through my dismay 
I never knew my tears could fall
eyeballs swollen 
dusk till dawn
I asked him why
why, do you stay?
softly gently
he, did say
you're weak and tired 
you're lost in grief 
I'll stay with you 
this moment brief…
 
and he did.

Dear Greg, I started writing about my Raven because I had profound grief, now he has become a part of my poetry collection, thank you so much for coming by with your kind words of encouragement 🌹

I think I have said before how much I love poetry that has recurring themes. Yours are your angel, your raven and your deer. For me it bathes your writing in a spirituality which I also love. 
I really like the short lines here. They completely suit your poem. And I love the rhymes.
My favourite line(s) - I'll stay with you this moment brief. So touching and caring. 
And whatever inspired you to add the last 3 words did a great job my dear friend. Perfection. 🌹
