The white raven

The white raven

I had a dream I was
Walking along a river
It was late as the moon
Was full The stars were
Bright I could hear drums
Playing far off distanceĀ 

Just than a white bird
Flies by and lands on
The ground I can see
His eyes were blue
My eyes were glue
To him I never seen
Anything like it

Then it’s Flies into
The woods as I stood
And watched it i followed
It into the woods

Where I came upon
Indians by aĀ fire
I said did you see the
White bird they said yes
It is the white raven

They said it is a symbol
From God it means
Healing of one’s soul
And so a revelationĀ 
From the Gods will
Begin as I ran out
Of the woods so
Did the White raven
As he flies into the night
By the light of the moon.

Yes, you are right!Ā  It's called leucism. It's a genetic mutation. Sometimes they are black with white patches too apparently. A white raven, though, that's super cool x
