where crows go

Clouded morning filled with cold reminders of breath.
I hear them, over my head in the layered gray sky,
the sound is comforting wisdom, yet fading quick.
I search the gloom for my sweet omen, my belief.
Knowing of the animal medicine, not the reason.
Universal justice is here, law of men extinct.
Black mystery streaking suddenly just below the gray.
The skies bring the truth of crows, for me,
only because I noticed. They noticed back.
I smile, caws disappear somewhere misty.
Searching again yearning to have another glance.
I want more, yet have absorbed the message.

A deep wind blows into my body.

I am the third eye,
I am the rock,
I am the tree,
I am the beating heart,
I am the crow.

Another breath, grounded.
I watch the mist come from my body
knowing where crows go
and now I wait.
