A Ravens Tale

A Ravens Tale

Contributed by W. S. White


Dancing with the North star
Haunted by a shadow
A visitor unbidden
Telling tales
Stories of life full and frenzied
He draws them to my ears
Rarely altering the course
His visage unmarred
Mizar and Alcor
Trifled and unfinished
Waiting to be called
Singing to Aurora
A shade
A familiar spirit
With the tome
Of winter canons
Brief returns the rave
