Winter and Raven

Like a raven in a cemetery
After a winter thaw
Absorbing the quiet
Avoiding fatigue
The isolation is serene
How does it feel I wonder
To be free from sorrow
Holding frozen earth in claw
The tragedy of winter
Winter kill and decay
But the snow is white
So it appears clean
But this is a world of cold
Seeking a source of warmth
Is manifest idiocy
This is a world surreal
A world of apathy
A world of ignorance
A world that mocks those who feel


Could it be that wisdom appears on earth as a Raven, attracted by a little whiff of carrion?”  Friedrich Nietzsche
