The Heart of a Raven

The Heart of a Raven

There once was a Raven

With the heart of a man

Who longed to be human

For the love of a woman

He traded his wings

And the freedom of flight

For a life on the ground

And a hand to hold

And he was mournfully happy

Until she flew away to the moon

And he was left alone

There once was a man

With the heart of a Raven

Who longed to have wings

To trade this weighted life

For the expanse of the sky

In dreams he flew

As he once did long ago

Across the night sky

At home amongst the stars

And this man’s dark heart

Longed to be a bird evermore
