Counting Crows

Counting Crows


Crow speaks through dawn's fogged windows
uncoffined invocations penetrate 
layers of glassed cages ,
listening to the broken silence beckon
the lightened sky from within

drawing cognition from stoic suspended moments
wings uplifted to a higher treetop crown ; 
black feathered realms muse ,
reminds what is spoken with familiar voices ,
ofttimes unheard by familiar ears disquiet


at least a thousand frogs report morning mist astir ,
yet cannot mute the echoed news on high
crow recites voices from memory ,
perched upon befogged and lonely treetops ,
where eyes clearly see beyond


Reverently recognizing the realm shared
with nearby broken soul …

and my heart runs to the window and calls out, " Dad!? Is that YOU?!?" , spirit knowing that God, his friend, has sent a sign of love and understanding. :)
