My Road Leads Into the Desert
“The Desert has many teachings” – Mechthild of Magdeburg
Tell me crow
your story
When you spread
your wings
I take refuge
in shadow
Wind dispel
in gusts
scatter like dust
my thoughts
leave only sand
beneath
Mesquite mother
water wise
transmute rain
into shelter
Teach arms to
touch sky

This line pulls me right in to the poem
:Tell me crow
your story
Oh, yes, the mythology and magic of passerine corvoidae! I love the spiritual nature of this poem. And this reflects the divine features of Crow. Wonderful poem! Thank you for sharing it.
I too have a crow poem. I’ll post it tomorrow.
