Ravens 011

born we crashed through shell
and found our feet
clawed our way through hell

young we thought it neat
discovered wings
learned to wait for meat

learnt the hidden things
saw woman fall
make a line of kings

watched the master call
and heard him tell
the story of it all

and now we know the lore
of why each egg is sealed and still
the angels pause before
the newborn life has found free will
