Looking Out The Window On A Snowy Night

Come hither darkness that brings forth the Raven

And thither your snowflakes, as I heed from nigh haven

Hemlock and Willow, Bayberry, Beech

Bear witness to fable this Raven may teach

She peers down at me while she perches up high

I sit at my post and look in her eye

Look closely, she whispers at this fallen flake

What do you see in this hour at stake?

What I espied was a beauty untold

The snowflake cascaded, so lucid, yet bold

I sit at my post and I conceive the unknown

Thy Raven's sound thought, nay longer alone.
