Raven's Child

The Raven Child
Give the raven child
A box of stars
Tossed to heavens
For the firmament
Finally to unfurl
Before the astounded eyes
'Twas the same fate
So I’ve been told
For the sun and the moon
All those years
Without a trace
In that secret place--hidden
When… Why… How… Sky
Might Reveal… Low… un… to… High
How long we search
For that sacred light
Til here it is
Sealed now. Still somehow safe and pure…
Awaiting the one to open…
