I stood on the edge of the world today.
Surrounded by demons in chains
Collectively they tried my spirit to sway
So, I tauntingly asked them their names
I felt an evil wash ore' me like rain
I whispered; you'll be the one that needs savin'
Confused by my strength, they cried, riling in pain
As I sent out the call for the ravens
They came in a flood of black feathers and claw
taking aim at the wicked before me
Before they could vanish, the last thing they saw
Were the roots of my family tree
Steady and true, of the grandest design
the stronghold alone, midst' the fray
I shook off the weight and the trial of life
like the raven, I just flew away

A Dart at Dusk
Seconds ago, the sullen sun set on the two of us… my exuberant furry companion and me. A fresh breeze embraces us, delivering welcome relief from the day’s oppressive heat. His typical stumbling and staggering along — apace with a sloth — has turned into trip-trapping, high-stepping, almost skipping along.
