This World

Look at the sky
Is it streaked with red
Or painted blue?

Look at the sky
Do the stars shine brightly
Or are they subdued?

Look at the sky
Does the Raven's caw greet you
Or is it the Dove's gentle wings?

Stand firm against the Wind
Does it push and pull
Or simply whisper in your ear?

The sound of Rain greets you
Is it soft and cool
Or cold and harsh?

Two eyes stare back at you
Are they soft and sweet
Or harsh and cruel?

Stare at the stars
Whether they are bright or cloaked in shadow

Remember yourself
How you have changed

Listen, for the world can change
Under the guidance of the Raven or Dove

Whether the Wind whispers or roars
Listen to its guidance

Whether Dove or Raven greets you
Look upon them and ask

Whether the stars gleam or drown in Darkness
Remember that you will one day join them

Rain echos and Lighting strikes
Biding you a hello

The sun sets and the darkening sky in awash with dusk
Answering you with a farewell

The eyes blink and disappear
Leaving you alone for now

The final curtain call has arrived
And now bids you goodbye
