THE RAVEN In the cool air of the dark night A lonely raven takes to flight Soaring higher and higher, casting eerie shadows by the moonlight Circling and circling, so aimlessly Then suddenly plunges into a deep dive Gathering speed with fury Disappearing into the mysterious canyons below me Glancing up into to the dark sky I see a shooting star streaking by I see the universe, looking back at me The stars like million sets of eyes Yet I feel alone, no one to share my feelings or love My soul reaches for you thousands of miles from me As I wonder will you ever be near me My tears roll softly off my cheeks Missing you so intensively, as I realize that will never be In the cool air of the dark night As I roam around so aimlessly, crying silently Broken, without hope of receiving your love, and hugs I realize life is not worth living without you by my side As I step closer to the edge of the deep canyon I glance once more at the sky above Take a final step into the eternal void, falling silently I realize the raven was me, in his flight to his destiny The shooting star was my soul, in his final path lighting the dark sky in agony.
