Ravens

I dreamt a palace in the sky

Silver doors were open wide

Though I longed to see within

I did not dare to go inside

For there were ravens circling all around

Ravens circling darkly to the ground

Staring, pushing me away

Till at last they saw I was not staying

I dreamt of children in a field

Their silver voices filled the sky

Though I longed to dance and play

I did not dare to even try

For there were ravens circling all around

Ravens screaming till the joy was drowned

Laughing as they beat their wings

Till the children had to cease their singing

I dreamt a lover by a lake

His silver arms were open wide

Though I thought my heart would break

I did not sit down by his side

For there were ravens circling in the air

Ravens casting shadows on his hair

Staring down from up above

Who are they to sit and judge our loving?
