Blinded

Into your darkness

I channelled

All my colours

All my light

My hope

My joy

My inner life

After you walked away

I strained my neck to find you

Blinded

By your black silhouette

All I felt

Was death, regret

Unaware of the raven

Perched on my shoulder

I thought you had stolen

My healing light

My mystic colours

Dancing all the while behind me

Writhing in pain

I made the raven flap its wings

Turned to look over my shoulder

And saw with awe

The vibrant space behind me

I turned my back on that dark empty space

And claimed

My light

My colours

My life

And the raven took flight with fright
