No Such Light Poem by Shirley Harrison

Raven came, he came a tapping
like a thousand times before
I do not want to see him rapping
death has come to door once more

I beg to differ, I shan't glance
you see my raven, doesn't dance
tapping rapping full of somber
I shan't glance, my life no longer

black as space I cannot see
there is no angel here with me
Raven came he came a tapping
tapping on my prison door

as if I called him here to me
death is here, it's here to see
ring the bells, it's time to ponder
life and death and all its wander

Raven now inside my head
black is night it's time for bed
I won't sleep within sweet slumber
I won't close my eyes this night

open mind free to wonder
why my life has no such light.
