Return Of The Crow Poem by Dave Alan Walker

Return Of The Crow

Rating: 3.5


I awoke
With three bullets in my back,
in a dark and cold tunnel
from a time I don't know

I walked for eternity
to find my way home
The spirits of the past
guiding my path

One was called Peter
He tended my wounds
All is life he said he'd seen me
walk this path
Thirtyfive years before I was born
he said he'd seen my soul

He guided me to daylight
and said it's now time to rise
Rise like the crow
Go seek your revenge

Lay three bullets
in their hands
Watch their souls
Turn to sand

Salvation ('moksha') still far from sight.. Revenge still presented as duty ('karma') .. No escape from cycles of births and deaths! ! ! Crow depicting free spirit.. Adept transcendent exposition.

Three bullets in my back....is that you got back-stabbed for 3x? For me..Spirit must close to soul...it make consciousness alive 'Peter', had this before? and ask you to seek revenge? ? I guess rise like a crow is good but revenge for that...hmmm not good because we wont change past either, but we are stronger than ever Turn them to sand, wont bury the dark past...but sure nature of life The bullets shot on you will turn back like boomerang right to their chest Just rebirth your life into armor feather, my Crow! ! _Unwritten Soul

Revenge is sweet, but not wise. Though sometimes it would be great to do unto others what they do unto us. Very passionate poem...

This is very good. I somehow knew there will be poets writing in this uncomplicated style. I also invite you to read my poems particularly, Tiring Day.
