ALL PHOTOGRAPHY BY WILLIAM BAYLESS
Once upon a sunny day, as I traveled on my way
Over the many roads and pathways of the wilderness core.
With my camera I was snapping, when suddenly I heard a tapping
As of wings gently flapping, flapping by my Honda’s door.
“T’is a Raven,” I uttered, “flapping by my Honda’s door -
I wonder what he’s looking for.”
Ah, distinctly I recall, he landed in a tree top tall,
And each gust of summer wind, moved the tree and the weight it bore.
Whimsically, I sought to hear the sounds projected toward my ear -
Sounds that filled my heart with cheer – cheer for the message that he bore
And the message from this noble bird of yore………….
Was, “Carrion for evermore.” |
