the crow(A.Melleby,12.09.2015)

whispers
soft words
flying through the air
an open window
a sky so blue
and thoughts of you

it´s gone now
while I´m still here
it´s gone now
and I´m still here

I lay on the wooden floor
like a fallen tree
half in dreams, half awake
my thoughts scattered
like leafs on the ground
blowing around
in the wind

it´s gone now
while I´m still here
it´s gone now
and I´m still here

the wings of a crow
coming in for a soft landing
on my windowsill
catching my attention
for a split second our eyes met
only to read my mind
and fly away

it´s gone now
while I´m still here
it´s gone now
and I´m still here

my head back on the floor
eyes closed
mind on fast rewind
meeting the crows eyes
one more time
unlike me
it has no past

it´s gone now
while I´m still here
it´s gone now
and I´m still here

it´s gone now
while I´m still here
it´s gone now
and I´m still here

the crow
