For years when I would

Head outside

I would be followed

By a plethora of

Black crows

They gave me the wigs

These birds were loud and creepy looking

I always wondered if they were

Harbingers of doom

Death to find me

They would congregate

On my street

All over everyone's front yards

Some squawking

Others dead silent

What did these

Black crows

These ravens

Want

Did seeing them

Mean something

Sinister

I researched and found

Conflicting meanings

Some reported them as

Meaning that someone close

Would meet their demise soon

While others claimed

Black crows

Were protectors

Of the humans they sought out

So which was it?

And then just recently

I saw a Native American

Zodiac calendar

Lo and behold

Based on my birthday

I was/am a raven

Which is a technically

A black crow

The description was

Almost 100% accurate

Of me as a person

So now I had to rethink

The fear

And uncertainty I felt

Highly enthusiastic

A natural entrepreneur

Raven is quite the charmer

But it comes easily to them

Has recognizable energy

That people gravitate towards

Especially in the time of logical needs

And leadership

Idealistic

Diplomatic

Extremely patient

Ingenious

Romantic

Soft-spoken

Intuitive in relationships

All of the above

Are accurate of me as a human

And as a soul 

So perhaps

Black crows aren't

Evil after all

Food for thought
