Celebration…
 
I am the secret whispered on the wind
I am the shadow in the bower
I am the tolling of the church bell
Upon the midnight hour
 
I am the blade that slices far too deep
I am the icy wind of autumn
I am the shadow of the summer sun
Across bitter plains of snow
 
I am the tears that mingle with the rain
I am the laughter in the iron
I am the smile that fades , a waking dream
In the blinding light of day
 
I am the gallows of guilt
I am the pit of despair
 I am the shimmer of hope
In the chill night air
 
I am the razor that bites
I am the silk of the night
I am a murder of crows
In endless flight
 
I am the warrior
I am the poet
I am the drifter
I am the raven…
