"She's No Scarecrow" by Carl B Parker

Introduction

Carl B Parker is an amazing artist, husband of the wonderful Misty Rae, and this is another amazing piece by him that spoke to me, with its almost Poe-like darkness.

This is my fifth piece inspired by Carl's work. You can find him on Facebook here:

This is a zejel

The music is "Lady In Black" by Uriah Heep

In Black She Stands Without A Face

She Gave Up On The Human Race

The Crows, Her Friends In This Dark Place

๐Ÿ–ค๐Ÿ”ฎ๐Ÿ–ค

She Stands Still In The Moonless Night

By Rusted Rails She Has No Sight

She Is Shunned In Her Semi Life

To The Crows, A Queen Of Dark Grace

Of All Things She's The Living End

In Living Robes, She Does Portend

The Crows Being Her Only Friends

She Offer A Mystic Embrace

Is She A Witch Or Sorceress?

Those Who See Her, Are So Distressed

The Lady Of The True Darkness

She Is A Vision Now Erased
