She is waiting for you, I heard him caw
As they gathered in the trees
Circling a cobbled wall
Ivy covered with crimson leaves
So I took the unknown path
Trusting those sweet, ravenous thieves
Never wanting to look back
Wearing adventure on my sleeves
He led the way through brambled vines
The path before unclear to see
Losing about all track of time
He circled back to check on me
Pushing me on, into the brush
Colors exploding in the trees
Petrichor filling my lungs
His melody hung in the breeze
Tree trunks dressed in blackened bark
Accentuating mystery
The countdown of seasonal clocks
And Mother Nature’s tapestry
Branches broke and snapped away
Exposing fields fully ablaze
Falls and streams creating paths
Re-homing thin blankets of haze
Peeled away by sunlight's glow
Highlighting colors without name
That's simply how October goes
and every night the ravens came
