Tears of crows - Limited Edition of 4 Print

Tears of crows " The days are long, the nights are longer. Time seems to have been frozen in place. The world is grey as is my heart. The color of clouds that do not part. I welcome the mood of this sullen day. Strangely now there arrives a pair of crows. They do not call out as crows are wont to do. They follow me silently. I wonder why. Their presence intrigues me, for this is most peculiar. As I walk through these woods, remembering our life together, my heart is filled with tears I cannot shed. We used to walk hand in hand, until we could not. It is difficult to hold your hand as I pushed the chair in which you sat, or even as I walked beside you as you rode upon your scooter. And now there is no hand to hold. Strangely now there arrives a pair of crows. They do not call out as crows are wont to do. They follow me silently. I wonder why. Their presence intrigues me, for this is most peculiar. I wander along and continue to ponder the reason you no longer accompany me. But now as my heart overflows and my eyes begin to fill, the clouds begin to drop their burden of moisture, and the crows begin to cry, their tears falling down upon my face. No one can say that I cannot weep, but no one can tell that I did or did not as the tears of my eyes are mixed with the tears of the crows. What is longing, when there is loss? Let's thank the Lord for the experience. Do not mourn my passing. Instead celebrate our life together, and the love that we shared. Know that you will always be loved.
