In leaves no step had trodden black”
I spied a crow with a broken wing
Desperately trying to speak or sing
I lifted it carefully in my hand
Its vibrant feathers now dull and bland
A gasping breath, a whispered sound
And then it was gone, heaven bound
I lay it back on the ground
Made leaves a solemn wreath surround.
