Singing Drum
In the rising dawn
ravens gathered
landed for centuries
on the candle flame tree limbs of creation
their nests a sacred mantra,
their voices calling
seven seeds of mystery,
their molted black wing feathers
discovered, only by a few
sometimes
their group laughter
could be heard
chasing a great horned owl
across the tamarack marsh
in the winter
they would dance
in the silent snow
some say raven
taught woodpecker
how to create
the Singing Drum.
