Song of the Raven Queen (floodwater mix)

Inspired by a line in one of the many books I read while laid up with a recent back injury.

Song of The Raven Queen

As The Fool set sail in an old milk pail
To fetch the Moon’s reflection
The Mountains stood as of course they should
And offered no protection

So his course was laid and he was unafraid
As he sailed into illusion
And the Mountains cried though they stood aside
And pitied his confusion

And as it was foretold in the prophecy of old
He was one whose treasure was not gold

Then The Raven Queen, she began to sing
Of wind and wood and water
A sudden rain came hard and without regard
Swept away what lay before her

In the morning light the birds told by flight
That someone would soon arrive
And as the noon sun burned the Fool returned
Empty handed but alive

And as it was foretold in the prophecy of old
He was one whose treasure was not gold
And as it was foretold only one man could grow old
One man to serve The Raven Queen
