Two Ravens 020

thought and memory
forward and reverse
shield and weaponry
salient and diverse

circling the world in the wink of a flame
serving the power of the word and the name

darkness and fire
expression and pain
doom and desire
both now and again

seeking the lost of the heart and the mind
sometimes in cloud or in torment or blind

witness and watcher
reflection and light
delight and torture
perception and sight

at the end of the world both shall arise
light born in darkness and out of disguise
