Crow

Date: 10/24/2016

for the 1st time I dreamt with some light. the sun was setting and I was out side with children. they weren't mine... I was a teacher but not in a typical sense. I taught them about life..the good the bad. to understand it all, but I never went out during the day. always night. I was taking care of the softest bird. he was a light blue with hinds of grey. oh his soul was beautiful. he was beautiful...something bad had happened to him to make him weak. I was nursing him back to health and I would take him with me on these trips with the kids. I had him always cupped in my hands. he stayed always in my hands. I assumed his wings were hurt because if you could fly why would you ever want to stay? a large black angry crow came. he started swooping down towards us and I'm not sure if he had gotten scared or.. I'm not sure but my sweet little blue soul bolted out of my hands. he darted me behind trees and power lines. it was getting so dark out that any object just was black but the sky was just a tint of blue. the crowd and my bird were fighting..I could hear them. I wanted my bird to win. to come back to me but I knew it was hopeless to hope. I knew the out come before the conflict ended. I told the kids to turn away and started to push them forward so they wouldn't see the tragedy my heart would soon have to face. I saw the crow land on a telephone pole wire while I pushed the kids forward. did my bird get away? did he win? please tell me he is free now. please... I saw the crow pick up his foot and in his talons held my bird. scared and out of breath. I couldn't reach him.. I knew it would be impossible. with in the seconds of thinking I watched crow dip his head forward into the chest of my beautiful blue bird and rip out a section of his intestines.. dangling from his mouth has begun to ingest the insides of my blue bird. my love. my heart. taken away and ripped apart before my eyes and forced to watch him be torn apart. that crow had my blue bird for dinner and my heart for dessert.
