I am as black as a raven

Against the brightest moon

I venture, seeking solace

Taken from me, too soon

Ebony night, speak to me

Let peace and tranquility abound

Shadows enveloping, sheathing

Their spirits dance, profound

A settling calm, stormless

Sends me deeper into the vast

I am no longer searching

The darkness has claimed me

At last
