New beloved poem:

Cathedral Skies, by Seanan McGuire.

I have seen the ravens dancing
Underneath cathedral skies;
They catch the future in their wingbeats,
While the wind beneath them cries
Inventing grace, forever singing
A dirge for everything that's left behind.
I will let them sing my threnodies
When all I've been is dust and dreams;
I will let them be my keepers,
For I'm sure they know the way
To break the bonds that hold back heaven,
Take my hands and take me home.
There are worse things I could do
Than dare to trust a dancer.
