Inspired by the sad passing of Robin Williams. When we lose someone who has affected our lives, we struggle to come to terms with the void left in this world. Within that struggle through disbelief and sadness, we can’t help but wish them back. For a moment, our imaginations can give us a sort of gift — a more beautiful, and palatable picture than the harsh reality before us. In my imagination, it is a robin leaving his flock, and flying off with crows. 

"Rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep." Romans 12:15

FLIGHT WITH THE CROWS

Oh, where did you go?
We all wanna know
It’s not like there’s a ruler
To measure your soul’s
Flight with the crows
To wherever, never, never

No, no, no
Not ready to let you go
And give up your ghost
So soon, so cheer up while you

Soar with the rest of them
Soar with the rest of them, my friend
Go soar with the rest of them
Soar with the rest of them, my friend
And tell all about it
When you come back to the round
Of robins again

The old little boy
Never grew out of his toys
To safeguard us a future
Where all of the joy
Forgot in the noise
Would always be remembered

Oh, oh, oh
We never will let them go
The memories, the coal-black wings
To lift us while you
