Mea Amica, Corva

You have much you could teach me.
I have much I could teach you.
Neither of us is ready.
Or do we hold back in fear?

You like me.
I like you.
Neither of us is in a good place for that.
Is it safe to say a good place will never be found?

You are a cradle I found safe;
I would return ev'ry night if possible.

You are the leaves;
Free with the wind,
But can be stopped by small things.

You are the running mountain water.
Cold at a glance,
Warm within.
Carving its own path.

But you are not the ringing bell.
Commanding. Bossy.
The icon of the church (building).

I too am not the Bell.

I can be the light at the end of the tunnel,
Or I can chose to be a hidden mine;
Tread carefully.

I am the lone wolf.
I never find a place perfect for me.
I howl at the stars; they are my friends.

But I am certainly not fire;
You are fire.
Fascinating and magnetic,
Yet requiring caution and
A steady hand to preserve the power.
