About this listen

Ask Raven.
For the wise one listens,
and answers with song from winter waters
where memory drifts and clings.

Each year, as the cold tightens its grip on Lake Michigan,
sailors speak of a ship that never finished its voyage.
A schooner bound with evergreen trees.
A deck glowing softly in snow and fog.
Seen only at night.
Gone by morning.

Some say it is a ghost ship.
Some say it is caught in a loop —
forever returning,
forever unfinished.

In this Ask Raven short,
I circle above the lake and tell the tale
of the Christmas Tree Ship
and the silence that follows her wake.

Listen closely.
Winter remembers what the water keeps.

What you forget, Raven remembers.
Through fire and embers, Raven remembers.
Nevermore. Nevermore. Nevermore.
