Old Crow listened while God wept.
Crow flew across acres of twisted steel,
watched the grim smoke spiral up to heaven.
He flew over all the rooftops of all the world
and listened while the people wept.
Crow flew across the desolation
searching for that first olive tree,
the first white dove.
He flew back and forth
over the face of the troubled water
until his wings were stiff and sore,
his black glitter dulled.
Crow returned to his friend,
speechless and bewildered
Crow could only listen
while God wept.

Thanks for this, Ann. The allusion to Noah's ark works perfectly fine here.
Good work. Sue
