Dark feathers ruffle
Shadows flutter overhead
Chilly breeze
Step forward
Gravel crunch
Spreading of wings
Webs of coal
Descend downy netting
Trapper of air and light
Up the black smudge
Essence of darkness
Rise aloft
Skim the delicate current
Tear the silken strings of daybreak
Eyes of prayer turn upwards
Beware
The raven flies at dawn

oooohhhhhh ravens. I always think of ravens as evil little creatures. Dunno why just do. Good scarey write.

The ending had a very nice closure feeling, although the pace of the poem overall seemed too fast, if that makes any sense. Maybe it's just the way I'm reading it. Anyway, good imagery and lovely ending.
