Do crows have accents?

That may seem like a poor attempt at humor, but hear me out.  The crows in Ireland seem to sound different than the ones you find in the Great White North.  

In Ireland, their voices are softer, higher pitched.  In Canada, they are harsh, loud, and seem to be accusing us of forgetting.  Unlike Ireland, rich in history, mythology, and all the stories that go along with it, I find that we have cast aside the past in favor of progress.  

Are they screaming?  Using their harsh tone in an attempt to remind us?  Begging us to reconnect with the land and all who came before?

 

Corvids

Corvids take to the sky

surveying the landscape

as only they can

with generations of understanding

 

Stone walls

cascading down rolling hills of green

Cottages

changing hands

through the generations

 

Crumbling ruins

still withstanding

the test of time

The trees

whispering stories

hidden language

 

Corvids return to their home

to ponder the world

as only they can

through the eyes of ancients
