Song Bird - Debra Konen - "Raven"

Song Bird - "Raven" inspired by the song Raven by Jewel

Raven

Jewel

Fly like a raven
Black honey into the night
Soft like the air beneath
A swan in her flight
Then return back home to bed
Bring the dancing stars
Sleep and dream of a white wolf howling
And know that I am near

Shh,
Close your eyes
Don't ask why
Let's dream together you and I
Oh, close your eyes
We will fly
Dreaming together you and I

The moon has sailed
In a silver gown of stars
That's long but not forever
Soon our love will rise as mine
And sing to the shadows
Tomorrow we shall rise with the dawn
Kiss the flowers and blooms
But now lie still as the wind and listen
For I will come to you with the foot steps of morning

Shh,
Close your eyes
Don't ask why
Let's dream together you and I
Ohh,
Close your eyes
We can fly
Dreaming together you and I
Dream,

Recently my daughter had a baby girl, Emberly Lou. I have been listening to lullaby music with her and found a lullaby album by Jewel. One of her songs on the album is entitled, Raven. I love the lyrics and created this as a reaction to those words. I kept this very simple. 

I used a rust dyed piece of fabric I created a while back. I wrote the words: 'dream', 'fly', 'sleep' on the fabric to represent their significance in the song lyrics. The raven is a drawing I created, cut and traced on the fabric and then added the thread painting with my machine to add depth and color to the Raven.
