this is very well written, anupam, you did an excellent job writing this free verse poem about the journey of the soul that death takes it on. I enjoyed reading it, great imagery presented here

Wow, if I had a six you would have it. I liked your author notes: Death isn't always sinister, nor should it be. The ode you have written, while lengthy, flows well with content that maintains the interest of the reader.
Oh, resplendent raven
you are an angel in disguise
you carry over souls
to the hallowed Heaven.
Well penned, :-) Carolyn

The raven does not always symbolize the darkness of evil, as well-expressed in your ode to this sable bird;
Good alliteration of:
"bloodless ballerina:
"silver shades" -- also provide visual imagery of an eerie transformation.
Excellent!

My friend, this is quite powerful, and very comforting to any who read it with an open mind. It's not in a discernible meter, but I'm reading it as if that was your intent. Well done.

Temptation is found scattered throughout the Bible -- From Genesis to Revelation; the beginning and the end. We should remain vigilant.

This is a poem that goes from the fear of death to the hope of everlasting pain-free life. It seems to be of a person dying of cancer or some other painful ending that leads to a better place.

Well written and formatted.

Keep writing
