Cold Truth Poem by soren Barrett

Cold Truth

Of all the songs I've heard it is the night bird that has the loneliest word
On the dark breeze does sail her tale with a mournful wail
From beneath the lees of a dead tree's leaves come her pleas
Cold eggs rest in a bare nest no longer warmed by a parent's breast
Her lifelong mate has met his fate now warming the dinner plate
