BIRD OF TRUTH

I sailed the seven seas of sorrow
To the lake of silver tears
Found myself in the dead forest
Where sunlight scorns the trees

I lay myself on withered grass
I bled into the weeds
I begged as black things scuttled by
That I might find some peace

I wept my way through many years
I wished that I could die
But the cold grey moon
It answered not, it left me there to cry

I made my way down hopeless path
Bitterness, my only friend
When the rotten brambles pricked at me
I screamed without an end

Twas there the bird of truth flew by
And led me by the hand
He told me I must follow him
Towards a better land

He led me to the cliffs of doom
The bird did bid me fly
He told me that the choice was mine
I could live or I could die

I had no wings to carry me
No courage for a cloak
I had no faith to cling to
No love, no friend, no hope

But the truth was bare and I did see
That the bird of truth was wise
For only one could save me
Only I, could cause my rise.
Marion Price (2019)
