Natal Day
Benighted scene by the darkened lake
In the gloomfull, dispiriting black
Born from a mother not awake
Blood is the solitary track
Knife like rain in cuttings wind
Lashed against a dying mother's face
The owls sighed, the reaper grinned
Human scent, so easily traced
Harvester of the dead
Inescapably led
To her inalterable bed
Left on the soaked moss, her male child
Attracting the creatures of the woods
Some in fury, some beguiled
Greed gave triumph to the wolf
Taken to the damp and noisome lair
Fed on the flesh from his mater
Sleeping and waking, unaware
Evermore faithful, but a traitor
Cold, appalled, awaken
Never meant to be taken
By the harvester of the forsaken
In the gloomfull, dispiriting black
Born from a mother not awake
Blood is the solitary track
Knife like rain in cuttings wind
Lashed against a dying mother's face
The owls sighed, the reaper grinned
Human scent, so easily traced
Harvester of the dead
Inescapably led
To her inalterable bed
Left on the soaked moss, her male child
Attracting the creatures of the woods
Some in fury, some beguiled
Greed gave triumph to the wolf
Taken to the damp and noisome lair
Fed on the flesh from his mater
Sleeping and waking, unaware
Evermore faithful, but a traitor
Cold, appalled, awaken
Never meant to be taken
By the harvester of the forsaken
