Kathryn Lasky Quote
The time has come,The claws are passed.An old owl rests,A die’s been cast.It is a war for heart, Gizzard and mind.The weapons they wield, More deadly than mine.A blade draws blood, a fire burns.But with the flecks, a mind unlearns.A soul unhinges,And then a gizzard quakes and cringes.Senses dull,Reason scatters.The heart grows numb,An owl shatters.But these six owls are strong and bold,And their story has not yet been told.
