5: Alone Into Eternity

Somewhere beneath the light
That shimmers in the night
Fighting their way
Through a landscape
Barren
Cold
A landscape scarse and old
A mystery untold What happened
To these people

Noone’s been more alone
Than you before your death
Frostbitten feet
In the darkness
In defeat
Writing notes before your sleep
A memory to keep
In the frozen distant

Forever
By the shore
Where oscillating pack ice
Gently flows
On and on
The frozen rivers
Cuts through mountains
Calves and thaw away
Changing seasons
Endless winters
Melt
