Nonexistence

The polar sun protrudes
Through the frozen wilderness
As the endeavours of the silent wanderer
Summon in vain
Cease to exist as the blood crystallizes
Blending with snow
I am there; I was here - in Nature's fierce trap

The flesh is frozen
Covered by layers of numbling snowflakes
Assail at this square of ice
Amidst the enervating worlds
A dream of endurance torn to pieces
Hollow and in vain
This is my last passage
Through the state of being sane

Equal to nonexistence, drifting away
Untamed courses, swifts astray
To another time, to another bay
To a nonexistence...

At the top of the world, yet in deepest sorrow
The endeavouring character of cruelty and Jove
The brilliance of death, the pursuant of life
Rumbling at this square of my deterioration

The polar moon protrudes
Through the frozen wilderness
I am amonst the pale, frozen haze, like a dream
The light weakens upon the sea of everlast
Yet the horizon is crystal bright
The air cold and light

Equal to nonexistence, drifting away
Untamed courses, swifts astray
To another time, to another bay
To a nonexistence...
