Waiting

Triptykon

Under stars enthroned, far above
As the forest drowns in black snow
Under stars enthroned, I shall serve
And the ice consumes the world below
There exists no life around me
Though I sense I'm not alone
I am yielding to the darkness
And the wind a lonely voice
Black snow
Under stars enthroned
Infinite sky
Every step I take, life recedes
Under stars enthroned, everlasting night
And the cold prevails beneath
There exists no life around me
I am seeking my reflection
I resign to my extinction
In this ocean of black snow
Deep within my tortured flesh I remain alive
I long for my demise, in this world contrived
Everything I once was and once defined
I'm too blind to perceive the blindness in my mind
