In infinite whiteness, among icy veils Where boundless plains follow the northern sky's trails Where boundless plains follow the northern sky's trails At the neck of nowhere, a transcendent place Where rain merges with snow in delicate grace My spirit adrift in silent flight Immersed in the beauty of shimmering light My heart pounds beneath the starlit dome Shrouded in affection, forever home The primordial drama where our lives unfold With whispers of sagas yet to be told Where mountains and streams hum their ancient song I belong, forever, in solitude strong Beneath the celestial awning, I stand Absorbed by the grandeur of nature's command At the neck of nowhere, a transcendent place Where rain merges with snow in delicate grace Forever embraced by the stars' tender glow Withdrawn in it's splendour, my life force will flow In the cold distance where forever resides I will blend with the essence that nature provides At the neck of nowhere, a transcendent place, oh-oh Where rain merges with snow in delicate grace, oh-oh At zenith, I watch as the Earth meets the sky Profoundest of unions, quintessence of "I" Forever embraced by the stars' tender glow Withdrawn in it's splendour, my life force will flow In the cold distance where forever resides I will blend with the essence that nature provides

Raging storms thrash the coast of our land The wild water beats, our vessels command The seas bellow deep, fierce, and wild Yet their whipping waves lift us, beguiled From threats, they call, to waters mild From threats, they call, to waters mild In the land of the Northern light's gleam Jade flows above like a lucid stream White trails below, stitch an icy seam Through naked plains, they twist and beam We walk our paths, the maps in our blood Fathers and sons, in the absence of god Fathers and sons, in the absence of god Under the heavens, with stars ablaze We witness the glimmer, the emerald haze Ever-shifting skies, like an artist’s brush A masterpiece of light with each celestial rush We walk our paths, the maps in our blood Fathers and sons, in the absence of god The starlit sky, our undying guide We march our stitches, our spirits abide Under the heavens, with stars ablaze We witness the glimmer, the emerald haze Ever-shifting skies, like an artist's brush A masterpiece of light with each celestial rush The starlit sky, our undying guide We march our stitches, our spirits abide Under the heavens, with stars ablaze We witness the glimmer, the emerald haze Ever-shifting skies, like an artist's brush A masterpiece of light with each celestial rush Fathers and sons, in the absence of god

In realms of reason's perplexing guise Oh, where logic's chains shatter, yeah, new questions arise I wander amidst our conundrums deep Where boulders and mountains form reason's keep Sisyphus' boulder Absurdity, enigma crowned Sisyphus' boulder A paradox, all reason's drowned Sisyphus' boulder A cosmic jest, a taunting spree Sisyphus' boulder Meaning's demise, void of intellectuality We are one We are one No grand design, and no purpose clear Purpose clear Just fleeting momеnts in a tumultuous sphere Tumultuous spherе Our cosmos draped, such a solemn stage Solemn stage Confusion rattling existence's cage Oh, beautiful thinker, the fervent flame I seek thy muse now, to join this game (Thinker, guide my quill, roll the rock up the hill Own your futility, the only way to be free) To weave these stanzas, both strange and grand Both strange and grand Unraveling Un, un, unraveling Unraveling Un, un, unraveling Hostages in absurdity's domain Embrace the chaos, release the pain Absurdism, the poet's creed Where reason fades and wills succeed Oh, thinker's spirit, never cease to inspire Let's dance with chaos and never tire So let's dance with chaos and never tire Let's dance with chaos and never tire Sisyphus' boulder

The wild lingers in the tapestry of time Where nature's wonder slowly does unfold See lands adrift, their grand, unbroken rhyme As seas, their waves, sing mourning tales of cold The wild lingers, an ageless melody On wings of leaves, speaks so eloquently Within the tapestry, threads interlace Guiding us to nature's soft embrace The wild lingers in ancient forests grand Ripe with the stories only trees can hold Thеir gnarled branches curl like agеless hands Their wisdom deep in roots both strong and old For in these hidden realms, where wisdom sleeps We find ourselves with wildness intertwined The wild lingers, an ageless melody On wings of leaves, speaks so eloquently Within the tapestry, threads interlace Guiding us to nature's soft embrace So let us listen now, with soul and mind So let us listen now, with soul and mind To songs of history from primeval deeps Undying howls of beasts, both great and small Each adding voices to the forest's call In the embrace of green, where time stands still Immerse ourselves in nature's sound, we will The wild lingers, an ageless melody On wings of leaves, speaks so eloquently Within the tapestry, threads interlace Guiding us to nature's soft embrace

Where barren mountains rise Soft echoes roam the moonless night A canvas, snow-powdered white A wave supreme of daunting Arctic light Far, far away from any noise The solar wind starts whispering its call to court Behold the answer of the true northern gods Magnetospheric turbulence to guide your heart Northward, we stray In open terrain Vast expanses of icy terrain My domain I find solace, profound in our lore Where frosted tales resound forever more It's what my very essence yearns to see Where desolation holds its strange allure Northward, we stray Vast expanses of icy terrain We find solace, profound in our lore Where frosted tales resound forever more It's what our very essence yearns to see Where desolation holds its strange allure Far away Far from any noise Far away The solar wind starts whispering its call to court Far away Behold the answer from the true northern gods Far away Where barren mountains rise Soft echoes roam the moonless night A canvas, snow-powdered white A wave supreme of daunting Arctic light I find solace profound in our lore Where frosted tales resound forever more It's what my very essence yearns to see Where desolation holds its strange allure In the aurora's dance, an opus weaves With notes only a northerner retrieves Northerner retrieves Away from summer's damp embrace Vast boundaries we've torn, seeking space Northward, we wander, drawn by the untamed Where frozen whispers kiss the wind's refrain Amidst the harshest beauty, we endure Embracing the cold and pure Here we are under the stellar dome of stars Try take command, there's nothing you can do Too big or small to change the fact That here and now defines the truth So humble up Take the reins and let go The doom of every legend ever calling you Through the mycorrhizal symbiosis, me and you Either way Left is right today Up is down, it's all the same to me Embracing the untamed, the cold, the pure Until reality comes knocking at the door Then I see Who I am Who you are, in this moment The only place to be, to live until released To shape the mountains for posterity
