as I gazed into the reflection
the only thing I saw was darkness
and silence
the night calls me to take me home
the trees whisper secrets to my ears
the moss on the ground talks to me
the owls sing their wisdoms
to disappear from this world
to find serenity
embrace the eternal shadow
find your inner self
drown and resurface again
and breathe the moonlight
the cold is not to be feared
beware not the touch of nature
one finds peace among the spirits
a nocturne forever shall be played
an absence of mortal desire
the flow of blood brings no pain
forever you've been there
but never there resided
the longing for serenity
that you've felt for so long
it's always been inside you
in these trees, in this soil
embrace the eternal shadow
gaze into the moon
we are but mere servants
there dwells enlightment

Those Who Are Long Gone

far in the north
lies the ancient sea
there the crone of ice prowls the land
they whose breath has departed
shall her join and wander forever
they ride on the field of stars
they journey through the stream
mortal flesh their soul departs
but never the soil underneath
when scorned rise shall the dead
prey they shall on the misfortuned ones
and horror eternal cause
you've heard the raven's crow
destruction has it borne
foul times are upon us
these lands will turn to ash
the lady of the north now here reigns
life vanishes from your limbs
your flower has withered
only cold moveless fluid in your veins
the dour blissful scent of death
will forever loom over this land
only those in the know
can it perish from this soil
as sure as those cursed ones
who kill the swan
this earth shall face misfortune
and face the gates of oblivion
ride on the bird's path
swim as swans on the river
the icy ground thee devours
meet those whose souls are long gone

On a frozen mountainside, an old man stands and watches down
At the world below him, and the rays of the rising Sun
No past to bother him, no fear comes from within
Just a breeze and the sparkling ice, in the light of the newborn Sun
Cold winds forever blast these savage peaks of aeons past
Black gravel, glacier, for more than the eye can see
They were fools to try their hand, to conquer this frozen land
Goddess shall not be ired, as soon shall we all it see
Lined up like men of war
Blaspheming at Heaven's door
Sun ablaze like a wyvern's breath
Ascending to certain death
Burning desire
Frozen in heart
Flaming like pyre of preposterous art
No grave but snow
for those who will die
Forever they'll be
betwixt the land and the sky
Icy rain
Infernal pain
Lost in where dark spirits reign
Avalanches roar, trembling one to bone
And he's left all alone
On a frozen mountainside, old man stands and watches down
At the world below him, and the rays of the rising Sun
His limbs have gone numb, his awareness is going down
Just a breeze and the sparkling ice, and the light of the newborn Sun

The Ardent Passage

Morning light,
Surging through the coldness of the void,
So pure and radiant,
Undimmed in the brink of primal morn.
Rays of light,
Racing far beyond the reach of time.
So bright and blinding,
Sparkling in the mists of a world unborn.
The swirls of mist,
Grow longer, shaping into sprawling roots,
Ever writhing,
Twisting down into the darkness.
August branches,
Enclose deep within a mighty stalk,
Ever growing,
Reaching far into the frozen light.
What secrets lie hidden?
What knowledge untapped?
Between every fiber,
Spread in every branch,
Deep beneath the bark.
Come autumn,
And open the first cone,
And from that cone,
Fall the very first seeds.
Of one will come,
The moon and stars.
Of the other,
The land and the deepest woods.
Ill winds rise,
And whisk away a third seed,
And from that seed,
Will grow the first of mankind.
Look up and see,
The Moon and stars!
Now behold,
The land and the deepest woods!
What secrets lie,
Within these woods?
What knowledge untapped,
Hidden deep beneath the bark?
The life-tales of an ancient spruce,
One whose needles have basked,
In the light of the dawn of times.
Last remnants of an abandoned legacy,
Now to be cast in fire.
Hear the weeps,
Of agony and a grievous fate,
As amber tears,
Crackle under the hungry flames.
Tales untold,
Power from ages past,
Now burning,
In the cauldron of times to come.
Gleaming embers,
Still glowing underneath the coals.
Yet not a memory remains,
Of truth untold,
Wisdom of olden days.
Rise from the cinders,
The breeze of a new dawn.
Ja hiilien hohteessa,
kun savu sekoittuu usvaan,
edessäni avautuvat,
menneen maailman salat.
Häilyvinä ne kohoavat yöhön,
tuulenvireestä hälveten,
kadoten viimein iäksi,
latvustojen uumeniin.
Tulkoon maailmaan uusi aika,
Valon aika,
jonka kirkkaus korventaa ahot,
ja haihduttaa tuhannet järvet.
Väistykööt ikimetsät tulevan tieltä,
ja tulvikoon uuden aamun sarastus,
aarniomaiden varjoihin.

The unbroken blue, with its ambigous hue
Quietly waiting ere imminent doom
How can calmness be louder than thunderous storm
Absence devour like ravenous swarm
All of my life I've spent on these shores
Ravishing views I've grown to abhor
Gargantuan cliffs divided by streams
Odious shapes that used to be dreams
The shade of the sky grows darker than night
Cerulean glimpses escape with the light
Eerie howls raise waves from the depths
Harmonized dance like eldritch breath
And though so loud roars the thunder
and waves they tear the shores asunder
I feel certain calmness in place of the fear
This stormy weather, it's shockingly dear
Tuulet
Tuulesta aallot
Aalloista kuulen
Raivon kaukaisen
Raivo
Raivossa kaiku
Kaiussa luonto
Tai ihminen
Aallot
Aaltoihin vaivun
Vaivun syvyyksiin
Ja pimeyteen
Pimeys
Pimeyden rauha
Rauhassa kaipuu
Tyhjyyteen
The day and the night blend as one
And waves have now eclipsed the Sun
I'm becoming one with the yore
On my deathbed, the ocean floor
A mydriad bodies near me
Poor and rich, unable to flee
Some tried to ride with the waves
While the rest plunged to their graves
