Starlight flickering

A fire in the night

Human misery

The ultimate source of strength

Peripheral glimmering

Of the growing flames

Hibernation

Veins hot with eternal blood

The subtle sound

Pyre crackling

Drifts of snow

Slowly melting away

And returning to ice

Surrounded by steam

Inhaling nocturnal fog

Beasts howling at the moon

Nature buried under snow

Breathing silently

Under the frost

Under the frost

Hibernation

Might veiled for centuries

Sleeping with passion and patience

To be once awakened

By malicious call

Of a starless eternity

An entity free of form

Darkness without breath
