Sitting on the brace strut

Made of back of birch

Crafted with the skill

Of countless generations

Sitting on the brace strut

Wandering deep in thoughts

A custom of the elders

For food of body and mind

Sitting on the brace strut

Reaching a silent key

To open the inner eye

For heathen harmony

Sitting on the brace strut

Traveling in the blood

Northern meditation

In wintry solitude
