Writing from the heart...

Ode to the North
Oh the North at night is a beautiful sight
When the green fire flames overhead
And the snow sets to gleaming
Like anything, seeming
Like crystalline tears being shed
 
The stars shine so bright—what a cascade of light
Sky diamonds matching the snow
Though the cold may be bitter
The icicles glitter
A beauty that few people know
 
Behind the black silhouette of a thousand trees set
Against that God’s-fire sky
Somewhere on the trails
A lonesome wolf wails
The song of the North is his cry
 
Where mountains of stone, like some old god’s bones
Score Heaven’s floor with their peaks
It’s the land of the lost
And whatever the cost
The Northman will find what he seeks
 
Be it refuge or solace or beauty that calls us
To the great white expanse where we roam
We love to be free
So it’s easy to see
That the North will forever be home.
