Crystal Abyss

First Born Snow

Crystal Abyss


The snow fell, as it was born by Winter... 
Trees in black naked beauty 
Came singing a praise. 
And hiding their gold, like greedy gnome 
Is burying his treasure, dance snow. 
Winter covered their frozen roots 
With the pillow of tender haze, 
Under which the grass fell into glassy sleep, 
Entering generous bliss. 
Mountains replied to me greeting the Queen 
Of blowing winds and ice-crystal worlds, 
And her flying servants that are never seen 
Were carrying the leaves as they came on the Earth. 
Whistling like trumpet on funeral act 
Grey blizzard came releasing white snakes, 
And myriad of warriors in sparkling white dresses 
Were carrying the tongues of the saints on the stakes. 
White spears and swords 
Ripped off angels' hearts, 
Cold was freezing their wings. 
And night slowly fell 
On forest beneath 
Like fingers of bard on the strings - 
On forest lying under 
Mountains of mine, 
Under wind, whispering legends of time... 
And ice-storm along 
With the Children of woods 
Sang joyful and furious rhymes. 
...As abused angels left the Earth 
The call of freedom started its way !!! 
I was going on other side 
Of sacred new day 
To infinity of blinding black mass 
Absorbing the mind. 
I was going on other side 
Of dying sun's heat 
To icy and frozen nature 
Absorbing saints' lives. 
And I saw burning shadows of the past 
Along with endless and fathomless lakes. 
...And the snow fell as it was born by Winter...
