Starchild

Surrounded within the frozen tundra 

Where the sun hangs in darkness 

At all times of day

I look in front of me

Beyond the wintery winds 

Across a landscape of century old

Ice 

An old man looks at me 

He stands so tall

Whispers of death escaping him

Into the cruelty 

Of the winds echo

But 

I hold a fire within myself 

A small flame 

That's never faltered to the winds 

On my knees 

Frozen hands clenched into fists 

An eternal warmth 

Consumes me 

Starchild! 

Move towards distances unknown 

And be unafraid 

Of the relentless winter winds 

That seek to still you 

Starchild! 

Move across the ways 

Like a spark 

Tear asunder the darkness 

And fall down like a burning star 

Starchild! 

Nothing can champion you

There is no dearth in your heart

Only flames 

That burn forever
