Arctic Heart

In Arctic worlds

I have roamed,

where fettered hearts

leave shields unfold.

Bitter reunions

leave unrest,

when hope fades

and doubt remains.

Through countless seasons have I known

the wandered edge of glacial cold

a yearning to flee

a wanting to know

a stirring heart

to love must go.

From Arctic worlds

I have roamed,

where glaciers melt

and water flows,

love no longer mourns withhold.
