ARCTIC WIND

The Arctic Wind bites into my neck Silver, severing, shifting, freezing air Cutting down, cutting up, cutting along Invisible card in nature`s deck
Fresh-chilled in a place, godforsaken Carried from and to icy oblivion Go blizzard in another quarter I may be shivering but will not be taken
Desperate tumbling, mad Arctic Wind Go home and blow here no more Lift-off rooves, raise waves, ground crops But find no opportunity with me and my kind
Un-trampled I defy you to snuff my strut Un-weathered, I defy you to wear me down Un-numbed, I deny you my bones for freezing Un-ending wind, I deny you my door to bang shut
