The Moon and Sun are gone from us, and all the stars withdraw

Leaving us mere reflections of astral light

As the twilight groves behind grow out of sight

I, in blind fury, in malevolent wrath

Flee through the archways of self-deceit

Into the starlit lands beyond the gate

Where the sculptures of ice and snow await me

Northwards my paths took me, unto realms where all hope forsook me

Tumbling befallen, I was at loss on these paths everdark!

Shivering, in tears I beheld the sight of shocking brilliance starbright

with shimmering beams of fragmented light

In the everwhite whirlpool of the Celestial Keeper

Wavering in the high domes above,

She is the astral flow upon the firmanent in evermotion

She is the heavenly eidolon of beauty - and despair -

high above these merely mortal realms

Northstar - in solitude, in unspeakable forms manifested unto me!

Polestar, my perpetual Goddess who calls out to us

Yet how could I ever begin to grasp

the might that overcomes all borders and limits of existence?

How could I ever be alike the celestial ones

that are free of all sorrows of substance?

The passing of my heart is at hand

into the vaults of the nightly sky

to dance with the four winds and the gods and goddesses of the stars

Lovesick and compelled to leave behind these lands I bid farewell

Let thee well die

For I join immortal ornaments of the heavens above

as a new day dawns on the mortal lands

beyond the sight of the Celestial Keeper.
