Weird Fears from Childhood
Skadi Snow Apr 2014
When I was very young
I was afraid of my own shadow.

When I saw the shadow on the ground
I began to scream and ran to my mom.
She always picked me up and calmed me down.

You could say, I was just a stupid kid.
But I think it is actually very profound.

The Raven Feather
Skadi Snow Apr 2014
The Raven Feather was a gift.
I told you to look at this feather
whenever you're longing for me.

I couldn't stay.
The master was calling.
Haunted me in my dreams.
Commanded me to return.

So I turned around.
Raven feathers sprouted out of me.
And I flew into the dawn.

I still haven't forgot you..
I'm just waiting
for the opportunity
to run away
to defeat the master
to break the curse
to fly over borders into life.

Until then
Remember me.
I shall return!
Remember me.
When you hold the Raven Feather in your hand.
Inspired by "Krabat" by  Otfried Preußler (German Author)

Soul Masks
Skadi Snow Apr 2014
Dear my Soulmate,
Do you remember who you are?
Do you remember your own face?
Me neither..

We share a soul
But not a face
And honestly
I don’t trust mirrors..

So let's build so many masks
Until you recognize
One as your own countenance.

Because then, darling
We can switch our masks
And share entirely our lifes.

Labyrinth
Skadi Snow May 2014
Left, right, straight ahead.
You are in the Labyrinth.
They want you. They will get you.
Their ice cold eyes are haunting you.

Blacker than the darkness clears a shadow every light.
Can you feel the hands reaching out for you?
They have implanted themselves into your head.
You're crawling away. But even if you would run..

Left, right, straight ahead. You are in the Labyrinth.
You can keep crawling.. lurching.. running away..
But deep down inside you already know

Nobody will ever see you again.
Nowhere are you really safe.
Never will you get out of here.

In The Human Ocean
Skadi Snow Apr 2014
I dive in the human sea.
Only a small water drop
In the dripping crowd.

The infinite ocean rages
The endlessly mass rears up
Like a gathering thunderstorm.
Seething, sinister alike as soothing.

The thundering, mighty tsunami
devours me, wreathes me,
lets me be a part of
the force of nature,
gives me strength,
makes me feel like
I'm invincible.

I drift and float
Until I'm weightless
And drowned..

Between Light and Darkness
Skadi Snow Apr 2014
There is this moment.

After hectic hours in the daylight.
The view minutes after the landscape
was painted in the splashing colors of sunset.

Before some people fall asleep
Or break out in an insane serenity
Caused by the feeling of being incognito
Under the invisibility cloak of the night.

There is a moment of placidity.
When the last rays of sunlight
Battle with the first stars
For the ******* of the sky.
When the shadows grow longer
And blur between light and darkness.

When the surroundings are dim-lit
I am the most alive.
The silence makes me hear.
The monochrome paints make me see.

I step out of the penumbra
And vanish in the outlines of the world.

Until the last spark
Skadi Snow Apr 2014
Children of Fire
Clans from near and far
The time has come.

The ominous is approaching.
Soon everyone of us
Will fear to be in the end
The last of our kind.

So rise up!
Stand together!
As allies.
As brothers and sisters.
Follow the call!

So that we can ignite
One last time
Like a phoenix
From the ashes
Bevor we expire forever.

Away
Skadi Snow Apr 2014
Let's get out!
Now.
Just You and Me.

Away from all the trivialities
Which drag us down.
All the irrelevant issues
Which won't let us sleep.

Just drive away. You and Me.
Turn the radio on.
Watch the scenery passing by.

The memories of our songs.
Flashing in front of our eyes.
You are smiling,  humming a new song.
It is so happy and peaceful.
Like home.

Further and Further
The car takes us away from the past.
The music let us forget our sorrows.

Let's get into the car
And drive
Away..
Would you?

The North Star
Skadi Snow Apr 2014
When the night falls
The crystal clear diamond of the sky
Rises far over the horizon
Of the deep blue deserted sea.

The North Star who shows us the way.
As the brightest of all the stars
He glows silent on the gigantic firmament.

The eternal light of the North Star
Touches our old gray souls
Gives us the power of the
Ancient long-forgotten gods.

Far away there is still so much.
Be our vigil and take us home.

— The End —
