Pathfinder

 I saw one day

A lonely wolf fighting the coldness

With his teeth and claws

In war with the moths

Roamed through the frosted groves and clumps

And feast with the Ice Queen as the sky slowly faded to gray

Trapped in chains

His name is Santiago.

This is the way, he is a Pathfinder

He drank once

The blood of the imortal northern stars

And slept in a bed

Made of cinnamon, moss and musk

Begin to hunt and had the body trespassed for tusks

I saw it all when the crimsom Aldebaran shine upon me in the dusk.

This is the way, follow the Pathfinder

And one day

I dreamt of a realm untold

When Santiago and a strange Naiad runned through Eritrea

Followed a red mist into the woods

Under the multicolored light of Cassiopeia.

Silence, hear the call of the Pathfinder

He breathed the industrial smoke and ate crude and bloody flesh

Trimmed his beard and nails to caress the days passed

The bleak moon smiled to him

And he felt satisfied and warm

Because the moon and the stars leaded the way

To the way of Pathfinder

Stopped and ate the rotten scaly fishes

Swan and crossed the acid rivers

Felt fear when the shadows start dancing

But that’s only the twilight and the mirror of soul that he saw

Santiago hearken so

The Wilderness call.

Beware with the evil within,  Pathfinder

 Other night i slept again so the azure Antares shine upon my occluded eyes.

And like a storm wind he came to me again in a hell wain filled with strange carved draws of sirens and dragons

Told  me a few the tales of his life

The Pathfinder

Scars embedded in his face

The pendant in his neck

Crude leather and gold threads

Wrought by Ilmarinen and several Spirits of the Air

He said to me: Don’t stop i still want to roam, that’s what Pathfinders are for.

Now he’s keeping his course

The northern lands

To find a Naiad and love

War and core

Deep still remain

The will to astray

On women, legends and folklore

And most of all, the human’s disease need a cure

Now the northern winds blows hard and bitter in Santiago’s Heart

All wrapped in furs.
