Literature Text

Lost in the darkness eternal,
You're drawn to the depths far beneath.
Around you the world seems infernal,
O daughter of sorrow and grief.

Rise from the still glowing ashes
And see how you should see the world,
Then walk from your tar-bleeding gashes,
So blooming in springtime unfurled.

Stand in the light where you're thawing,
As goddess of glaciers and snow.
You walk on the frontlines you're drawing,
O daughter of winter and woe.

Come to the pantheon's mountain
And follow the rays of the sun.
From ice grows a flourishing fountain
And lastly your prime has begun.

Death brings a whole new beginning,
What follows is always new life.
The cycle keeps turning and spinning,
You're reaching the stars through your strive.
Something that came to me in my sleep. ^^

Update 30. April 2017: Made a major overhaul, added two new stanzas and fixed the meter and verses.

It has a nice flow to it. This I love. Also like the rhymes in each stanza.
