Neverending Winter from Neverending Winter by Cailleach

Deep down, above a starlit sky.
Far up, below the meadows where Pleiades die.

I have searched a legend beneath dead winter waves
(you have searched a legend...)
For all this time I have yearned for solace
(all this time you have yearned...)
Now I have entered the world where no humans tread
(now you ent- mans- tread-)
I have found the source of the call
(you have found the source...)

Euphoria embraces me as I fly through this ever dark night-sky.

Beneath my eyes fraudful ponds lay still,
unawakened by my entrance.
I feel a warmth rush through me,
as I see that I have indeed reached infinity.

A breeze catches my hair,
reminding me of once forgotten senses.
Unsure of what is to come,
I try to lay down amongst the Pleiad corpses...
but I stop in mid-motion.
I've stepped on something cold and in panic, I shiver.

I behold a star that was trapped under my toe,
and as I feel a few more land on my skin, I realise:
I've found the first crystal of the eternal snow.

I've brought the cold.
Just like the Groak I've brought the frost,
and I shall never...
I shall never become warm again.
