Revealed paradise under Lake Superior skies,
they found their hoped for calling.
A place in the forest, with anticipation blest,
with a solitary life befalling.
In the cabin they nestled, existence wrestled,
from the forest amidst towering pines.
Isolated and austere, the harsh life there
became unbearable by it's designs.
November came bleak and the wind did seek,
out the fissures in the ancient cabin.
Whistling with mirth, announcing the birth,
of endless winter about to begin.
Primordial trees bare in the winter air,
thick with ice was the meandering river.
Storm clouds formed, their world transformed,
into a precursor of what solstice would deliver..
Snow demons uncaged, the blizzard raged,
and the frigid breath of winter descended.
The wind from the north, wildly brought forth,
an eerie wailing of destiny portended.
Snowbound too long, even for the strong,
life faded into an incessant nightmare.
Nerves became frayed, though they prayed,
for perseverance and sufficient fare.
As food ran low, still came the snow,
and they evolved sallow and wan..
Sunken hollow eyes in a specters disguise,
hallucinating visions, insanity's spawn.
Inside meager warmth glowed and still it snowed,
entombing the now moldering cabin.
Rage and furor erupted, isolation corrupted,
the skeletal living dead within.
Flesh now turned to ice, the final price,
paid by those who were once of this world.
Lost forever more, with the wind they soar,
souls into a tempestuous noreaster hurled..
Crumbling bones remain, in this darkened plane,
where footsteps leave no impressions..
December's kin, the wailing wind,
echos the voices of lost mortal oppression.
