Prompt:“Latitude of Fire and Ice”
Verse 1 (Goa – The Departure)
Down in Goa where the palm winds sigh,
Salt on the skin and a burning sky,
Drums in the night like a heartbeat call,
I left with nothing but the urge to fall…
Into something bigger than I could name,
A line on the map, a flickering flame.
Chorus
From fire to frost, from sand to stone,
Across the world where the cold winds groan,
Four stops carved in the endless white,
Till the pole eats the edge of night.
Verse 2 (Dubai – The Glass Mirage)
Steel grows forests in desert air,
Gold in the light, but no one’s there,
I traded heat for a mirrored maze,
Lost in the shine of a thousand days,
A compass spinning in neon skies,
Where even truth wears a thin disguise.
Verse 3 (Iceland – The Breath of Earth)
Then ice broke open like ancient doors,
Volcanic fire beneath cold shores,
Steam like ghosts from the sleeping ground,
Where silence speaks in a roaring sound,
I learned the world is alive and torn,
Between what’s frozen and what is born.
Verse 4 (Svalbard – The Edge of the Map)
Further north where the sun forgets,
Time dissolves in polar nets,
Steel-blue oceans and drifting ice,
Every direction feels precise and vice,
Here I shed what I thought I knew,
In a land where night is almost true.
Final Verse (North Pole – The Center of Nothing)
No roads, no names, just spinning white,
A quiet world swallowed by light,
I came through fire, storm, and stone,
To find the place that’s most alone…
And standing there where all lines end,
I learned the journey was the friend.
