31 Jan: Found Poetry of Ragnarök

viking rune stones with words Ragnarök
ai art: an eagle being offered food by an elderly man with a long white beard and wearing a long robe. Others are watching from a distance.

Ragnarök: Found in The Weavers c.11

He sleeps
Like an eagle swooping
And wakes with wolves
After prey.

Riki sitt riki
His kingdom his

Sparks from sparks.
Secret from silence.

Löst at lifa
Lost to Life

And a thousand know
Who rises wise
Is wise , swooping
Over old oceans

    1. Brilliantly pulse thumping. One mustn’t mess with a wolf….

      Fenrir shall with impious tooth
      Slay the sire of rolling years.

      And, struggling with the wolf,
      Shall cleave his cold and gory jaw.
