You Ask Why?

Lovely beautiful loving Freya
She took me under her arm and under her falcon cloak
She flew me to Yggdrasil then gave me a cloak of raven feathers
I cried she kissed my forehead
She told me shhh... then we flew
She took me down to the Norns
I had said earlier to myself I wanted to go there
Beautiful ladies of three
The one of present spoke to me
She said "You ask why?"
I looked back over my left to where the one of past sat
She held up my string it wasn't very long
Then present showed me the one of mine she held
It was longer
Then she pointed and I looked at the thread of my future
It was long very long
She told me "That is why"
The work I do now touches many and is to touch many more even
    in a small way
And as I touch one and another that I have touched touches yet
   another I continue
My thread lengthens
Then she gave me a drinking horn and told me to dip it in the
   stream and drink
I drank and I washed my face
Then Freya brought me back
She told me to wear my cloak and wear it wisely.
Use it as I fly the 9 worlds
Use the power of thought and memory to learn and share
She told me she would always be with me
I asked if I could look at her closely
I have so much trouble seeing what they really look like
Her lovely face to see I was nought
But her necklace shone brightly
She wore a dress of red and gold
She is beautiful
Thank You Lady Freya
