Soul's Springtide

As life returns to Midhgardhr

running sap enlivening green

grey, yellow and white

with thundrs roar and vafurs strikes

in energy for which all hungers

all flushes dark in rising reaching

Sol’s day lengthening

Inguni my friend I feel thine energy

flow through the growing tun afore me

and wish to pull from that same source

such thickening flow of odhr rising

like white river that is rising

and leaves that burst in Vidharr’s heimr

Mani’s fortune flowing

As life returns to mine own soul

with ondh and odhr rising

such thundr in mine heart is come

as I have not afore yet known

a counterpart to what thee bring now

an Aesir to thine Vanir flow

spring tide of mine life is turning

plow urdhr under to enrich

the seed new planted in this mould

As if the whole of thine full force

contained resided in me whole

and with its new mold took strange form

turned to a thing I have never known

to pull and drive beyond imagining

something yet unfelt afore

newness of living growing giving

like rebirth in a higher soul

Ljoss of mine growing is mine love

stronger yet than Sol’s light shining

unfolding branch unfurling leaf

and driving roots down deep below

she is the source - as thee to nature

she is the source as thee to all

Freyr, thine love that permeates

all things that live with driving need

I feel that first time manifest

immediate within as breath

from my own source reflecting

Love has come to all the worlds

without and within
