The Viking

From the Halls of Valhalla
there came a man
who had lived many times

From the fields of Annwn
there came a woman
who had shared those lives
as kith and kin

but never had their bodies cleaved

He had lived and died in battle
She had lived and died by fire
Both had learnt the ways
of gods and men

Born to ritual and versed in love
they wandered, these fey two
amongst humans learning
of greed, lust, cynacism
Corruption of the Soul

Dispairing she gave into vices
Slowly her soul lost its luminescence

He saw her and knew
She saw him and was shamed

His touch healed her body
His words soothed her mind
His love took her soul
and made it whole

In the Halls of Valhalla
and
In the Fields of Annwn
the gods and their chosen smiled
and prepared the feast.

Lisa - wonderful imagery that sets my mind to wandering among Celtic ruins and communing with sylphs of the woods. Looking forward to reading more of you work.
