[bodytext] => I stand alone but not alone, With the Aesir by my side. My Gods, I know they are guiding me, As I walk through life with pride. My path was set when I was Born, The Norn’s had Runes they Scribed. The Runes they scribed could not be denied, T’was my fate, yes my life. I feel it is written, Valfather, On the battlefield I will die. I see a valkyrja swooping down, Together we will fly. Hail to you, All-father, You will hear me roar and cry! As I step inside your great hall, My weapons held up high! Heed me Odin, when Ragnarök comes, Beware that wolfs glowing eyes. He will strike you down, swallow you whole, It is written that you will die! Hail Vidar, son of Borr’s son, When Odin your father, dies. You will use your scrap leather boot, To take Fenrir’s life. You will stand upon his bottom jaw, Push his top jaw upon high, You will slice with your mighty sword, And rejoice as you watch him die. Heed Me Thor, I warn you. Beware the Mithgard Snake. You will fight that spawn of Loki’s Loins, That Orm, I know you will break! But you my Lord, Thor I say, Not ten steps you will take. Poison will fly from that Serpents mouth, Yes, I know this is your fate. When it’s over and all is done, The Snake and the Wolf be dead. So will you, All-Father Odin. So to Thor, The einherjar, the rest. But do not worry, do not fret, For mankind, I know will survive. For Lif and Lifthrasia, I know where they are, In Hoddmímis holt they hide. Hail to Odin, Hail to Thor, Hail to one and all. Hail to the Aesir, Hail to the Vanier, Hail to all that fall.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
