WINTER
SOLSTICE EVE 12-20-25
Starry,
silent night
Sun-streaked
sky mists to daylight
Earth,
holy and bright
Winter
timelessness takes flight
Peace
and love a wondrous sight…

VEGVISIR
Walking
through the dark of night
Aging
eyes not seeing quite right
Some say
the runes are from the Huld Manuscript
Perhaps
Elder Futhark, difficult to decrypt
Written
late 1800s in Iceland
This
wayfinder compass, hard to understand
As a lone
practitioner on exhilarating starry nights
Admittedly,
at times, a kleptoparasite
I adopt
this belief as my very own
For lost,
I am, all alone
And
holding it aloft, reflecting the Moon
The
physical world becomes magically attuned
And my
path visibly leads me on
As I’m
sure the Vikings sailed along
Knowing
the meaning of these runes
Dragon
ships bravely fighting typhoons
Because
the Vegvisir presented by their prophetess
Spells
and blessings her largesse
And here
I am finding my confusing way
As the sun
rises on this auspicious day…
