Othin
by RG Akula Kinyon
Lord of Wind and Breath and Spirit, He
is
striking the skies, voice low like a rumbling storm
approaching
whisper like the mutterings of a dying fire
who steals into the worder’s hands
and speaks a mystery tangled beyond redemption
Revealer and Concealer He is
appearing to the heart like a lightning strike
in moment of revelation
or hidden so far deep in the mundane
made wholly unavailable by being too close
Gaurder of Truth, He is
through hard-won triumphs or ills
through diversity teaching virture
through pain making pleasure’s worth known
through emotion making Ve’s stillness manifest
Father of His own, He is
fostering what He deems right
fostering breath and deep control
fostering learning through His eye
fostering learning through His holy example
safely beneath His wings
AlFather dear, He is
guiding the son, who wilt ever be child
in His eyes, and under His realm
turning the reign from deep bog
turning the path ventured into murk
turning the voice fostering selfishness
soft hands turning the runes before us
Bringer of Song, He is
uttered up from the depths of soul
up from the tangled branches of long-past
up from the bog of clouded confusion
up to the clear light of day, revealed
voice unchained in freedom clear
Guider of Mystery, He is
causing the chain to link again
causing the chase and the hunt
causing the desperate search, the despair
the longing for something other
strong hands turning the runes.....
Guide us Father, Sustainer, Destroyer,
ever...
