The Wood and White.

By TheProphetUntold

+--+




Urđr calls to me
like fire, in a dream
through the wood and white.

Her face, as black smoke, crawling
over the reach and pine peaks.

Skyward
Skuld stands
skyclad.

Staid, wading the blaze,
Verđandi, sapping the flame
of its' warmth and light.

Deeds, joy and meaning, empty,
side by side we watch them die.


Valor, victory
valhalla, obsolete.



Look away, all-father.


All is none, tonight.
It is to Hel, I go..
through the wood and white.

    "Like a fire in a dream/wood and white" Great imagery, I can almost smell the campfire.

    Vex-ing Zods. I loved the Norse-ness. Rich, strong & stagnant on the mind. Few words, yet tons of imagery. Good job friend.
