The gentlest blush as the hammer hallows
Hovers over the gilded ring
Hard won by cunning and skill and toil
Loptr’s green eyes glowing
Aesir and Jotun, hearts and hands
clasp in eternal marriage
Who knew what trouble would visit
or how They would see them through
Hallowed and held in that stead
Lost in one another’s eyes
Did you see the grace we do
or see Your paradise?
This is the final day of the Odin Project for this 2012 year. Thank you to Galina, who inspired me to be part of it, and everyone who has participated in it. Thank you to everyone who has followed my blog through this month; I hope that the Odin Project has somehow touched you, or brought you closer to Him.
Long suffered He | who traded Eye and Life
for giving wisdom to the Worlds;
Praise to the Allfather | given in gratitude
for gifts heaped upon gifts
Hail to Odin | in times of peace
for its blessings are hard-won;
Hail to Odin | in times of strife
for oft does it visit
Ever-mindful is Odin | of His children
who wanders the whole of Midgard
Hugin and Munin | ever-watch and wheel
and speak news to His waiting Ear
Sarenth Odinsson
