DAUGHTER

The Shears of fate my thread have cut,
The cord is severed through,
But purpose keeps me here on earth.
I stay here now for you.
No obligation more sacred,
No vow of greater weight
Could take me from my loving child
Though all creation wait,
and I a shadow of my past,
A phantom of my joy
Deserted by my partner,
God’s own discarded toy-
Must find within me Odin’s mind
and Balder’s stalwart heart
To give to you a rainbow bridge
And a hero’s running start.
