Spring’s Hope 

 

A poem by James Moore-Hodur

Walk and wander down the winding way,
Observe, smell the air, listen to the amazing display,
The green budding leaves on the trees, the flowers, and the colors are there.

Spring has Sprung
Winter is undone.

Rejoice Ostara, Éostre, Easter is dancing,
She is prancing gaily down the path,
Let us wander with the hope child around the bend and down the way.

Winter is undone,
Spring is sprung.

Phallic Freyr

By James Moore-Hodur

Phallic Freyr is having fun,
Playing with his jolly holly
Seeds all over when it’s done,
Phallic Freyr is pleasing in an envelope or even in a bum,
Phallic Freyr is a handful and more,
Sowing Frith and so much more
His love is bountiful by the score,
Tis is no oath more sacred sworn,
With one hand on your heart and one hand on his boar,
Phallic Freyr, Now i shall start sowing seeds a plenty for you,
Having zest for a peaceful life in my heart,
Fun is everywhere even when I’m playing with my part,
Holding you close is sacred… and an admired art.

Hagalaz Hodr

By James Moore-Hodur

I am blind,
I am in the dark,
But I am not afraid.

I peer into the void,
The glittering void of my soul,
I turn within to know what is with-out.
Here, I’ve touched my inner divinity,
I am stronger for it,
I am far better in this darkness than any man, god, or giant.

I am blind,
But I do not see danger,
I want to play in their games,
Mistletoe?
Ok, I’ll give it a throw.

Gasp!

What happened?
What did I do???
Why is everyone crying??
What did I do??

I am blind,
I am alone,
My brother is dead,
Vengeance will be coming.

I am dead,
I’m free to embrace my family,
I don’t need my eyes to see,
I am not alone anymore,
It’s Brother and me.

I am always in darkness,
But I am not afraid,
I can see more clearly than the light of day,
And the cycle must be complete,
You can’t have one without the other,
Day without the Night,
As above, so below
Balance and Counter-balance
Baldur and Hodur together.

Tyr-ful Lament

Tyr-ful Lament

By James Moore-Hodur

Faithful, Frith-Filled Friend,
Oh how I love you to where stars shall end,
I raised you like a son,
Oh You playful and Happy one!

Faithful, Frith-Filled Friend,
Oh how I will love you ’til the end,
You’ve grown so strong and full of might,
You gave us half a fright,
When you had put up such a fight

Faithful, Frith-Filled friend,
Oh how I love you to where stars shall end,
You destroyed father’s chair,
You ate his favored deer,
Your teeth doth tear,
Your bite is filled with such spite.

Faithful Frith-Filled friend,
Oh how I love you to the end,
I do not know what to do for you,
When you have come so unglued,
I have to do something,
I have to preserve order, a Ragnarok to stave off,
I don’t want to leave you in Chaos’ Hof.

Faithful Frith-Filled Friend,
Oh how I love you to where stars shall end,
I have to save you from yourself,
A collar we have made by dwarf and elf,
Rules I shall break and Order I shall bend,
I want to keep you with me always until we meet Our End.

Faithful Frith-Filled Friend,
I know I lied and still I cried,
When I placed my hand in your maw,
Watching your mouth become a saw,
A pledge fulfilled to you, my friend
Oh how I love you to the end!
