three runes: ᛉ ᛖ ᛋ

©2023 michael raven

following reindeer
across stone & scrub
past midnight trance
beyond the rainbow bridge
old antlers cast aside
rattle these bones
shiver inside
so many
hours
in
.
the long dark

breaking dawn

symbolisms
ᛉ algiz
ᛖ ehwaz
ᛋ sowilo

guardian bear
at northgate stone
no simple flight of passage
allowed here

approach with courage
spear raised high
a bounty of spirit beyond

is it skill?
or luck that lays opens
the path inside?
