Ragnarok
By Jordy Samuels
Inspired by “Ragnarok”: the Doom of the Gods in Norse Mythology
Three years shall frost rage wild
In chaos to portend
An age for each doomed child
Of the All-father’s friend
And she who offers sorrow
From whence will dawn the morrow
When they from death will borrow
An army for the end
The moon and sun devoured
The sky: of pitch and tar
White clouds and blue sea scoured
The mourning Morning Star
Nine realms ablaze and riven
Dim drowning worlds driven
Through old feuds unforgiven
Old wounds; that ancient scar
And so will dawn the ending
And so the sea will dry
The Light’s Rebirth impending
Will sweep away the sky
And run you may in grieving
Or claim this Fate deceiving
But death is all-believing
And no God cannot die.
