Ode to Freyja
(© 6 August 2001 - Dirk Schmitt)

For years I stand unknowing
Knowledge of what lays beyond
Time comes forth
Granting me glimpses
Of lives once lived

Sitting in rooms
Listening to words
Reading their troth
Coming to know
The ways of God

But these ways are not mine
Never have they been
In time I know
Learning ever that
No Kristjan I be

Once more into the void
No presence I sense
Living in limbo
Till the call
Brings me back again

Your sweet voice
The shine of your spear
The purr of your cats
The flight of the Swallow
Your presence I feel

I call to you
Lady of the North
In my darkest time
You embrace me
With your warmth

Infused with the knowledge
Of who I once was
Returned to the folk
Of kinfolk ever tru
Freyja goddess mine
