Wind That´s Always Turning

~ Poetry by me ~

Wind That´s Always Turning Wind That´s Always Turning MP3
Tune: "Noël Nouvelet", France, 15th century

Wind that´s always turning,
Fire´s singeing burn,
Soul´s eternal yearning,
Wod with which I churn,

God to which I´m given,
Trickster whom I trust,
Will by which I´m driven,
wishing what I must,

Whom I follow, Wanderer
hiding from my view,
Mystery and wonder:
All this, Hár, is you.

Rider who keeps urging,
granting no reprieve,
Prize with payment merging,
mingling joy with grief,

Gallows where I´m dangling
bound to Midgard´s pain,
Noose which slowly strangling
embraces me again,

Spear by which I´m riven,
Death consuming me,
Love for which I´m living,
Liege who sets me free.

Lord for whom I´m singing,
Lavisher of lore,
Gold ring breaker, bringing
wisdom to my store,

Well of words and verses,
Weaver of my art,
Breath of universes,
Healer of my heart,

Way on which I wander,
Goal for which I´m due,
Riddle which I ponder:
All this, Hár, is you.
