Haltia, spirit

Mourgana of the Fey

Here there are no beginnings

no endings

bending

before risen sun sinks

 

trees shake their mossy beards

vibrant virality clings

to rasping rooks

their songs 

sing feathered

 

let there be fog

for fog protects

silvery dressed

maidens afloat

 

I have become

the epithet called earth

standing among frozen streams

staring into rustic figments

 

otter opus

empress ermine

furry fox frock

 

a scythe cut portal opens

into virtue of belonging

here I am open handed

I am ready to walk my path

a solitary treasure

 

leaning towards

letting go

breathing in

deepest

 

listening

    I can hear and see the nature in this poem. It talks to me and seductively draws me in. Into a world of myth and fantasy of a past reality. Lovely

  • David Wakeling

    This is quite charming.I have the sense of optimism towards the end. A lovely cadence and an enjoyable read.

    • Tristan Robert Lange

      Beautiful and enigmatic like the Baltic Finnic peoples themselves. Wonderful poem of myth and mist. A fave for sure! 🌹👏

      • Mourgana of the Fey

        Thank you Tristan, the Finno Ugric myths are a branch of their own, some of the stories very complexed and detailed. Their culture often a culture based on Shamanic principles. This part of mythology has a special place in my heart. We all have these special personal places of power that we visite sometimes be it through writing, stories, dreams or poetry, have a lovely day!
