Saga
(some definitions at the bottom)

And goddess Saga, in verse set forth
On Sleipnir's back to winters north
on Gungnirs tip, Huginn's corpse
a gift of homage, for Mimir's Vow
Heart in heart to face Ragnarok

Dead and gone in ancient songs
The spirit of a Goddess, somehow lives on….
Through Ragnarok, the gods have lost,
The worship of the common flock,
And Loki, in death laughs on, and on.

Now past and future do collide,
These dreams that mortal man, contrive.
But who’s to say, the dream is made
Of fantasy’s from all of yesterdays,
maybe the dreamer is the dream, that dreams..

But, in the scene the dreamer sees,
Lives the image of the olden Seas
And wooden ships with wind swept wings
Where the Goddess, sails in the heart of me
Come, Oh come and you shall see..

And if you listen on this night,
through salty air, with starry lights
Down by the well of the oceans tides
A whispered song, enchants the wise
Whispering dreams, as she softly sings…

Goddess Saga:
Oh sail with me to County Cork,
on a maiden voyage of gentle seas
and run thru the mire and the mists,
on a lover's mystical journey.

James Parker Haley and Saga… May 30, 2000

If your curious..... from Norse Mythology

Saga - the daughter of Odin. She was the goddess of poetry.
Ragnarok - the ultimate battle between good and evil from which a new order will come.
Sleipnir - the swift horse ridden by Odin
Huginn - a raven of thought which sat upon Odin's shoulder and brought him news everyday of what was occuring in the world
Gungnir - Odin's spear, obtained from the Dwarves by Loki for Odin
Mimir - the god of wisdom and knowledge.
Loki - the god of mischief
Parker - the god of shameless flirting.

This is one that definitely needs to be read aloud....and having the names defined below helps make it all the better to be read again, and again....

so I guess this is following me home....

You sir are not only a flirt(cute that!) but also a dreamer of very good poetic dreams. I enjoyed this very much.

Parker, this is a wonderful story.

"Now past and future do collide,
These dreams that mortal man, contrive.
But who’s to say, the dream is made
Of fantasy’s from all of yesterdays,
maybe the dreamer is the dream, that dreams.".

Especailly like that stanza
