Baldur
His downfall
a strange twist to fate
like for so many others.
Just like the messengers
of other faiths
he left us a light
in the dark
to guide us
into the mystery of
our own self.
Will he ever rise again
I wonder.
Perhaps he has already returned
time and time again
in deeds of love and
compassion.
Perhaps he is already within us.
A
knowing
a heartbeat
pulsing within
the collective soul.
