The Garden of Idunn
She hides her apples
in a wooden box
sealed with magic.
She feeds them to those
who
have found
the elemental god within.
Feeds them to
trembling mouths.
Cuts a little piece
from the apple of youth
places it in the craving mouth
And she walks her garden silently
with the box
well hidden in her heart.
Waters the apple tree
with tears of empathy.
