Set to Burn
By: Robert Shawn Rowland
Here I sit, with wooden board
Set to draw, set to burn
From eye in mind, to tree hewn down
From vision in well, to Midgard's field
Odhr ablaze, a need to bring
To life a dream, dimly seen
On hewn wood, I stroke the grain
In oaken board, I rist the secret
Of what is to be, that only I have seen
From Odin's Gift, a burden ever
Need on chest, straining of heart
I must set to strike, a flame within steel
Thorr's main, fans that flame
So I may strike, with artist's sword
On wooden board, on hewn full-life
Set to draw, set to burn
Things in dreams, dimly viewed
From atop a tree, Ond's great eye
About Me
- Robert Shawn Rowland
- I am a seeker of meaning, truth, and the Divine. I have been a practicing polytheist since 1997 and a lover of philosophy and theology since even before then. Most of this time I have been a Germanic Heathen, but I have also slowly taken to the practice of Gaelic Reconstructionist Polytheism. I am happily married, a hobbyist musician, a poet, pyrographer, sports fan, and pretty darn good cook. This blog will contain poems, rants, and musings relevant to my ever winding spiritual journey.
