Loki

drip drop 

goes the clock

tick tock

tick tock

tick tock

creeps the mist

the fog

the smog

silently seeping into cracks

through

into the vessel

which we call "I"

it plays a merry dance

its weaves

and smiles

it loves

it knows

it tricks

it beguiles

for the clever misty fog

is the great trickster of all

Loki

the laughing god

he lays out carpets

adorned with fruit

so succulent 

that you must take one bite

"ahhhaaa" he shrieks with glee

when all falls down

on knees

and burns

for Loki is a clever soul

that winds

and wraps

eats up bliss

feeding on joy

revelling in mischief

Loki is a clever boy

a clever boy indeed

but one thing that Loki doesn't know 

is the wisdom of a woman's heart

for true wisdom cannot be won with a smile

nor embellished

nor tainted 

nor subdued

for a woman's wisdom is deeper than a canyon

deeper than the earth

of love

deeper and deeper

the woman's wisdom sits

and will not be shaken

from its root

so fly above trickster Loki

dance around

do your very very best

but know

that a wise wise wise woman

will stand 

and smile

and say

i forgive you

go free

be still

come to the heart of me and i will hold you there

for your fears cannot harm me now

for i am 

the wisest root of all

i am the mother

i am the earth

rooted and tall

with this Loki knows

there is no way to move or escape

so Loki submits

his mischief to the wind

and embraces love

Loki is encompassed in truth

transmuted

for all of time
