Wellspring of spiritual water, 

It's bubbling inside me.

Gently soothes my bruised soul -

Covering Life's pain of mystery.

 

Unseen surging river, 

Courses through body mortal -

Renewing my energy, 

Forced through this open portal.

 

Full to overflowing, 

Come stand next to me,

during trying times I find true encouragement.

I’m able to lean on His strength

while in search of…

Those disembodied remnants,

Earthly remains of unknown souls,

are now assembled at my doorstep.

Having piqued my attention,

who are these unwelcome houseguests?

Loved ones or Nordic heroes

who were consumed in funeral pyres?

How old are these molecules

that have been forever scattered

during these past centuries?

Unwanted leftovers of human containers,

eaten by microscopic mites,

nibble at my presence

and wait for my…
