The Runes Pt. 5 Nine

Nine realms
and nine years
nine sacrifices
for the gods to hear

Nine days and nine nights
for knowledge and for wisdom
for runes and for sight
nine daughters, nine steps
unto Thor's last breath

and..

Nine days of compromise
sleeping by oceans
or by mountainsides
trying to find a way
to keep the knot
pulled tight

Nine

Author's Note
I wanted to capture the insane amount of times 9 was used in Norse mythology. From the 9 daughters of Aegir and Ran to the 9 days Skadi and Njord spent each trying to compromise a place to live in their failed marriage. 9 realms, Thor's 9 steps before his death in Ragnarok.. it's fascinating. :)
