when nine ripples open
Who will sing me
Into the death-sleep sling me
When I walk the road to Hel
quote from the song helvegen by Wardruna
.............................
Carmine cloud weaver
wielding sentient surface
myriads of moons ago
fairest of glens
from crescent hand
hilled hips mother myst
birthing from a wolfs nostrils
dire was our heart
we tore at its flesh
we lived before
asphalt and pollution
began.
I wonder who will sing me over
when and if I die
my calendar is empty
stirring ingredients
a broth into
Al Khem Et
(alchemy)
alone
these lavender hems
fade into dark blue
knowing
there is no turbulence
among stalactites
and stars

What a fascinating and introspective passage!
You're referencing the song "Helvegen" by Wardruna, which is inspired by Norse mythology and the concept of passing into the afterlife. The quote sets the tone for a contemplative exploration of mortality, the natural world, and personal transformation.

Rianne my dear and beautiful friend, your poetry is breathtaking, like ancient thread woven with timeless imagery and deep introspection salted with the universe secrets that's only a true philosophers heart and poets mind could bare to understand let alone weave. The contrast between ancient landscapes and modern existence is beautifully captured in your writing , and the question of who will sing us over lingers with quiet profundity, Your closing lines, where darkness meets serenity, leaves me with a lasting sense of peace while your words burn meaning into the soul, Your talent is truly incredible, and your words hold a rare and beautiful depth that I've come to find ! A secret river that flows ...

Thank you, dear Malcolm for such kind and generous feedback on this piece. Sometimes there are ways of reflection within poems. My favorite thing s recreating these. The more combinations I can make with words and sentences the better. I guess by now I have described some of the same things in hundreds of different ways.
Yes the end goes into calmness. Glad you enjoyed this piece, greetings and blessings, all the best in your musical projects!
