Thor, the Norse God of Thunder, had a hammer named Mjölnir. Mjölnir was considered a fierce weapon that could level mountains and summon lightning with every blow. In this poetry blog, every Thursday, (Thor’s Day), Mjölnir will forge only song - sing of the mysteries and beauties of the world.

AVALANCHE

 

More like

an avalanche

than a mountain.

 

More like denial

than addiction.

A blindness

 

bigger than

anything

unseen.

 

Yet anything

worth having

or inhabiting,

 

like humility,

requires empathy

over anger,

 

love over

arrogance.

Mountains

 

are avalanches

waiting to happen.

So are we.

 

So why not

make compassion

our igneous inside,

 

the matter

we carry within

our living lives.

 

Then when collapse

happens, we collapse

into kindness.
