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.

THE LAKE

Safety is a lake

we bring our canoes to.


You and I and the others

meet at the bank.


We wade into the water,

walk our boats


out and away 

from the shoreline,


push off, hop in,

and in time 


and slowly 

lay down.


This not an ocean.

It is a lake.


Intimate. Buzzing 

with life.


We are together 

and comfortably 


adrift

in community.
