Echoes call from sky to sea

Wishing they bring my love to me

The ancient peaks and trees standing strong

speak that to me you belong!

May the winter winds carry my song

A whispered tale of love forlorn

The flame of my love will ever burn

Your heartfelt call I will not spurn;

A love so true you will not find

Sealed by our kiss in heart and mind

You live on beating in this heart of mine

and I will live forever in thine!

I wrote this poem inspired by the stories of nordic seafarers who would leave home and love behind to explore new worlds.

The Vikings would leave their beautiful fjords and lush forests in search of adventure and glory. Their ancient tales recant the romance they left behind in the pursuit of something temporal that would never bring them true satisfaction.
