Seiðr

The time might time might:

The pace back and forth;

Of his plans and causes;

Offing of trueness -- false gospels.

Measure of a new age,

A song or the days;

Measure of the newness --

The song of the next.

Juvenile children

Will grow up, will be.

Serenity of future

Will be.

To give a title can be sometimes more difficult then write poem it self. Sometimes I put what first came to my head after when I finish writing. Title is one thing what can make poem attractive and unique . And also is happen I make great title but poem is sucks .

This is for me like from dark ages will arise new hope . I wonder if this writing reflect current political social events. You are not clear which give reader to put own views on your words. First stanza can be about some leader who is not sure which step is better to make. Like elephant in porcelain shop. Make more harm then healing. At second stanza there is some moving of new ideas or ways. Slowly preparation for future what will be if everything is ready. What come to my mind maybe title can be Seer in mist of future .

Thanks. Now, I have a Norse name.
Yes, politics is always an inspiration *smiles*. No, not for one leader...but the way.

Can I ask what that Norse name actually means. And are you interested in Norse mythology . I find quiet hard to read Icelandic sagas. That ancient language and symbolism always sent me off.

My mind first went to seerer from your review. Then I remember, seerer is also a surname, I was going on for someone from that family, but couldn't found a resonance with the theme. Then Seerers are from Ireland, so my mind went to the nordic countries, then to something from norse mythology.
And then as poem was about predicting and changing the future, which was a type of magic seidhr ( or seiðr), which included shaping the future....so my mind went to Vala (another mythological character who performed such arts), but Vala was a female, and I wanted to refer 'his' to the mankind in the poem as a whole, so I stayed with Seiðr.

And yes, learning about cultures (alive or dead) helps with the work. So you can say I'm interested in mythologies as someone if interested about his neighbours, another world of their own.

Thanks for nice explanation it's feels more like poem. Beautiful journey of discovery.
