The Norseman’s Wish
While I read my runes,
a thought comes to me,
the drakkar sails slowly,
dodging the sea’s ice.
And I think sincerely,
that if I could make a wish,
it would not be riches,
it would not be power,
not even a kiss from you.
What I would wish, without doubt, without fear,
is that you, sky-eyed one,
had never been broken,
that your gaze had never clouded,
nor a single tear had fallen.
And if in return,
I had to change,
to not be the man I am now…
I would do it, without hesitation, without regret.
For seeing you happy is what matters most.
And if you break… I break with you.
