Lament for a God-King

[qos]

An LJ friend shared this in a locked post (locked for personal spiritual observances, not this text). She didn't know the source.

I'm not feeling the pain of grief right now, but this so gorgeously and vividly speaks to the past couple of years, I wanted to re-post it.

It's rare for a poem to affect me as much as this one did. Thank you for sharing.

I'm glad you too were moved by it.

I saw the original, and yeah... That's something that really hit me, with all the Hláfmæsse stuff that just happened.
