Journey to Valhalla

On The Saints of Hampstead Heath

As she looks at the lifeless body in the sand,

the shadow of a giant winged figure appears in the sky.

She turns around to see a giant bird in the sky,

the winged creature begins to dive in her direction.

As it landed close to her lifeless body filing sand around,

She stares at the bird for a minute, not taking her eyes away.

the bird examines the dead body in the sand seeing every detail,

 then looks back at her with its menacing, white eyes not red.

The mysterious bird finally spoke to her with a familiar voice, 

Its name was Muninn, one of the All-father’s ravens.

The woman asked if she has reached Valhalla,

The raven only shook its head and said no to the woman.

The raven said only Forseti can determine if she is worthy,

It pointed to its right then said his temple is in that direction.

Then the raven flew away leaving her to walk the desert alone,

After walking for miles, she sees a temple in the distance.

She is filled with joy to finally reach the temple of Forseti,

She was getting closer to the temple with every step.

But as she got closer and closer to the temple,

It revealed itself as just a mountain, at that point she lost hope.
