Heimdall
Grass listener, Wave-born, far-sighted, fair warning, nine-mother-man, honey-worded wooer, Heimdall is a towering safeguard till Horn Blow; his feet feel rainbows.
The sea is within him, the alert one
Less sleep than a bird
He watches for you from a hundred leagues away
Sees you night and day from far
The sound of the wool growing on the backs of the sheep
is music to his ears
Grass growing across the plains sings
At the steps of the rainbow
By the doors of Himinbjorg,
His hall is Cliffs of Heaven
Nine worlds will hear his horn
When fetched from Mimir’s pool the worlds will end
Gjall-blower will be his name that day
All men are born of him
His honeyed words birthed all
Of the twelve gods of the golden age
He is of the golden teeth
Goldtuft he rides
To all ceremonies
Where he wisely argues the case for the betterment
Of the old Gods he knows well the end
He foresees
Let him tell you what comes
In the reflections in mead let him come to you
Eagle-eyed he can help you, forewarn you
The White God king-maker
He Rig the Celts see as king
Runs like a ram when you call for his aid
Of Nine Mothers
When waves form one woman
Where nine is the number
And so there are so many souls
Beings of femininity of the number nine
They are the waves and they unify
To become one wave
A birth wave
Flowing for them comes
Their son
The son of nine mothers
Son of the waters of life
Far seeing, far hearing, ever alert, ever watchful
From them flowing
It is Heimdall
