between blood & wine
i wish i could believe
but all i see are folks
drunk on power or drink
on hate or deceit &
it gets hard to see how
to crawl out from this hole
A poem prompted by a randomly selected Elder Futhark rune.
Today’s rune is mannaz, a rune that translates to “man” in the sense of “humankind”. The rune is associated with family and the social order, and in trusting the intuitive process or seeing clearly — both from within and from without. Mannaz influences relationships of all kinds, including those of a romantic nature, and encourages compassion, for oneself as well as for others.
Please visit my Elder Futhark pages at sceadugenga.com for additional interpretations of the runes based on multiple references and personal reflection.

There will be a way out. This too shall pass. Hang in there. 🙁
Perhaps.
It has to end sometime. Hang onto that thought.
“And then everything went ‘foom’.
And it was good.
And there was much rejoicing.”

Spot on! It isn’t going to be easy.
Not at the current rate.
