    sowilo
    a new shaft of illumination
    punches through
    this thick head, mine:

    some words given great weight
    are but feathers on
    the winds of expediency

    A rune poem, based on an Elder Futhark rune selected at random.

    Today’s rune is sowilo, the sun. Sowilo is the source of enlightenment, for lighting the way and illumination. It is also called the “icebreaker” and gives power to an “attack”, ensuring success and/or prosperity. This rune also represents hope, the light at the end of a long darkness.

    sowilo
    snowflake but
    climbing up
    shadows slink
    to scheme away
    whiling until
    after the fall

    sowilo
    though skies still cast iron &
    ice still lies scattered
    across winter soil
    butter spread on doorposts
    grows softer each morn

    sowilo
    her first fingers
    stretch, clutch at pale
    covered of night stained
    lapis & spangle

    i slumber for her coming
    & dream

    sowilo
    a sputtering candle flame
    from a shack in wildwood
    perhaps there is something
    illuminated in the wode old face

    or maybe just a desire to dream

    sowilo
    the haze of frost
    clouding vision
    melts away —
    casting sharper shadows
    in the brightness of day

    Another rune poem of mine, where the rune is selected at random.

    Today’s rune is sowilo, which has a core meaning “sun”. The sun is representative of the source of life, illumination and power.
