Freyja the Fair One
Wandering through the dreamy clouds on her golden chariot
swift as wind, glistening wheels throwing sparks of gold and silver.
Pulled by the pretty sapphire cats with glowing florescent eyes,
lighting up the sky with bursting shimmers and glimmers of zeal.
She is Freyja, "The fair one" they call her in their humble appeal.
A 'Vanir' Goddess draped in nobility and glory circling the skies
with floating golden hair and gleaming complexion of skin like silver.
Showering the earth with treasures of fertility; the joy of worth.
She is Freyja, "The fair one" they call her...
The most beloved Deity is not just a fragile beauty by birth.
But also the Queen of perished warriors, slain in battles for honor.
Riding on a golden war boar, she commands the 'Valkyries' on horses,
"Garner their spirits, their lost souls and take them to 'Folkvang'."
Enshrouded with after-life's bliss; greeted by the Swan Maiden's gang,
their endured souls are carried away on heavenly white horses.
Taken to the hall of fame away from the blood thirsty battles of horror
Now the warriors are overjoyed and honored with flattery and flirt.
She is Freyja,"The fair one" they call her...
Shedding rueful tears of gold and amber she once roamed all around,
looking for her lost love of life with shattered heart in shards.
No wonder why she is the Goddess of love invoked by jolted lovers.
But she is also invincible with untamed free will at times of call.
Protected with a necklace made of melting fire,'Brisings' they call
and a cloak of feathers transforms her into a watchful falcon's attire.
She explores the mysteries of hour to seek out the truth from fate’s guard.
Her enigmatic persona, her magical ways no one can bound.
She is Freyja, "The fair one" they call her...
