This is a poem I was inspired to write when I was told the story about the origin of the name Lin and its many derivatives. The name actually comes from the Viking 'lin' word meaning waterfall. Many thanks to Kirk Tierney ~
Listen to poem:
I have the touch of viking in me
The spirit of the wild and free
I am the waterfall cascading
Across all nordic kingdom
My sovereignty undenied
I render lush abundance
Assuring joy to a parched land
Pride and glory to its clan
I am the gurgling source of life
That will not ever wither
I am Lin of the winds
The goddess of the meadows
I bring forth springtime’s magic
And the song of meadowlarks
I am Lin who hails from lands of reverie
Of the many crosswinds I am Lin
