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 Read on air by invitation ~ January 9, 2022 'POETS HARBOUR' AP: Honorable Mention 2021 Posted on July 25, 2021

I'm with Milt on this one: There's a lovely flow to your words Line. I'd add that I also sense a very strong, assertive, positive, hopeful and caring vibe to your words too in keeping with the theme and subject. Great read. Cheers - Gary
