Odinkwa

Serene, yet filled with emptiness Moon dust of dreams veiling the eyes Fate: a river no strength contest Brought you forth: a promised prize And I with pounding heart beheld For the first time my love and desire Castled in flesh, and pride upwelled For this El Dorado that many did aspire To find, and some this gold touched But never knew the beauty in their hands For here mortal senses are hushed And love ungilded dance on golden sands That tells heart's joy for a child's birth And coming, like soft flowers. Stared I At the beauty that eclipsed the earth From my mind: love in a mirrorless eye And you were my first, my strength, my Eternal godlikeness no logic could deny.

Odin is the Egyptian god Amun that became Akwashani in India and Odin in Scandinavia. Odinkwa is the god who speaks with one voice
