The Norse Night

The thunder rang out…..
over….
the foothills, forests and fertile fields
like the battle cry of the Valkyrie’s.
Rain
	Fell
like the 
	pounding 
hoofs of their of their steeds.

Tree limbs 
Lay 
torn asunder 
by Thor’s lightning,
                   reaching 
longingly for the fabled halls of
		Valhalla…………………..
mimicking the brawny arms of the Nordic Hordes.

The only other sound….
	on the feral wind
		was Loki’s laughter
as the flames rose
	from the churches steeple.
