Ginnungagap
Before gods and men, when only Darkness was extant, there was the primordial yawning void. In Norse mythology, this was known as Ginnungagap. To the Greeks, the first thing in existence was Chaos, and when we break this word down to two parts we get Cha = orbit and Os = open. Open orbit.
However, even chaos was nonexistent once. From within this yawning void, rose up in its bowels, extreme heat, and extreme cold. Eventually, these two collided causing a massive reaction in the form of thunder and lightning, from whence we get the Greek word Logos. But, only that explains sound. Instantaneously and ubiquitously all these came into existence when the two clashed; frequency, light, energy, vibration, and finally, Thought. All combined Mind. And from then, the rest is history.

Mirror Universe
In the ethereal cosmos of your subconsciousness
Is the mirror universe
Of the symptoms of your stagnate mind
That you thought you left behind
A systematic reality in reverse
Of the astral plane
A seer whispers with suspicious viciousness
As you hold high your spear
In the crimson maw of Fenrir
Ending his eons of definitive reign
(Unfinished)
The Vikings were fearless seafarers
~ Their aim was, assaults and battle
... steal, rap and kill
On the mighty castle of Åsgard
~ It was Odin who is ruled
... and everyone knew it
Someone had heard that Vallhall was the kingdom of death
~ Was it really true that Valhall had a roof made of silver ?
Many chose the road to Odin's Hall
"Heaven bridge between the world of God
... and humanity in Norse mythology"

No matter how hard I practice, I find it so hard to escape
I can look out to see where I need to go and I try and I try
My wings keep flapping, but I’m too heavy for my feathers
It’s the burden within that keeps telling me I'm not worthy
I’ve struggled too long and I’m not going to lose this fight
Oh Hraesvelg Oh Hraesvelg I stand at this cliff’s edge
I need for you to take flight and flap your great wings
May the gusts of your wind lift me up so I can soar
If I jump and there's no wind for my wings...I will die

Hraesvelg, Norse mythology
This female three
Of Norse myth
Bring their chosen ones
To be with
The fallen ones
In the afterlife hall of the slain
Where in Valhalla
They will remain
These daughters of royalty
With their ravens so black
To be with their warriors
Who can't go back
These einherjar
Bravely, in battle died
Where they feast on the Saehrimnir
Viking pride
Herja, Svipul
Herfjotor, the three
Attested to
Norse Mythology
The chooser of the slain
These Valkyrie select
To live with the gods
Ultimate elect
As they enter the hall
Beside Odin and Thor
Baldr, Bragi
And Dellingr
Not to become gods
But in Norse afterlife
To die by the sword
In battle strife
