A Song For Heimdall

by Valiel

Heimdall,

You are the silent God

You arrive, you turn your head

I see your eyes, I see you’ve seen

You see me, your eyes tell so much

But you say nothing

It seems your voice has been lost

In space and time                        

Did you lose it to the Void

When you made the sacrifice ?

For it is the depth of the Void

That I feel in you

There is only your eyes,

Your eyes that tell so much

I look at you, and you at me, and I see

I see through you, it seems I hear

But I know I don’t

Your eyes are like the well of Mimir

I can lose myself into them

I feel the depth without end

I feel the knowledge supreme

But where does your heart lay ?

Inside the water of the well

I feel the darkness and the ache

I feel a shell that has been emptied

What is this suffering ?

Where is the center of your being ?

I feel a lament from the sea

The melancholia and the ache

It is enclosed in your being

Heimdall, silent God,

Is there no cure to your wounds ?

But I feel the wave rolling,

A last look full of meaning,

A door that closes as your turn back

And the vision fades away.
