Nordic Poems

The Protector of nature

In the silent woods, two different souls meet, and they give life to the end of the world,

The Distress Bringer and the Trickster kissed and touch their bodies, with passion and without a word.

They wished and they hoped, they cried, and they smiled at the future end of the gods,

Because their fruits of love will bring the death and the Ragnarök will be remembered with rewards.

The three fruits stood in the face of the All Father, looking at him with no regrets for their life,

A snake, a wolf and a girl with a face that is the life and death, no one had in their hand a knife.

Only the wolf could stay with the gods, the girl took the underworld, and the snake took the seas and oceans,

With his snake eyes, saw the waters that he will rule, and with his body he will put the oceans in motions.

His body grew up long enough to surround the entire world, he became the neckless of the Erath,

Living in the depth of the oceans, the danger that is present, but you cannot see, to the waves he will give birth.

So hard to be seen, and so easy to be heard, he will stretch in the darkness of the night,

And create waves and tsunamis by moving his body that will destroy everything, in the light.

A great rivalry formed after the mighty god Thor failed to lift the giant snake in disguised,

The god could not accept to be tricked by the Utgarda Loki, his revenge was baptized.

Jormungandr will wait for his series of battles with the god of thunder, standing face to face,

Swimming between rocks and animals in the darkness of oceans, being patient and leaving no trace.

Whenever Thor and Jormungandr had a battle, the result was a simple frustrating draw,

The battle between the human's protector and the force of nature was like a law.

For each move of the mighty god, the Midgard snake had the perfect answer,

The giant snake and the mighty Thor were the perfect balance, chaos, and order.

Jormungandr will be always there to protect, representing the nature's wrath,

He will keep the balance for the humans, so they cannot leave their own path.

From the depths of the ocean, you can hear him talk, like a voice of justice,

And if you cross the line, his eyes will appear in the waves creating a dangerous crisis.

On his last day, he will start the Ragnarök by moving his body, the oceans will tremble,

The gods will fear, will scream, and will fight, but first they need to assemble.

The mighty snake will face the God of thunder, their final battle will be one to remember,

They will exchange bites, punches and blows, injuries, and tears, between water and embers.

,,Do you really think that you can kill me? Today is you last day alive, God of Thunder!"

,,I will defeat you my rival, but what will be after is what I really wander."

,,I will find it without you, and I will stretch over you and your dead kin until the end."

,,You are the serpent that surround the Midgard, I think is difficult to be you, without a friend."

,,I don't need a friend, I just need to end you. Look there, my foe, Odin is killed by my brother."

,,I will finish you with my mighty hammer, beast. Prepare to be dead, after I will avenge my father."

,,One last battle, Thor. Until one of us is on the ground, dead. Would be a great feast for crows."

,,Our names will be in songs forever after this. Will be an inspiration for the ones that compose."

At the last moment the giant snake will be crushed by the great power of the thunder,

After, Thor will walk a short distance, before falling dead by the poison, it will feel like a blunder.

After the balance is again established, nature and humans are in harmony with each other,

The giant Jormungandr will be there in spirit, looking, protecting the nature like a mother.
