I received Eihwaz twice this week  
It is time to grow inside out,  
And it is Eihwaz’s time to speak
Shed dead skin  is what it’s about.

It is time to grow inside out.        
My skin is  like a Yew’s long bark,
Shed dead skin  is what it’s about.
And growing within  hits the mark..

My skin is  like a Yew’s long bark
And chuck the old ways like a snake sheds  hyde ,
And growing within  hits the mark.
Doing this  I feel  bonafide .

Algiz at North West a blessing
What is the weak link in the chain,
What is strong and needs protecting
Unhealthy links -remove that strain.

What is the weak link in the chain ?
You should feel strong like a steel rope .
Unhealthy links -remove those strain
Be helpless I hope I can cope.

You should feel strong like a steel rope
And unconnected to Godhead .
Be helpless I hope I can  dope  
Can fill you with plenty of dread.

And unconnected to Godhead
What is strong and needs protecting.
Can fill you with plenty of dread
Algiz at North West a blessing.

My kin bought me poetry books
They enforce stuff I overlooked ,
I read them and find new outlooks
What I have are superb handbooks.

I remember my childhood yard
There was this big tree
I played for hours there
Under the dark shadow

There was this big tree
Sometimes gone unnoticed
Under the dark shadow
Seemed the place for me

Sometimes gone unnoticed
Lost from the world
Seemed the place for me
I've lost my way home

Lost from the world
Wanting to be found
I've lost my way home
No one looks for me
