BRIDGE OF THE AIR

~~~

 Of Bifrost’s arch,

(Bridge of the air)

Valhalla-called,

(Valkyries’ thrall)

Take deathly ship

(It leaves the slip)

To Avalon;

(And then beyond)

See Blessed Isles

(By faerie wiles)

While Eden falls-

(Valhalla-called)

As heroes sport

(In mythic thought)

With naiads fond.

(To Avalon)

 

Come with me where the life is free

In the name of a far and a lost country,

Walk the bridge of storied air

And where you land is your affair.

 

Mortals dwell

(In peace and well)

Elysian Fields,

(Such powers wield)

And demi gods

(Beyond the odds)

Of misty climes;

(In fading chimes)

Where danger strikes

(In scream of shrikes)

Achilles’ heels

(Elysian Fields)

Where Arthur dreams

(In fluent streams)

In poets’ rhymes.

(Of misty climes.)

 

Come with me where the death is bright

In the mystic haze of minds’ delight,

Tread the bridge of storied air

If such venture you might dare.

   

The Bridge of the Air

Valhalla Dreaming

Weeping Avalon

Atlantis Fading

Eden Sleeping

Raising Lyonesse

Sherwood Waking

Awaiting Tír na nÓg

Elysian-Seeming

Elfland Singing

Leaving Ben Innis

Building the Bridge of the Air
