Finding Home in the Fire
I never knew where home was
Why my heart longed to sing in the wilds
Until you took my hand
And led me into your fire
Into the woods
Where trees looked like iron
A haven for those of wild heart
And wild tongue
To run free in the ecstasy
Form-shifting freedom
Soul trembling joy
A wholeness that I never knew existed
If someone had asked me in that moment where home was
I would have pointed them to your cabin in the woods
Where the soup burnt my tongue in a lesson on pride
And my shifting form felt more solid than ever
Wrapped in white furs on the floor
Learning of your children by the firelight
Not knowing where the path out the door would lead me
But knowing I could always return

Hello! I’m Max, 26, and have been a proud Loki devotee for approximately six years now. I’ve had an oath with him for about five years, and am constantly learning and growing as I work with him and his family. Poetry tends to be my primary devotional act, so I look forward to sharing them with you all.
