- Max Harper
Shapeshifter, my Soul
I hold my body tight
It’s otherness unknown to my soul
I envy the shape shifter
A being of pure liminality
Whose peace I will never know
May you teach me your secrets
Like water pushing and pulling
Changing and transforming
Until I know the peace of my own fluidity
And the embrace of the depths below
A cooling blanket against the heat of their stares
and whispers
Fiery one may you burn away my expectations
My insecurities of this othered body
This othered soul
One who follows in your liminal footsteps
Never on one side or the other
But a shade with a foot on each side
Toeing the line like a tightrope walker
Sky Treader teach me how to soar
To embrace the gifts that you have given to me
And use them for the right reasons
My cunning, my intellect
My Heart
May I learn that the keen look in your eye
Looks past my physical form
And straight into my wild soul
Ever shifting like your own
Through the grey

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.
