Which secrets are kept by this timeless being?
How much weight their branches have still to endure?
With a dense foliage it
Hides a cumbersome truth
For inwards is a burden of nine worlds!
Descending from the heavens
To the top of this giant tree
The air fizzles and sparks erupts
From nowhere to see
Multi colour rainbow named Bifrost
A highway to mortal's host
The cosmic tree, never rests, never plea
It's name Yggdrasil
Grows of the past and forever will last
Even with Nidhogg at its hell
Sturdy roots bind planes together
From Hel to Asgard
The spiritual and physical life
Is carried by elongated arms!
A channel of vitality to the slums
As a well, a spring, or a fountain it brings
Brings the substance outwards
Defiantly is resists to the passage of time
To never collapse!
But it's roots are chewed by the accursed Nidhogg
Other perils lurks with the form of ants
With hunger they feast upon it's buds and leaves
From the underworld
Serpents attack the most tender wood
Leaving wide gashes where pieces
of vibrant bark stood
Those wounds are repaired
Every morning by Norns
Sprinkling them with water
Preventing its decay
The cosmic tree, never rests, never plea
It's name Yggdrasil
Grows of the past and forever will last
Even with Nidhogg at it's hell
