the gods had made
a perfect earth
yet still and not
given mankind birth.
while walking along
on the warm sea seand,
odin saw two logs
and dreamt up an idea for man.
into an ancient elm
odin did breathe life.
it twisted and spilt,
revealing a wife.
and into an ash
from a primeval land,
he breathed life again and
created a husband.
his brothers then
knew what to do.
they fashioned gifts
for the bewildered two.
gently draping
clothes on the pair,
the gods watched
as began a new era.
