Invocation to Hati and Skoll
by Justin Rhames
Hail, Sunchaser! Skoll, we hail you,
Sunna's shadow, Footpad of Daeg!
Remind us not to waste a single day
Dithering in foolishness - may we run
In joyous contemplation of the Sun,
Devouring life as a banquet every day.
Hail Moonchaser! Hati, we hail you,
Mani's shadow, Footpad of Nott!
Remind us not to waste a single night
In lonely depression - may we dream
Of worlds and ways more glorious than they seem
In waking life when we return to light.
Remind us, Wolves of Heaven, that our time
Is not forever, and not here to waste.
There is a reason to attack our fate
With gusto, and for ecstatic haste.
Teach us to drink life down like sacred mead,
On the last day of our lives be planting seeds.
