A Toast to Forgetting
Momentary relief.
Give me a flagon of joy,
Let me get drunk with happiness.
Fill my cup to the brim,
Let laughter and mirth flow in.
Let me forget, let it be like a drink,
From the Lethe, even if for a passing moment.
The sorrows of life may remain,
But for now joy shall be my wine.
A toast to life's splendid moments,
Too soon to be forgot or neglected.
Drunken on delight I shall sing,
As solace and cheer the hours I bring.
Fill the flagon once more,
There's cheer to explore!
Fill the flagon again,
with the mead created from Kvasir's spit.
And maybe, just maybe
I may lose myself in creativity.
