To the Sami people, Jon Henrick Fjallgren
by Ethel Mortenson Davis
My ears are pointed
towards your song,
O Northern son.
It is the call
of the wild arctic wolf,
the sound of icy rivers
rushing over rock,
the kiss of hummingbird wings.
It is a siren call
that has captured me
and now brings me home
to the land of flaming green lights.
Shimmering in resonance.
You always say special things. Ethel
As do you, Ethel. ❤
So beautiful…
Lovely images, Ethel. Your poetry is always delicately beautiful.
Wonderful. I’m a great fan of Jon Henrik Fjallgren; and we had the great privilege of hearing a joik from a Sami reindeer herder when we visited Norway a couple of years ago. The aurora and the North are truly magical and you capture them beautifully, as always. Nick.
