Valhalla awaits the brave of heart
A sacrifice for more than he
Amour-cladding could not prevent
The piercing sword to eternity
Now his body lays upon the pyre
But his soul has long since gone
Into the promised Eden land
The warrior’s final home
V is for Valhalla…#AtoZChallenge2019
I am teary eyed suddenly. I remembered the movie Braveheart.
