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.
