Aerandir Poem Decoded

Character	Original – Meghan	Original - Aerandir	Decode
Introduction	The leaves were long, the grass was green, The Willow Herb tall and fair; And in the glade a light was seen Of stars in shadow shimmering.	The leaves were long, the grass was green, The Willow Herb tall and fair; And in the glade a light was seen Of stars in shadow shimmering.	Long leaves, green grass and Willow Herb = Summer Glade. So, entering Astral via Ygdrassil in Efferendil (Summer Glade). ‘Light was seen’ so portal is active.
Just Meghan	Meghan was dancing there To music of a pipe unseen, And light of stars was in her hair, And in her raiment glimmering.		Light of stars in her hair – so now on the Astral
Just Aerandir		There Aerandir came from mountains cold, And lost he wandered under leaves, And where the Elven river rolled He walked alone and sorrowing.	Mountains cold = Ice?; ‘Wandered under leaves’ and ‘the elven river rolled’ so it is not winter here. Seems to refer to travel from Ice to Water to sorrowing(-ve) = Salt
Aerandir looks at Meghan		He peered between the hemlock- leaves And saw in wonder flowers of gold Upon her mantle and her sleeves, And her hair like shadow following.	Hemlock is a poison and sign of death (Negative) - via Ash next? Flowers of gold (Fire) upon her mantle sounds like a lava flow. Shadow following? Could be Magma?
Meghan looks at Aerandir	She caught her breath and looked anew And saw the sadness of lost youth In his reddened eyes of deepest blue And knew her feelings were mirroring.		Caught her breath, could be Air to sadness (-ve) = Vacuum – Negative To Water (for her) while he is in Fire (red/blue mirroring)
Transition to Both	Without a word they both reached out And touched in wonder to embrace Like a fly to the spider Aerandir without Fear at their contact love blossoming.	Without a word they both reached out And touched in wonder to embrace Like a fly to the spider Aerandir without Fear at their contact love blossoming.	Touched in Wonder – so come together in Positive Him = Fire – Radiance – Positive Her = Water – Steam – Positive
Together	Like day meeting night the pair entwined Their passion as bright as setting sun And with mortal ties left long behind They crossed the bridge without lamenting.	Like day meeting night the pair entwined Their passion as bright as setting sun And with mortal ties left long behind They crossed the bridge without lamenting.	Day meeting night = Hel? Positive and negative only ‘meet’ on the Prime, or possibly any of the disc of elemental planes (air-water-earth-fire) ‘as bright as setting sun’ – a sunset is often seen as the sun setting ‘fire’ to the horizon. Bright Passion = Radiance to Fire? Mortal Ties left behind = realm of the dead – accessed via bridge = Norse = Hel’s domain. Ash-Negative-Niflheim!!
