As part of the summer concert with the choir, Kristall, I sing with I was asked to recite a poem of my own. It’s much more fun to say yes than no. So with butterflies in my stomach and shaking like a leaf I did.
Here is the English version, video in Swedish at the end.
Breaking through
always there
even in the darkest hour
behind the thickest cloud
in the longest night
trust it
hold on to the promise
close your eyes, and dream, day
hold it, in your heart
evening sun reflects spectrum
blue, green, yellow, red
shadows fade, all the way into black
an eternal whirling dance
of sun, and earth in the universe ballroom
we spin along
hoping to catch, the golden moments
like dancers focus their eyes
a frozen beat of rotation
we stay with the spin
without falling out into oblivion
Faith, Hope and Love
Light breaks through, always
To boldly read what no man has read before, ha de Gött!
