Time

Time

In our time,
We have none

Too precious to waste,

Rushes past us,
Do we rush past it?

The only thing we have in abundance,
Until it leaves us behind.

An illusion of the past,
Chasing an unknown future.

Live!
Here and now,

Worrying about the future,
Is paying interest
On loans not yet received.

Each day has enough
Of its own troubles.

Our best time is now, is now, is now!

Swedish Version in this link.

Tick, tock, ha de Gött!

Written and recited by yours truly at our choir summer concert on the Swedish National Day, 6 June 2025.

Sculpting

Sculpting

Endlessly moulding 
Elements flow
Freely 
To see what, today
Can become, tomorrow
The universe strive
To chaotic order
Floating
Like grain of sand
Through the fingers
Of God 

Svensk version (Swedish version) 
Skulpterar
Oupphörligt formar
Elementen flödar 
Fritt
För att se vad, idag
Kan bli, imorgon
Universums strävan
Mot kaotisk ordning
Flödar
Likt sandkorn
Genom fingrarna
På Gud

Are we not, only a grain of sand in the universe? Ha de Gött!

Family

Family

A family of Greylag goose (anser anser). The parents keep a close watch on me as they swim out of my reach. I hope some of the chicks survive this year. Assuming this are the same couple as last year in this spot, last year they had fewer and I don’t think any survived. I could count ten chicks, how may can you see?

Nature is beautiful but hard, ha de Gött!

Mirage

Mirage

Hägring
Allt du byggt är en hägring.
Rinner snart genom dina fingrar.
Kvar kan du bara lämna kärlek.

Tiden visar oss ingen nåd.
Som sandkorn för vinden.
Är vi jämlika i tidens öken.

Mirage
Everything you built is but a mirage.
Soon slipping through your fingers.
Only love you can leave behind.

Time show us no mercy.
Like grains of sand in the wind.
We are equals to the desert of time.

It is better to be loved than remembered, ha de Gött!

Happiness

Happiness

Lyckan
Satt på gyllene pedistal.
Jagar vi och tillber vi den.
Driver oss i olycka.
Men lycka är bara en biprodukt.
Av given du fått.
Och hur du spelar den.

Happiness
Sat on a golden pedestal. 
We chase and worship it. 
Drives us into misery. 
But happiness is just a by-product. 
Of the hand you’ve been dealt. 
And how you play it.

I’m H. A. P. P. Y, I’m sure I am, I know I am. Ha de Gött!
