Bolted

Bolted

Through the eye of the needle. What can you see.

Through the eye of the needle. What will fit.

Through the eye of the needle. What will thread.

Through the eye of the needle. What’s on the other side

Through the eye of the needle. Camel or man.

Sometimes better not knowing, ha de Gött!

Tranquility

Tranquility

If I had to choose a favorite season it would be autumn. The variety is not only in the colors. The weather offers daily surprises. Strong winds one day and the complete stillness in between. Heavy cold horizontal rain and indian summer sun an hour later. The first nibble of frost in the morning while the animals harvest for winter storage.

Easy does it, ha de Gött!

Lake View

Lake View

Perhaps today it’s time to sell the house. This is the view from my home office today. After several days of heavy raining the meadow has turned into a lake. The wild apple tree cast its beautiful autumn image to reflect in the still water. For those concerned, the cows are indoors already. More rain is expected so I’ll have this for a few days, hope I get some work done at all.

Everything in moderation, ha de Gött!

Autumn colors

Autumn colors

tone from green
yellow and red
gust chilly wind
gently single down
birds formation fly
far away land
left behind
on the ground
fade and dry
yellow parchment
wind tossed
in shorter days

I wrote this to the autumn, inspired by the colorful leaf. Forming the words, I realized it was about me being left behind. Some days you just feel like a fading leaf, ha de Gött!

Mental Health

Mental Health

Your brain, can be fantastic
but also, a pain in in the ass
The darkness can fall, and hit you, hard
You can decide, but it is sometimes hard
The struggle goes on, the struggle goes on
The struggle goes on, the struggle goes on

Pray, it will be better soon. Hold tight
God, will it be better soon. I must be

My head, can be fantastic
Every day, a pain in the ass
The darkness will fall, and hit you hard
Run for your life, run far
The struggle goes on, the struggle goes on
The struggle goes on, the struggle goes on
The struggle goes on, the struggle goes on
The struggle goes on, the struggle goes on

This song lyrics was written a year ago by my son, Edvin. Just a few weeks before he passed away. It’s a punk rock song where he also written music. It is only partially recorded as he wasn’t fully pleased with this song. Even so, I’ve decided to post it. This was his first attempt to write lyrics so he asked me what he should write about. I answered, try to explain how you see the world and I think this text bluntly expresses his struggle. He did record another song that you can find on Spotify (link). Ha de Gött!

Blown In

Blown In

after covid months of home working
crowded tight together, no joking
family sat down, had a voting
daddy won, let's go boating
out to the free, wide blue
recharge energy, need this true
now they sit leeward, close together
caught by the harsh windy weather
either way you choose
you can win and, or loose

Feather

Feather

Light shivering grass
Loss flyby goose
Lingering winds brass
Lonely shadows loose
Swirl away class
Wind lead choose

Like the feather this poem does not really know where it’s going. Ha de Gött!

Beverages

Beverages

Whiskey, beer and gin
that can't really be a sin
sink down some pints of ale
mouth becomes full of tale
even Jesus had some wine
true, several tellers intertwine
all needs to taken with moderation
else drive the toilet seat, no hesitation
credit card in the bar sail astray
more stories to tell at the hallway
last night to this was tempted
now, gut wrong way needs to be emptied
in a bucket full of sorrow
wish there be no tomorrow

Please drink responsibly, ha de Gött!

Introductions

Introductions

Introduce yourself, that short, get to know.

Introduction to start of a training course or workshop.

Meet up with people you don’t know before.

Your name, company, your job and for how long.

Extracurricular activities and interest, not a problem.

But then.

Wife and two children, oldest 23 and one year left at university.

Studying to become high school teacher in Swedish and history.

Still quite easy, what next.

Youngest son should have been 21, but last year passed away.

Make everyone feel uncomfortable, but…

He’s still my son forever in my heart.

Never mention him, as if he never existed?

Pretend he’s still alive and at his second year at university.

But he will never be a computer science engineer.

His ash is in an urn.

Grief throws many punches in everyday life. Specially in situations you don’t expect. This needed to come out.
