Near and Far

Near and Far

So mysterious it sits there in the night sky. Sunbathing, casting just a glimpse of light in the dark. So near, so far.

Poetry, songs, stories, horror, hope, longing, envy. Mind provoking since ancient times. Guiding travelers across land and sea, a friend.

Like a cheese full of holes. Knocked about and bombarded by the universe. Hide and seek in twenty eight day cycles.

Howl at the moon, it’s good for you (but not for the neighbors), ha de Gött!

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!
