Steps - A Poem for Parents

Steps - A poem for parents

Steps in the dark
Sounding light
Searching for
A moment of smiles
To last the night

Steps in the dark
Approaching quietly
Just to find
A loving embrace
Making safe the night

Steps in the dark
Coming dearly
Towards my heart
She is really
The meaning of life

The Existing Lines

The Existing Lines
Here I am
Waiting beyond
Existing lines
Where you can not see me
Only those
With a good heart can find

Here I am
Waiting beyond
Existing lines
Ready to return
And so I will
If ever evil strikes

Here I am
Knowing and learning from beyond
These are my lines
War dogs shall not pass
If they arrive
I will send them back

Here I am
From where I can see
The bright, good, future
Possible
For you, for me
For all of we

Dream Forest, Forest of Dreams

Dream Forest, Forest of Dreams
A poem for Kreativa Jenny Järvholm

A week of Moon Sun eclipses
Pleiades rain
Lady bugs
In a day, in a night
Of endless hours
From end to start
Shine so much more
In the eyes
In the smiles
Of this Child of mine

Every little piece
Every little line
Blue, red, rainbow colors
Beyond the forest lights
Constructions to be made
Never found before
Once they arise
They inspire
Bringing sunshine and stars
To the eyes
To the smiles
Of this Child of mine

Planet of Mine

Planet of Mine
Planet
Planet of mine
Heat waves
Rain waves
Sand waves
Racist waves
Poison waves
Smelting life
Disappearing, changing
Into ways
Forms and shapes
We do not fit in
Is it time
Time and time
For a new Noah’s ark?
All of these
And so much wrong more
Are the effects
Of arrogant steps
Of thoughts out of phase
With the waves of space time
Planet
Planet of mine
Will you recover?
But watch out
Evil ones
For the planet of mine
Will no longer be
Home
For destructive sinful minds

Silver Road - Silvervägen

Silver Road
Inspired by Stina Jackson’s Silvervägen
Road rides
From here to Norway
From the start to the end of ways
And back
Searching for a heart
Gone with a child’s life
Sorrows for what can not be undone
New persons, old friends
The disappeared reappear
In words, shapes and sounds
Where are they
But somewhere in roads
In lines, clues and threads
Outsiders looking into
The high inside ways
Not finding the way out
Of their lonely lost self
Clues in themselves
As the road travelers
Search for lost ones
Just to find
That loneliness is also a road
Safer travelled alone
Waiting for the disappeared to return
In the minds
In the silver road
As they struggle to solve
What otherwise is
The mystery of their lives

Reflections of Life

Reflections of Life

Mirrors
Mirrors
Mirrors of life
Reflecting surfaces
All the mirrors
Side by side
Reflecting
Reflections
Lives going into life
Reflections never gone by
Staying in eternal whiles
Our lives, new life
Of the days turned into days and nights
As the mirrors reflect
The reflections of our future
Of you and I

Light Ray

Light Ray

Listening to the signs of change

While the thunderstorm rages

I see a light ray

Showing the road

Whispering the way

In the faces I see

Despair changes into hope

As the drops of rain

Wash away

The fears and the tears

The waves and the tides turn

The forces of darkness away run

The light ray

Shows the road

Shows the way

Everywhere there is much to gain

Tears transform

Into a new hope

A new day

Announcing the victory

Of the light ray.
