Don't give up
Sun
So this is what it feels like;
To wake up in the morning,
To see the sun shining,
To feel the breeze of a new beginning.

Have the world changed a bit?
Or was it the things in my head?
Because, this has been refreshing.
So— this is what I’ve been missing.

Have you tried to pour the coffee?
Maybe some tea, or what you prefer, honestly.
To be awoken with a scenery,
Of having nothing and something.

It’s beautiful, it makes my heart full,
Of the best and worst emotions,
As it gives me a sense of the notion,
I am awake and alive as yesterday.

I think I like it.
The mix of yellow, orange, and red,
Reflecting through everything
Rising wonderfully as it shines with me.
That,  like a fish swimming in silent waters, i talk with you every day,

How do you think i could put these snowflakes into words?

And what words are,  if not just fog on the grass blades?

There is so little space, a tiny crack
              where the beats of the heart hardly can breathe, and
Days are rising high  like  smoke in the sky,

What are words in the end, my dear, if not shooting guns in the forest,
the life that starts with the finish line,
The noise that comes out through the mouth of a beggar,
of a killer?
….
And yet,
still,
there is so much hope in a whisper
The words fall short
of their meaning
the one beyond the read

The lines weaken
and leave the reader
with a sense of boredom

The heartbeat
only in that cage
and fails to bleed
on pages

The papers
become satiated
with empty ink
lacking quality

The poet
loses him/her/them self/ves
in that limbo
between
head
and heart
running on a treadmill
trying to catch the fleeting muses

The poet dilutes
in reality
his/her/their greatest
fear
for that is
what they
try to escape
in every
poem

I walked the woods today,
strolled under the quite shade of
towering old growth evergreens,
their scent upon me conveyed
simple peaceful solitude, there were
birds and squirrels unconcerned
with me, busy with their own pursuits.
A young Buck Deer browsing raised his
antlered head for a quick peek, then went
right back to eating. For a moment I felt as
if I was the only human in the world and
that thought did not disturb me in the least.
I do not know much about
loneliness, I have never felt it.
That makes me a rather lucky
person. Perhaps even unusual.
There is still time
To have breakfast in bed
after we woke up
There is time to talk
Slowly
Carefully
Picking words which don’t hurt
We can still hold hands
Gaze into each other’s eyes
Be kind
Be nice
We still have time to laugh
Watch each other smiles
And be amazed
Everyday

It is not too late
Why does our soul crave someone else when we're so complete in ourselves.
calm seas, restless lungs

breathe it in
the mournful breath is out there

skin is numb

the words are too

holding still
hidden under the tongue

holding
hidden

one more dies before he gets there
(what did the letter say...?)

holding
hidden

what did it say...?

The method is slow
And probably dangerous

From your telescope
Fewer and fewer places
No advancing horizon

Are you rendering again?

Two miles of uncertainty
Too much undergloom
You don't remember his face

It's war of attrition
A home for you
No place to run
No place to hide
To live is to die slowly
