A dream
A thought
Time enough to feel the breeze

A picture
A feeling
A long walk under the Aspen trees

Snowfall
Birds call
Springtime brightens up the sky

Contemplation
Revelation
Long hellos and sad goodbyes

A wink
A word
A smile to carry you through the day

A truth
A dream
Memories guide you along the way

The hug
The tears
The pain that follows you through the years

The water
The laughter
The wind that cleanses you from your fears.

Come take a chance
The spiral dance
Let’s weave a trance and see

Just you and me
With just a glance
A lifetime to be free

Let’s walk the road
And learn the code
Let’s burn the fire hot

Let’s dance the night
With moon so bright
And remember what’s forgot

The spiral dance
Let’s take a chance
Come weave a trance with me

We’ll burn the codes
And pave new roads
And dance till we are free

Let’s dance the dance
Till morning comes
Our bodies burning bright

Then hands raised high
We’ll meet the sky
And set all wrongs to right.

En dikt jag skrev när jag var 15 16 år, där runtomkring. Jag kommer ihåg den än.

Field and Stream

Field and stream before the sunset
Nature’s beauty to behold
Fleeting glimpses of a daydream
Almost real, and yet still old
Beauty’s passage – everlasting
Feel the blast of icy cold
Mournful cries of death deceiving
Eyeing something new and bold
Crying out for life and living
Yet still waiting to be told.

1975-1976

Ny dikt.

Some bear the weight throughout their lives
Never asking why
Some dare to dream but not to live
Until the day they die
Some see the cross but not the light
Shining in their eye
Some try to run but always walk
Even though it makes them cry

We know so much, yet cannot see
The truth for all the lies
We need to feel a touch of spring
In the winter of our lives

What message do you seek my friend
Whispering through the pines?
What goals will you abandon now?
What will you leave behind?

When you leave this worldly life
What will you have to show?
What will you give?
What will you take?
What is there left to know?
