Why ?

 

why do we love again

when love has broken the heart

why does the sun shine

when the rain still falls

why does the bird sing

when the tree has no leaves

why does a floor always creak

when need is to be silent

why do so many listen

when promises are so often broken

why do we have the choice

when so often the choice is wrong

why do we care so much

when so many do not

why is the love often frowned

when the loved is to be different

-Gary M. Dean-

I carry your heart

I carry your heart with me

(I carry it in my heart)

I am never without it.

anywhere

I go you go, my dear

 and whatever is done

by only me is your doing, my darling

i carry your heart

(i carry it in my heart)

-e.e.cummings-

Drømmer

"Fortalte jeg noen gang at jeg elsket deg...?."

 " For jeg gjør det... elsker deg..."

visket hun ut i natten

 mens hun smilte.

Så våknet hun alene
 av dagslyset som skinte inn vinduet

Missing

Missing someone isn't about how long it's been since you've seen them last

or the amount of time since you've talked.

it's about that very moment when you're doing something,

and you wish that they were right there with you

Eagle

I can fly higher than an eagle,

'cause you are the wind beneath my wings.

 

Sunstream

and the sky just opened up



Meaning of life

So I found a reason to stay alive,

try a little harder, see the other side.

Talking to myself -

Too many sleepless nights,

trying to find a meaning to this stupid life.

I don't want your sympathy,

sometimes I don't know who to be



This could be the first

day of my life

So I found a reason

to let it go



But it doesn`t

I want to say it gets easier,

 but sometimes it doesn’t get all that much easier.

Sometimes

Sometimes,

 if you stand on the bottom rail of a bridge

 and lean over to watch the river slipping slowly away beneath you,

 you will suddenly know everything there is to be known. 

-A.A. Milne-

Kom

Vil du vita kva ljoset er,

kom då hit og ver meg nær

Eg skal sjå deg, og seia deg

kva eg ser



Message for you

I am convinced

Yes...let`s just

leave everything and everyone behind

and live for the moment

you

and

me

The very same moon

Night after night, I look to the stars

Wondering where you might be

And I've thought to myself, is that very same moon

Shining on you, like it's shining on me

Keep on walking

I have a long road ahead of me

It's cloudy and dark it's hard to see

Will I ever get through to the end?

Been down this sling so many times before

And I told myself I would do it no more

Now I'm back on the same road again

I was aiming for the sky,

ended up flat on the ground

But once again the sun is rising,

I better keep on walking

-Salem Al Fakir-

Do you know?

Another autumn day

has come and gone

I walk alone through the park

I walk along so I can feel my breath

Without distraction, without no relief

You are always om my mind

and I miss you so much...

Do you know?

Sinnsro

-Gi meg styrke til å forandre det jeg kan,

 sinnsro til å akseptere det jeg ikke kan forandre,

 og visdom til å se forskjellen-

 

Skywatch

Mot ukjente landskap

Denne uro e ein vind

som rive i seilet,

- et sting i søvnig sinn,

Denne uro e ein sti

Mot ukjente landskap,

mot alt som kan gå meg forbi.

Så min uro må bli.

Denne uro e ein gnist

som tenne opp bålet

og blir ein brann te sist.

Denne uro e ein del

av liv eg har levd i.

For den som sette alt på spel,

har ein uro i sjel.

Må min uro holda stand

som vind, som bål og brann.

I alt eg har av tilmålt tid:

La min uro forbli.

-Vamp-

Sacrifice

A wise man once said you can have anything in life if you will sacrifice everything else for it.
 What he meant is nothing comes without a price.
 So before you go into battle, you better decide how much you're willing to lose.
 Too often, going after what feels good means letting go of what you know is right,
 and letting someone in means abandoning the walls you've spent a lifetime building.

 Of course, the toughest sacrifices are the ones we don't see coming,
 when we don't have time to come up with a strategy to pick a side or to measure the potential loss.

 When that happens, when the battle chooses us and not the other way around,
 that's when the sacrifice can turn out to be more than we can bear.



You can bet your life

      Yes, all that you’ve give me, I know

      But all you’ve cost me, you know

      Sums up to nothing much you know,

      nothing much at all

      

Sorry for not being what you needed

For not possessing what you

Think you want

Don’t know about anyone who does

By the way, is that why

you’re still you?

Still within yourself

Tell me which part I loved

And which one I hate the most?

Did it get you ready for later

Did the others fade out, like me?

well...

I won’t come near you again

You can bet your life

I don’t think I

Even want to see you

Ever again

-Unni Wilhelmsen-



Freedom

If I could tell the story in words, I wouldn't need to lug around a camera.

-Lewis Hine-

 



Hope

No one can take away

my hopes and dreams

of a

new start

and a

new beginning



Autumn

Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower.

-Albert Camus-



Elsewhere



I love the time and in between

the calm inside me

in the space where I can breathe

I believe there is a

distance I have wandered

to touch upon the years of

reaching out and reaching in

holding out holding in

I believe

this is heaven to no one else but me

and I'll defend it as long as I can be

left here to linger in silence

Have patience

Please don't push me,

I need to walk these stairs on my own

If you want to go faster, that`s alright.

I can`t go faster than I am able to.

Please don't push me!

I need to stay here for a while

Rest a little, reflect a little, weep a little...

go back one step, feel if I`m ready to move on

Please don't push me!

It hurts to trip over...

Maybe I`ll trip over anyway,

but at least I`ll do it my way

It`s safer that way.

Don`t try to convince me

the next step is easier

just because you`ve walked these roads before

I feel safe when you`re waiting here with me.

It is safe with you around,

I need someone to hold on to,

someone who knows the next step.

It's hard to take all these steps alone...

I'm heading on...have patience

Please don`t push me!

 

 

Autumn leaves

The falling leaves drift by my window

The falling leaves of red and gold

I see your lips, the summer kisses

The sunburned hands I used to hold

Since you went away the days grow long

And soon I'll hear old winter's song

But I miss you most of all, my darling

When autumn leaves start to fall



Courage

-Courage doesn't always roar.

Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, "I will try again tomorrow"-

Dagene som kom og gikk



Det kan være man oppsøker "gamle stier"
 når man føler seg ensom og alene

Man gjør det fordi det er godt å være der
la tankene vandre der...

 la tårene komme

slippe ut vonde følelser..

Sette seg ned...

 la minnene strømme på

de gode minnene

de gode minnene man ikke trodde fantes

minnene om en tid som er forbi

Det var en av de dagen som kom og gikk...

Humiliation

The last humiliation

The future

 We spend our whole lives worrying about the future,

 planning for the future,

 trying to predict the future,

 as if figuring it out will cushion the blow.

 But the future is always changing.

 The future is the home of our deepest fears and wildest hopes.

 But one thing is certain when it finally reveals itself.

 The future is never the way we imagined it.

People come into your life for a reason

People come into your life for a reason. The negative people usually are there to teach you what you don’t want to become, treat you how you don’t want to be treated, and to show you what you don’t deserve. Learn from it, let them teach you, and then let them go...





Sometimes the scars won't seem to heal, cause it`s too much to erase.

But eventually the memories will fade...

Moving on

Life is about making the right decisions

and moving on.

 

The road

Det finnes veier som er så smale at man må gå dem alene...



To set free...

“If you love someone, set them free.

If they come back they're yours;

 if they don't

 they never were.”

-Richard Bach-

Drømmer

Fra boken "La meg synge deg stille sanger" Av Lisa Olsson

Ro...

Ro er ikke en varig tilstand. Det eksisterer i noen øyeblikk.

 Flyktig....

 Borte før vi visste den var der.

 Vi kan oppleve det når som helst, i stillheten fra naturen, i en fremmed sin handling av godhet, en oppgave som krever full fokus eller bare komforten av en gammel rutine.

Hver dag opplever vi alle disse øyeblikkene av ro.

Tingen er å vite når dè øyeblikkene er der, slik at vi kan

 omfavne dem,

 leve i dem,

 nyte dem...

A star for you

 I know I`m not someone

Who can bring a star for you

But If it was possible

I could have reached that far for you

 

The moon

 

Beauty is a form of genius - is higher, indeed, than genius, as it needs no explanation. It is of the great facts in the world like sunlight, or springtime, or the reflection in dark water of that silver shell we call the moon

-Oscar Wilde-

Stand by

The good old days

Take me back to the good old days

where I can dance to the tune of a song.

Take me back where the family I love

is together like we all belong.

Take me back to the good old days

those days went by so fast.

Take me back, let me start all again

and this time make love last.

Take me back to the good old days

to correct the things I did wrong.

Take me back let me correct those mistake

that I have regretted for oh so long.

Selfish

You have come to show me another side of you.

The part where you are selfish in everything you do.

Imagine what I'm feeling and what this does to me.

You have got me feeling that you don't care for me.

I don't feel that on your mind.

It's how you make me feel.

It's give and take when you try to get it right.

I don't think you understand.

You haven't taken time.

-Gabrielle-

Even In The Quietest Moments

Even in the quietest moments

I wish I knew what I had to do

And even though the sun is shining

Well I feel the rain --- here it comes again, dear...

And even though the stars are listening

And the ocean's deep, I just go to sleep

And then I create a silent movie

You become the star, is that what you are, dear?

But still the tears keep falling

They're raining from the sky

Well there's a lot of me got to go under before I get high

-Supertramp-

Black and White

The Frydenlund house in Old Bergen

Sky Watch

Bergen, the city of rain

I want to feel I’m alive

All my living days

I will live as I desire

I want to feel I’m alive

Knowing I was good enough

I have never lost who I was

I have only left it sleeping

Maybe I never had a choice

Just the will to stay alive

If I could turn back time... I would...

If I could turn back time

If I could find a way

I'd take back those words that hurt you

And you'd stay

Would you love me?

Like you used to do?

If I could turn back time... I would...
