IN THESE PLACES

  IN THESE PLACES There are these placesThe heart and mindNeed flyPlaces where we can  hideA moment or twoFrom Infinite seconds brutal and cruelUnnkind hours of pain and sufferingIn these placesDeep withinWe wander safe and freeStealing time in obscurityWhereFear and anguish cannot followTo take  and devour  What is left of usWe count the minutesEternal seconds of blissWhen we escapeIn these placesOfForgetfulness

create your own heaven

You can creat a niche in your mind where you can fly and dive to your delight. This is daydreaming which is my favourite recess of time. When you feel refreshed in this, return to this world of reality with greater energy. Opme.

WE ‘poesere oss vekk

WE 'poesere oss vekk (away) fra det som er smertefullt', oh how to say this 'poesere' a Norwegian word. I LOVE its meaning, (to myself) it is like placing ourselves in the world of poetry, its essential messages, its turgor, its dream and once there, we are no longer in the real world and yet at its heart, its point of life, its central expression of existence, its spirit of being; and at the same tme it is a disguise an overföring- en forvandling - a changing of our shape- like the frog becoming a Prince. You know Longobardolino, you know the langauge of fairy tales and dreams and can translate this word in your mind I know it! (oh how I wish I could formulate the meaning in a simple word but I can't and it bothers me) But here is where you love to go, like loving to wander beside water and see the movements and reflections of the real world that have thrilled you with their beauty and simple presence, relaxed and without anything negative present in the place or in your mind. Yes. Love to you from your Annuccia. I would like a full stop after suffering and the start of a new verse after it. it is two remarks on the 'places.' For me even more breaks making shorter breaths of utterance, and giving us short moments to reflect on the meanings of what you have written! Just me.
