Change Christmas for peace

Carpe Diem Special #186
Georgia’s 2nd ”days of Christmas”(choka).

dark nights and dusk days
stars are bright and sky so black
cold feet are stumping
while the children are wishing
carol songs in air
and Christmas coming closer
handicrafts and food
crowded over filled markets

I’m standing beside
I’m thinking about the world
I’m in the middle

dark and brutal days
scaring black nights of horror
no stars can be seen
heavy feet running away
wishing for safe life
no holiday in sight yet
will there ever be peace

I’m feeling so sad
I’m both inside and outside
Want to change Christmas for peace

My Blue World

Skrivpuff: Tredje meningen på en sida mitt i boken – Canon EOS 6D.
På fliken {camera4} väljer du {Bildstil} och trycker sedan på <set>.

Ja jag gillar att testa.
Man lär sig på vägen,
tänker jag.
Förhoppningsvis
då mot en egen
personlig stil
i fotograferandet
Efter en svartvit
period
stannar jag
i det monochroma
och väljer blå ton
som jag hittar till
själv
men inte i
handledningen
Åh detta gillar jag!
tänkte jag
Min egen bildstil.
Min värld är blå.
blå blå blå
And I like it!

Ps. Är fortfarande inne i den blå perioden 🙂
Ingen höjdare till skrivpuff men jag är trött
efter Nobelfesten (på iPaden).

Facing Reality

Daily Prompt: Life Line.
You’re on a long flight, and a palm reader sitting next to you insists she reads your palm. You hesitate, but agree. What does she tell you?

Are you ready …
to face the reality?
Yes I am.
Well …

first ….
you will meet
some very interesting
people of the world
it’s what you
like most isn’t it
*said with a 😉 *
and
you will go on being
that strong
creative
independant
woman
you’ve always been
until the end

then ….
you will be told
by your doctor
you have cancer
incurable

finally ….
you will decide
to make that trip
to New Zealand
as you always
dreamt about
but …
while over the ocean
the flight will
blow up

-Thanks for your time, I said.
Now I will go out for my daily walk-about with my Canon
to face people and reality.

Ps. It’s not true but it could be.

So far away

A Special for hook-line-and-inkwell

Swedish English
jag stod framför
dig
det kändes så
fast vi var kontinenter
ifrån
varandra
du jobbar för freden
i världen
där långt borta
jag upplever konstens
alla snillrika former
här
där jag är
långt ifrån
dig		 I was standing
in front of you
it felt so
although we were
continents away from
each other
You work for peace
in our world
so far away
I enjoy all kinds of arts
here
where i am
so far away
from
you

Working on the Top

her tears fell
silently
after just having left
her friends
the couple
of two souls
they went their way
and she hers
all alone
feeling the sadness
over an ended marriage
after some long time
of years
some tears
fell
then she went on
the yourney
in her own life
not so sad
any longer

Daily Prompt: Sorry, I’m Busy.
Tell us about a time when you should have helped someone… but didn’t.

should and/or would
about different
situations
circumstances
demands reflections
 a conscience
”should” is probably
very different
from soul to soul

In my case –
I act and react
probably too much.
My own guide line
is very
string and strict:
”Birgitta,
you must live
in a way
so you can be
proud of
yourself!”

For me – there is no other way but sense and ethics!
If someone is in danger – I act …
No money to beggars in the street …
Children are most important …
