Climate warming is bunkum some say.
But I wonder what happened one day,
when a stark naked horde
swam and splashed in a fjord
in mid-winter in balmy Norway. ...

An infinite schriek
Passing through nature,
Featureless, ungendered,
Not an individual creature
Frozen in time
Overlooking a fjord
More than a century later
Is still highly adored

A warrior can be an artist,
but can an artist go to war

Can the craftsman ever breathe the fire,
that tempered the blade he forged

The warrior-poet not the poet-warrior,
the difference in the score

All fury do his words inspire
—to bridge the liars fjord

A warrior can be an artist,
  but can an artist go to war

Can the craftsman ever breathe the fire,
  that tempered the blade he forged

The warrior-poet, not the poet-warrior,
  the difference in the score

All fury then his words inspire,
—to bridge the liars fjord

Once an ardent surfer, she’s called Marie,
living now land-locked, she misses the sea.
She mounts an ironing board,
as the room turns into fjord.
Hands stretched, she surfs on fantasy with glee.

There is a green
Beyond all green
That hides behind the wintry white.

a green so sweet
that tears slip from the eyes
and turn to dew upon the ground.

the green so sweet
that beloved dead burst into flowers
before the  snow sings in the summer.

Bird song
Dances
In the sweetness of the green---
And as it slides into the sea
The blue sings in reply....

He keeps brandishing a sword 
That sort of him makes a Lord,
Plus the Illicit gin they hoard 
And his plane they’re about to board 
That shall soon fly over a fjord; 
To his territory of control, quite broad.

He keeps repeating that he is The Lord
To co smugglers – A horde, 
In whom his words strike up a chord 
But mainly witnesses to how his sword 
Had into two cut a spinal cord!...

I can't find words
overwhelming happiness
can't be measured
you fill my heart with joy
I can't utter the word
just let my tears roll down
from my eyes, wearing my gown
I will run along the fjord
and fall into your loving arms.
Come now, Sweetheart!
I'll entwine you with my charm
concurring and benign
promise we'll not break apart
forever, I'm yours
and you be mine.

Thoughtful glaciers left a beauty of a fjord on Mjosa Lake
I stare at the gorgeously formed mountains in the distance
Are there peeping eyes under their white snowy hair?
I am not alone on the water today; I feel spirit, embracing me. 
It is not a mere angel this time, it is holier than that.
Possibly Archangel Michael or God himself is watching me.
Will amazing Aurora Borealis lights show themselves tonight?
My heart leaps a bit, as I ask myself this.
I am not alone on the water today....
