Military Service
on the barber's chair
looking at my hair
piled on the floor
I did adore
now hardly any hair
this life doesn't seem fair
but sacrifices are made
for freedom isn't a trade...

On Coast Guard Nordkapp
My neighbor presumed dead - drowned
Young man nineteen years

Military service
Life ended too abruptly
Deeply missed and loved





Rest in peace, Sindre

You are the first thing 
I think of when I wake. 

The sky outside is blue, 
But I pray it is bluer for you. 

If there is rain…?, 
May it water the flowers,
closest to where you walk.

Storms, violence and war,
My heart lingers in prayer
here…
for “your” every breath. 

Come home soon.
You are missed. 
We are broken, 
and…less without you.

Your family,
Your friends,
Those that know … You,
lift you, think of you, 
Pray… for you. 
 
Amen....
