Purple Crossing

Utan samtal får man aldrig veta

han fattade bågen
siktade
tvekade en sekund
koncentrerade sig igen
drog in luft
höll andan
släppte av pilen
den träffade
mitt i hennes
hjärta

hon drog en suck
av lättnad

Jag blev nästan själv lite förskräckt när jag såg vad jag skrev “träffade mitt i hennes hjärta“. Det ser ju hemskt ut! Fast jag tänkte ju bara på att det var kärlekens pil. Därför kom de två sista raderna till.

Men de är ju nästan hemska de med! Ville hon att han skulle ta livet av henne? Eller var det kärlekens pil som – hon kände – träffade?

Precis så här är det i verkliga livet!
Det är inte alls så som det ser ut! Det är på ett helt annat sätt!
Därför är det så viktigt med samtal!

Utan samtal får man aldrig veta.
Så är det bara!

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.

Blue Open Door

Daily Prompt: Pick Your Gadget.
Your local electronics store has just started selling time machines, anywhere doors, and invisibility helmets. You can only afford one. Which of these do you buy, and why?

finding myself
confronted
facing options
like always
in life

since I know myself
and I am not
a messy gossiper
I don’t choose
invisability

since I know myself
and I am
very curious
I just love
open doors

since I know myself
I will start
open  the doors
one after
the other

… and I will not
shut them!

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 …
