An Endless Road

There is an endless road
which you just have to follow
I know there is a distant goal you wanna reach
sometime tomorrow

But do you understand
it doesn't end by death?
You will keep walking forever
But you will walk in happiness

Now try to walk with your heart
according to your hopes and your dreams
And you will not be blind, but see
the wonders of this world and eternity

Mustard Seed

(Dedicated to my dearest Anette, because she likes mustard)

A long time ago from now
I remember I did somehow
plant a tiny mustard seed
in the garden of another kid.
That kid was you, my dear good friend
and you'll see that in the end
the biggest tree in this land
is the one I gave to you, my friend.

Misty, Misty Forest Green

Misty, misty forest green
I know you, I know you've seen
the secrets hidden deep within
your heart, a place where she has been

Dreamy, dreamy is your trance
Almost like a fairy dance
Not many enterers have got the chance
to escape your grasping hands

'Lost' is a valid word
when I describe your killing sword
Even hedgehogs, even birds
are not shepherds in your misty world

Down Under the Silver Surface

Many stories have been lost
about the sea and of the cost
of those who fight the thunderstorm
while trying to keep their blood warm

Now the turn has come for you
to survive the giant waves, so cruel
To steer the ship, escape the depths
The giant jaw which willfully collects
...the hearts

After the storm, when waves do sleep
who knows what the ocean keeps
down under a silver surface
of the quiet deep

The Night is Quiet

The night is so quiet, quiet and still
I am awake sitting in my window sill
looking at the world out there
containing darkness but also streetlights,
like dim chandeliers
It seems like the whole world is resting
and that this moment is everlasting
I am enjoying it all that I can
It might not reappear again

Treasure Pearls

There are kinds of treasure pearls
available for boys and girls
There are riddles, worlds to see
if you curious could be

There are people you could know
Other countries, ways to go
Wisdom, knowledge, things to earn
if you reading skills will learn

Open up a book sometime
A novel or a thriller kind
A story that will give you eyes
for new horizons and new skies

You'll not understand me now
but you later will somehow
Books are shiny, treasure pearls
available for boys and girls

Le Conte de Fée

Il était une fois....
un tigre jeune. Elle s'appelle Cécile. Elle mange une petite souris un jour. Soudain un gros agneau arrive. Il dit: "Vous mangez mon trés bon ami! Honte honte sur vous!!! Cécile éructe et dit: "Pardon. Excuse moi..." Et Cécile mange l'agneau aussi, et sourit, et pense: "C'est un bon jour pour moi." Et elle alle à la maison.

Amicalement,
Kristine et Ingvild :-)

The Spell of the Well

I was crying, I was sad
and took the only coin I had
I slipped it into a wishing well
casting my own secret spell

A spell of hopes, a spell of dreams
A wish for joyful, happy things
Things I didn't own for sure
Things I need for evermore

There my coin sank down so deep
among the other coins to sleep
Now, I'm waiting just to see
if dreams come true, also for me

The Future You Dreamed of Yesterday

A flower, a cat, a star in the skies

are all blessings in disguse

Complaining is something that I despise

cause moments are diamonds in my eyes

A heart shaped stone from the sea

given by someone dear to me

A strawberry red as can be

These are blessings, don't you see?

So many people go through days 

skipping moments in all kinds of ways

They fail to perceive the sunshine rays

The moment now is the future you dreamed of yesterday
