THE SAD THINGS POETRY PROJECT

We face sad things daily. At home and outside. We are surrounded with sad things delivered by the media. We see it in the other people’s eyes and we find it in our own hearts after dark. Every time I am in contact with a sad thing I make an effort not to give in and become sad myself. I try to look in the eyes of the Sad, search and find something positive or funny in it and perhaps even smile in its face. Come and find with me the positive in the sad using poetry.

Vikings (FIGHT!)

Swords, axes... shields
In hands able, craving to kill
Pointing at bear flesh,
Ready to bleed. Die.

Burning eyes,
Boiling hearts,
Ready to die now -
Never surrender.

Hard bodies -
In flames,
Stronger will
In our veins.

Silent moment in time.
Then a scream screams
"FIGHT!"

Rain, blood, mud, flesh,
Guts,
Victors and dying -
Enmeshed.

All things, and gods are now

One.
In that one moment,
All's done.
