this page is so beautiful
soft white
untarnished
by the mess that is life
no dog-ears here
no eraser marks
or scratched-out bits
soft white
untarnished
by the mess that is life
no dog-ears here
no eraser marks
or scratched-out bits
just wide open room
for words that breathe life into the smoky-haze of noise and death all around
I wrap my Elsket scarf around my head and ears
to shield me, to lead me
to cause me to be in ways that whisper my
Belovedness
like a distant tune heard by everyone
that is somehow familiar, yet forgotten
that pulls the corners of the mouth upward
where lightness weighs more heavy than worry
and joy permeates like moonlight on snow
and creativity falls like confetti flakes released from grey sky blanket
and love pours out in a hundred secret ways
Dec 30, 2016 - Elsket is one of several Norwegian words for love. I do not speak Norwegian, but my understanding of the term, is that is indicates the a very deep, intimate form of love, such as that expressed between spouses, or between a person and God.
