Enga mellom fjella

Let morning come

Let morning come

Let morning come

 moon setting

 mist parting

just after dawn

 the dark vanquished



Just after dawn

 seed-pecking

 heads bobbing

two mourning doves

 as hawks circle



Two mourning doves

 elms weeping

 oaks swaying

dark earth renewing

 God's promise



Dark earth renews

 kids waking

 eggs breaking

Grits on the run

 the job calling 



Grits on the run

 car purring

 horns blaring

Work to be done

 the boss circles



Work must be done

 clocks ticking

 phones ringing

Lunch on the run 

 the day dragging



Lunch on the run

 nay-saying

 bill paying

"Check's in the mail"

 the God-promise



Check on the mail

 eat supper 

 watch movies

Tuck kids in bed

 an owl hooting



Tuck self in bed

 moon shining 

 drapes swaying 

Night hawks squawking

 the day ending 



Night hawks silent

 dream-flying  

 thoughts tossing

just before dawn

 Let morning come

ME:

Strong winds but no hail like in Oklahoma nor tornadoes like in SW Missouri. Elm branch has split and is in danger of falling on the house. The landlord has been informed.

Called Steve about finding a place in Emporia to live. It would be best if I can resolve this by the 15th so I do not get over-stressed.

Got Carol singing O Holy Socks; then Ranita joined in.

I've started going through clothes (Who needs 7 pairs of gloves? How did I end up with 7 pairs?). Must do papers, writings and books. Papers will be the most tedious; writings must be organized carefully; worn clothes can be tossed; books just need to be boxed and there aren't many.

Finished the movie "Hamsun" about Knut and Marie Hamsun, the Norwegian authors. Hamsun is known for his great novel Growth of the Soil; although I thought Hunger was awesome. The movie covers the time of the War when Hamsun supported the Germans over the British. He was also for Norwegian sovereignty, freedom and did not approve of how the Germans handled the occupancy. He lived to see himself branded as a traitor and wrote On Overgrown Paths before he died.

Soon the tulips will bloom and the tree-buds will be out:
