Enga mellom fjella: where from across the meadow, poems sing from mountains and molehills.

You dreamed this path
You dreamed this path

you dreamed this path:
trim, well-tended, gently curved
swept clean of twigs,
spent blossoms, weeds,
ugliness and pain;

but you couldn't keep
the blooms in bounds
when once you looked away
nor me as I strayed
to smell that one weed
you forgot to pull.

It looked a bit like me,
neglected, sad
among that overwhelming beauty,
yet there it rooted
even bloomed
if only just for me.

This was the path
you chose for me
the one I wandered off
to find my way
among those weeds
and thorny friends
whose ugliness and pain
became the mirror
in which I could be
myself, a me,
that you could never see.
