Music in the mountains


By Ann Åhsberg

Smashwords Edition



Early morning


There’s frosting on the window

and the sun is on the rise


it is five o’clock,

the stars are fading quietly


morning mist is gone



Sweet music


Hear tones from the mountains,

it must be a flute

you continue to play,

feel it in my soul


the sound has the right

color, mountains can it

preserve, tones of a motley

crowd dancing in the

mountains


in the evening they fades away,

adopts a weaker shade

yet so beautiful…


they will soon disappear

I come to my senses,

want to honor the flutist







Music in the mountains


I sing with the winds,

I’m dancing in the mountains


a natural Samba


don’t you be afraid,

if you feel an emptiness

music makes you whole        


sing and dance makes you good,

it’s for the soul Healthfood




Brighter days


It felt good that it

went against spring


there was still snow,

but warmer days

the nights were cold


It was long ago since

I were home …


I went up the path

to the cottage,

some snowdrops

made it’s first

tentative attempt

to see the light


when I came into

the kitchen I felt

a familiar scent


coffee …


a very special feeling

arrived


It smelled like home …




Thousand fires and a song

The guitar in my hand

going out in the summereve

to my lovely places,

prefer the beach of sand

inspired to sing a song

and play on my guitar…


an armful of thousand fires

blue meadows of heaven

I want to stay here all night long-


sun at the horizon,

the water hit the rocks

I don’t think I’m in the mountains

rather on the seaboard


an armful of thousand fires

blue meadows of heaven

I want to stay here all night long-




Whispering voice


Moss caresses me,

whispering voice of the trees


and Stone of wisdom


you’ve seen every creed and race

can read in your ancient face



Tide


Every new morning,

the tide sweeps the white beach clean

the birth of the day


Cooperation

Remember the tones from the

guitars

we caressed the strings,

two voices melted together

chasing each other

complement each other,

two guitars in symbiosis



Morning


Don’t forget dawn,

beginning of something new


purple, red sunrise




I never believed


It couldn’t happen, not to me

I’m too old, have my habits


and look at me now

here I’m standing beside you


fell in love again


it couldn’t happen, not to me

I’m too old, have my habits


and look at me now,

here I’m standing beside you


fell in love again


yes, I fell in love again …



Goodbye to old sorrows


I will say goodbye,

to sorrows of yesterday


the beauty remains


I welcome the day,

I’m full of expectation


all is a blank slate




Blissful meadows


Mother …

you walk on blissful meadows

blessed, that what I think


you’re on the other side


if I had wings like a little bird

I’d walk beside you,

hold your hand


but …


you’re on the other side


when you walk on blissful

meadows

you have no more pain,

you dance on light feet,

sing beautiful songs,

your sorrows are gone with the wind


I’ll see you on the other side …



The Circle


You and I

on Mother Earth

our love forever,

we separated one day

loss will be great,

in another dimension

we’ll meet

on the other side



A sign of spring


After a tough winter,

I’m happy for puddles


meltwater on the streets


sun on a clear blue sky,

the days are brighter


still …


thanks for the snow,

has been light in darkness


meltwater on the streets

what a feeling



 slushy  

it doesn’t matter a

a sign of spring …



The forest


Now I'm almost there,

we meet again after a long break


your paths may I enter, and

your trees surrounding me

on all sides


goes down for the long

sandy hill,

a ridge millennia helped shape


I stay on the bridge,

to looks upon the mountains

on the horizon


continued my walk,

through the forest


butterflies and various

kinds of insects follows

me on the road,

along with birds' singing

is a delight for the ear


then I finally arrived,

taking my lunch, tastes

good after the long walk


I get joined by a few

mosquitoes that thrive

here in the quiet water


they are in the extra good

mood for maybe there's

food


mosquitoes, ants, or

whatever it may be


I'm back again ...
