The Fire Of Tomorrow - A poem based on moving on w The Fire Of Tomorrow - A poem based on moving on with life and leaving the past behind

Silence ends the madness 
To a day that’s full of pain. 
Illuminating light of hope, 
Nature’s pure refrain.

The fire dies in darkness, 
Engulfed in a sea of black. 
No room to insert fierce claws, 
Or place to attack.

Returning light of sunrise 
Drowns away the fear. 
A new chance for survival, 
Hope that’s true and clear.

The past cannot be changed; 
Our present is the key. 
The future is ours to define, 
For life’s true destiny.

Been following Morten since the 1980's with A-HA a Been following Morten since the 1980's with A-HA and as a solo artist. Sad news to read today. But if that's it. Another Scandinavian band once sang "Thank you for the music". Wishing him the best #aha
Screams of silence. A poem about domestic violence Screams of silence. A poem about domestic violence

My head is bowed in silence,
Eyes burn directly to the floor.
I hurry past the people,
Don't want to be visible anymore.

The door, it closes behind me,
Slams into the face of silence.
A prison I can't escape from,
A sanctum of pure violence.

The bedroom that I cherished,
Where I dreamt the purest dreams,
Now the only echoes heard
Are the violent thumps and screams.

My head is bowed for a reason;
It's not that I'm ashamed,
More to hide the marks and the bruises,
My only face is maimed.

People say, "Just leave,"
Yet it's easier said than done.
For love is an addiction,
It's like relying on the sun.

Escape is not that easy;
I guess maybe it will come in time.
For now, I sit in silence,
A witness to this crime.
