Say it in silence

                                                                   At Uppsala University- April 2012

                                                              
Sorrows are our own
When inflicted by us
And even otherwise;

Truth leaves us
To reach a zone
Of comfort, built by the wise;

And ugly old Wizard
Shows the way
To be young and beautiful, once again;

I am sorry
But do I know the answer
Or do I have to wait;

‘Say what you must’,
Summons the priest,
But say it in silence.

The ages of wisdom

It begins
And it ends
Where it begins when it ends;
Truth and Lie
Are intertwined
Knotted and inseparable,
Returning to where belonged
Made wise
By the grand tour;
And now
To tell, honestly
Who lied and when?
The precious word
Of the great men and women
Who saw it all, Come through the ages of wisdom.
