If you knew me you might say
This one's a big anomoly
A paradox from another age
But live with modern technology
The horseman who drives today
A swordsman without the need
An artist in a world still grey
A talker who can do the deed
Dressed up to work, but works to play
Strong but silent and soft of word
Always survives anything thrown
Humor quite sharp, deep, or absurd
Knows the ettiquette when with Royals
Knows the cultures of distant land
Whether it's science, art, or life
These are all things I understand
Philosophy or the dark side
Children and animals are drawn
Reasoning, thinking, solving in mind
Skills that to many are long gone
If you had hoped for such a thing
Why would you pause on the seeing?
And once the chance fades to another
It's you to blame for self freeing

Too much chaos in their mind
Knowing only failing faith
See the prize and yet be blind
Still well bound by inner wraith
Seeking one to make them whole
Yet their chance they pass each day
Until when at last they see
What they seek has pulled away
When you cry unto true gold
It will weather salty tears
Luster still is shown untold
Though reforged throughout the years
So I tire of the games
From the ones who do not play
Hypocrits the women strange
Lost by choice in muddled grey

My heros are folks you may not know
My heros are those who stand for good
The ones with desire to think and grow
Who dont always do what we think they should
My heros dont wear capes or bend steel
My heros cannot fly without a machine
My heros are those who care for the world
My heros are children who keep the parks clean
My heros are folks who rebuild from disaster
My heros help wildlife and animals needs
My heros volunteer at homeless shelters
My heros give time, and money, and deeds
My heros dont need to be in the news
My heros hold doors for others when walking
My heros fix flats for stranded strangers
My heros will listen when others are talking
My heros help children to find their way home
My heros train guide dogs to help those they can
My heros share smiles with elderly people
My heros have hearts that are big and grand
My heros are black, and white, and all colours
My heros are older or young, any age
My heros all come from all different places
My heros are beautiful on every stage
My heros are men and women with heart
Their courage for life is amazing and strong
My heros have goals that set them apart
My heros seek truth to overcome wrong

I can feel the serpent song
That evades your ear
I just know where I belong
Though that brings some fear
Others fear what they dont know
Except dumb or daring
How can you bask in the glow
If you loose the caring?
I can hear the serpent song
Vibes that chill the weak
I am ever in quite strong
For the paths I seek

Posted: 1/15/2009 8:13:38 AM | - THE MAGIC LAND ( DENMARK/DANMARK ) -
Standing silent on the train
Farms of mark shrouded in fog
Storks framed well in rising orange
Hunting fields for fish or frog
Walking on the sleeping street
Magic pulses through the ground
Here the magic never failed
From the times no longer found
In the air a life unique
As if breathing in a thing
That explores your very soul
Then enhances your living
People smile and speak a tongue
Rooted deep in times of olde
And the flag oldest on earth
Speaks of Gods and people bold
Plants and animals seem better
Something fills them with more vibes
Nourished by a slowing time
Fueled and rich from ancient tribes
Waters shallow in the fjords
Purple starfish in the bay
Swans that swim where Vikings fished
Seagulls rule the skies by day
Oh the magic like no other
Fires forged that never died
People who still walk the spell
More than simple grounds of pride

Posted: 1/16/2009 9:32:41 PM | - WIND DANCE -
Winds sweep endlessly across the desert in storm
Eating at the red and cream sandstone
Carving slowly a form of elegant decay
Converting rock to sand that must serve it's master
Wind racing and kicking the sand into a flurry
Dust devils dancing in the wild
The same wind that enslaves water and vapor now dances the earth
And in it's passing there is a renewal
A silent relief that treats in the sun
Hollowed giants that defy for a time
But ever lossing their war with the unseen

Posted: 1/17/2009 9:16:07 AM | - IN MEMORY OF SONJA -
My wonderful grandmother
Yesterday I felt it
The void
The emptiness
And today the phone call
Ninety-one years of incredible memories
At last faded
A passing that tears at me
My closest family member
My dearest childhood memories
Oh and the stories
The survival of World War two
Hiding my grandfather from the Ghestapo because he was a policeman
Her brother Leon imprisoned in Denmark by the Germans
The most decorated freedom fighter and war vet in Denmark
The years after
The travels and adventures
The quiet times
And a thousand memories all passing with her
A great treasure lost
A great void in my soul
But my love for her will be eternal
That can never die!
Jeg Elsker dig Mormor! Jeg skal aldrige glem dig. Du er i mit hjarte altid! Favel Fru Pedersen. Jeg kan husk alt. Tak fra Erik.

If you could stop the clubbing of seals
Defenselessly bludgeoned regardless of squeals
If you could stop killers who slay for a buck
Who say that it's needed as they run amok
If you could shake government like Stephen Harper
Who protects destruction while numbers drop sharper
If you could stop biorape by Sarah Palin
Endorsing industry so Belugas are failin'
If you could tell Japanese whale poaching slayers
That the world abhores them and all their perveyors
If you could mute Glenn Inwood from speaking
Preaching extermination that he's seeking
If you could tell Taiji bay fishermen loudly
Stop slaying dolphins and tainted meat proudly
If you could help polar bear suffering starvation
Or Narwhales just butchered for horns and frustration
If you could do all these things that I list
Wouldn't you feel good and never remissed?
Truth is you can act and that your voice matters
If you are willing to speak up fear shatters
- Erik -
Talk to your local representatives. It does not matter where in the world you are, or what your nationality is, all that matters is that you speak up and do your part. The smallest to the largest effort, to inform others, contact government officials with concern, support initiatives, clean a park or a beach, recycle waste, support the environment, it all matters. IF you are willing to stand up and make a little effort.

Posted: 1/23/2009 3:02:40 PM | oh, eric! i am sooo sorry to hear that. big hug, sweetheart. 
ode to var
what can i say about sweet var
i know she liked riding in the car
even if the trip wasn’t too far
near you, she’d always wag her tail
and make you smile, without fail
she was the heroic star of many a tale
i know that she was very smart
and that it hurts to be apart
but var will always be in your heart | |

I Have some rememberances to her on the previous page.

- REIGN OF STROMATOLITES -
That they wrestled with darkness from deep inside
But conscience found no champion
The explosion that shattered the beauty pristine
The rot of greed that hurled so deep
No science to share with death on their lips
No voices of reason among greedy hands
The butchers of mother who shear off her gifts
A profit foretelling the songs of the echo
And in her constancy they cheer
But behind them she nods as her children are slain
The lopping of bodyparts sheer mutilations that suffer the hope without any dawn
A longing for more and ever hands reaching
No matter to think with, no matter at all
Hacking and killing the untold beasts
Day and Night without a respite
And she in disgust now closes behind them
A smile bittersweet for all that has passed
Her hands many billion that now reign the humans
Hers hands many billion to suffocate all
A sentence for life that they forced upon her
Please kill us great mother for we have been foul
Oh for the tears that she will now weep
Pain in the gripping of billions alike
Squeezing them all, freeing her kingdom
Only the tiny shall her grasp spare
Only the smallest shall hold dominion
Fade off humanity
Fate for most life

Posted: 5/4/2009 8:10:54 PM | The sharks of the world are lingering low
A hundred million killed each year you know
That's one hundred ninety point two each minute
We're killing them off and now they can't win it
And when we go too far with slaughtering sharks
The age of humanity will die real dark
For we need the shark if we are to live
A trade for our life is what they can give
For sharks feed on fishes and crustaceans too
Which all feed on algae, and green plants it's true
So without the sharks their numbers will jump
And fat on our lifeline these all will grow fat

Posted: 10/25/2009 8:29:13 AM | welcome back, old friend.....
internal bleeding
move on without a sound
you've taken what you want from me
I'll see your face around
and you'll see what you want to see
I'll never let you know
how very much you meant to me
I'll show a smile and so
give back the heart you lent to me
and chalk it up to life
and lock that door and hide the key
and someday when it's safe
remember who we tried to be
