Summer
The classic image
Of an old movie
The luscious green
Of a summer scene
Visions of beauty
Will never diminish

Blue and Black
Leafless branches
Dark against the sky
Scary some say
But I am taking my chances

Time for a small

Sofa
Inside, the warm inviting sofa
In one of the towns in Europa
It may have been fancy once upon a time
But even in its condition it suits me just fine
In honour of Kalevala Day 28th of February, Celebration
“Words shall not be hid
nor spells buried
might shall not sink underground
though the mighty go.”
― Elias Lönnrot, The Kalevala
Kalevala Day (Finnish Culture Day) in Finland 28th of February
The Kalevala or The Kalewala (/ˌkɑːləˈvɑːlə/; Finnish: [ˈkɑle̞ʋɑlɑ]) is a 19th-century work of epic poetry compiled by Elias Lönnrot from Karelian and Finnish oral folklore and mythology.
It is regarded as the national epic of Karelia and Finland and is one of the most significant works of Finnish literature. The Kalevala played an instrumental role in the development of the Finnish national identity, the intensification of Finland’s language strife and the growing sense of nationality that ultimately led to Finland’s independence from Russia in 1917.
The first version of The Kalevala (called The Old Kalevala) was published in 1835. The version most commonly known today was first published in 1849 and consists of 22,795 verses, divided into fifty songs (Finnish: runot). The title can be interpreted as “The Land of Kaleva” or “Kalevia”.

Concrete Bench
Feeling cold and down
When sitting with a frown
This concrete seat
Is my defeat

Moon and Sun
Early morning blue skies
With the crescent moon up high
The sun soon to be rising
Both of them each other sizing
Neither of them compromising
Soon enough, two bright lights
Shining up in the skies

Tracks
Early morning after snowfall
The snowy blanket filled with footfalls
The early birds got up for skiing
And down the snowy road now fleeing
