Let there be light

Photo posts, Poems/Quotes by MyStoriesWithMusicNovember 13, 2019November 13, 2019

Okay so welcome to my first ever photo post 😊. So, what it is this? (You might be thinking there already is enough types of post, but let’s try it).

So far except for a couple of selfies I have mostly used pictures from morguefile.com as illustrations for my posts. Morguefile.com is a good website and you can use pictures in blog posts if you edit them enough. And I guess since there are so many other things that I should be focusing on… like writing or making music… I really didn’t think there would be much time for taking pictures. Still I gave it a go 😊. I started simple and took some pictures of things in my own living room (and as you probably guessed from the title my theme for these pictures is of course – light-). I found that normal things can look quite strange if you try, and ordinary things can look quite beautiful. 😊

I have also taken a picture from one of the parks in Oslo, so you get to see real Norwegian snow 😊. To top it off I have added a poem at the end with the title – Let there be light.

So, let’s start with something simple and beautiful and at least in Norway very fitting for the season.

Hopefully this will make you feel the Norwegian “koselig”-feeling 😊.

The Norwegian “koselig”-feeling is what you feel like when you are inside and it is cold outside, but you have light (maybe candles), a fireplace and a blanket. Maybe even a good cup of cocoa. So let me throw in another one of these “koselig” pictures before we go on to the next 😉

I also found that it can be a lot of fun to take pictures of things that are supposed to be just normal things, but then they look a bit unusual. Like this lamp underneath. The picture makes me feel like I have landed on another planet or something 😉.

Let me throw in another one to see if I can get you to have that “another planet” feeling as well 😊

Okay so I hope you liked these. I will end with the poem and pictures that I hope will make you feel the story of the poem (they are from the park, but the last one almost makes me think of Narnia for some reason 😊).

Let there be light

Let there be light

She said

Like she really meant it

Like she really thought

That there would be

I admired

Her faith

I really did

But it was dark

Back then

And light

Was nowhere

To be seen

Let there be light

She whispered

I could hear her

Every night

The same words

Over and over again

Are you sure?

I tried

That there should be light?

But she pretended

Not to hear

There will be light

She smiled

Really?

I said

She nodded

And I followed

Do you see it?

She whispered

Yes

I mumbled

Although

I had closed my eyes
