In this world

Bounce around inside your soul

Searching for a space content

Perhaps then you can comprehend

How to be who you are

Without the benefit of being seen

Who you might not be

Critical

In this world

Bounce around inside your body

Chasing all the fears away

Maybe you will learn to accept

How to be who you are

Without the benefit of being hurt

Who you might not be

Noticed

In this world

Just keep moving

It’s all a test

But

We don’t keep score

Life

A challenge

After all

Nothing is a given

But

We keep on going

Life

A bargain

That keeps giving

It is all just what it is

But

We keep the illusion

Life

A journey

Needing living

By Simone Beatrice Naik Hagfeldt, 2014-03-31.

Coping with Momentum

Today

Spring claimed its hour back

Slowly giving us rewards

Greedily

We keep score

Soon

Summer will claim its lustre back

Slowly giving us rewards

Hungrily

We yearn for more

Then

Autumn will dress up dusk

Slowly eroding collective benefits

Sadly

We’ll light away the dreariness 

Eventually

Winter will rob us again

Slowly creating an illusion of stealing time
Angrily 

We'll relent - waiting to start again

Between Lovers

We will never know

The complete conversation between lovers

Each version

Banging

Its own rhythm

We will never understand

The complete loss between lovers

Each casualty

Kicking

With untold tragedy

We will never recapture

The complete reality between lovers

Each chapter

Groping

Beyond accidental familiarity

By Simone Beatrice Naik Hagfeldt, 2014-03-31.

Trading

We trade the seasons

Like surplus ideas

Years slipping by

Noticed

More experience in the bones

Less time on the balance sheet

Opinions expressed direct

Values

Treasured

Discreet

We trade the decades

Like surplus seasons

Years slipping by

Treasured

More memories in the heart

Less time on the balance sheet

Disappointment gradually brushed away

Dreams

Chased

Vigorously

We trade our dreams

Like surplus years

Disappointments slipping by

Movement

More focus in the mind

Less time on the balance sheet

Hope

Occasionally walks by

Living

Still the best

It seems

By Simone Beatrice Naik Hagfeldt, 2014-03-29.

Perspectives

Now and then

I envy your privilege

Against

My hardships

The I gladly remember

My battles in life

Made me strong

A survivor

Moving along

Sporadically

I envy your courage

Against

My complacency

Then I dare to remember

I’m seldom complacent

A natural challenger

Moving along

At times

I envy your calmness

Against

My restlessness

Then I dare to understand

My crazy spirit

Is part of me

Moving along

Split Seconds

Blink

It is a flash in time

Everything the same

Contemplation

Somehow

Keeps me

Sane

Smile

A Flash in time

Happiness descends

Worry

Momentarily suspended

Perceived insecurity

Upended

By Simone Beatrice Naik Hagfeldt, 2014-03-29.

Mood Swings

Melancholy

Sometimes knocks on the door

Often

More frequently than we expect

Suddenly

We are getting lost in regret

Any small matter

Makes us

Fret

Contentedness

Often

Knocks on the door

Sometimes

More frequently than we expect

Suddenly

We are getting suspicious of its effect

Any small matter

Makes us

Forget
