Life, now…

by Kjell Einar, from Norway

Life is a constant fight,
both strange and painful
being experienced from the sideline

Life is a fight against the time,
and my weapon is an inextinguishable sparkle of life
nourished by winds of life lived.

Life is not at all a matter granted,
- life is a privilege!

Everything is experienced more intensely, now,
colours, shapes, life,
sounds, fragrances, tastes.

And I have to have something to reach for
to avoid falling to pieces.
