The mist and the landscape evoke memories of the poet's childhood, and she longs to return to the time when she felt safe and happy under her father's roof. There is also an acknowledgment that a time has passed, and the melancholy that something will never be the same.
Thank you from heart Torbjørn and Arne for this collaboration. 

Mild the mist upon the hill
Telling not of storms tomorrow;
No, the day has wept its fill,
Spent its store of silent sorrow.

O, I'm gone back to the days of youth,
I am a child once more,
And 'neath my father's sheltering roof
And near the old hall door

I watch this cloudy evening fall
After a day of rain;
Blue mists, sweet mists of summer pall
The horizon's mountain chain.

The damp stands on the long green grass
As thick as morning's tears,
And dreamy scents of fragrance pass
That breathe of other years.
Emily Jane Brontë
Emily Jane Brontë (30 July 1818 – 19 December 1848) was an English novelist and poet who is best known for her only novel, Wuthering Heights, now considered a classic of English literature. She also published one book of poetry with her sisters Charlotte and Anne titled Poems by Currer, Ellis and Acton Bell with her own poems finding regard as poetic genius.

And Did Those Feet (Jerusalem)
by William Blake

And did those feet in ancient time
Walk upon Englands mountains green:
And was the holy Lamb of God,
On Englands pleasant pastures seen!
 
And did the Countenance Divine,
Shine forth upon our clouded hills?
And was Jerusalem builded here,
Among those dark Satanic Mills?
 
Bring me my Bow of burning gold:
Bring me my arrows of desire:
Bring me my Spear: O clouds unfold!
Bring me my Chariot of fire!
 
I will not cease from Mental Fight,
Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand:
Till we have built Jerusalem,
In Englands green & pleasant Land.

Fight for the light      
Mine for the truth in darkness
Illusion takes flight
With reality’s face before it

Find the pure life
Truth’s grace is shining on it
No more in strife 
Discerning and learning from it

And the light is now shining It breaks through the clouds 
And your mind is expanding dispelling your shroud
Light has found you has  snatched you from death's dark embrace           
Free to fly in God’s love and to seek out his face

Fight for the light
Share truth and light with others
Guide them to home
Becoming God’s sons and daughters

Lift others up 
Courage to find the center
Of truth and light
God is their joy and mentor

And a light is now shining it breaks through the clouds 
See your heart is expanding dispelling your shroud
God has found you, has snatched you from death's dark embrace
Free to live in his law and rejoice with the brave

Oh, the joy
Oh, the peace
Oh, this light
Given to thee
 
Born in God's arms
Child of God now in covenant 
Loving his law
Trusting his righteous judgment 

Nothing before
Everything in his glory
Filled with his light
Singing to share his story

And a light is now shining it breaks through the clouds 
See your heart is expanding dispelling your shroud
God has found you, has snatched you from death's dark embrace
Free to live in his law and rejoice with the brave

Fight For The Light

All rights reserved January, 3 2025

Inside, the heart still aches
There’s no way around, all the sights and sounds that greet the day
What will it take
Just To climb that hill, such a bitter pill..that lingers there

Outside, the air is light, as the sun appears, and you feel the fears
Begin to grow…another fight
Then you hold the tears and the yesteryears
Inside your mind…

Now I’ll be on my way watching days go by
Searching to find a way and wondering why

Til then I’ll try again, as I watch the change through the windowpanes
And soldier on into a world
Such a pointless cause stuck in these four walls
As darkness falls

Now I’ll be on my way as days go by
Wasting away and a wondering why…

Darkness Falls

“This song is for all of us writers who sometimes lose inspiration.”

“ Questa canzone è per tutti noi scrittori che, a volte, perdiamo l’ispirazione”.

Emozioni
È strano, non ho niente da dire  
Il fiume di parole è fermo  
Come un lago che si specchia nel cielo  
Scorre solo la mia vita silenziosa

È strano, la mia penna è immobile  
Muta come una roccia in fondo al mare  
I miei pensieri volano liberi  
Ma non si posano su nessuna emozione

Emozioni, la vita è fatta di emozioni  
Emozioni, belle o brutte  
La vita apatica non fa per me  
Vorrei un carico di emozioni

Mi manca il vento che scompiglia i sogni  
Un temporale che scuota il mio cuore  
Mi manca il brivido di una notte insonne  
Un po’ di fuoco che scaldi le parole.

Resto qui, in questa calma apparente  
Aspettando che qualcosa mi sorprenda  
Che una scintilla accenda la mia mente  
 torni a danzare lenta.

Emozioni, la vita è fatta di emozioni  
Emozioni, dolci o amare  
Meglio piangere che restare fermi  
Meglio sentire che non provare.

Emozioni, la vita è fatta di emozioni  
Emozioni, dolci o amare  
Meglio piangere che restare fermi  
Meglio sentire qualcosa in fondo al cuore.

Emozioni

Dopo francese e italiano “Una storia di mille volte amore” anche in inglese. 

“It’s a story of a thousand times love”

Mine has now become a sweet obsession  
A constant thought that plays in my mind  
A recurring dizziness that takes hold of me  
A force that overwhelms me, thinking only of you  
I could tell you that I’m madly in love  
But words are not enough to express what I feel  
Together we have taken the world in our hands  
Like a crystal ball to read the future, tomorrow  
And like indelible ink, you have marked my destiny  
You took my heart in your hands with your sweetness  
And you gifted me your soul like a beautiful flower  
And you filled our great story with light  

It’s a story that goes  
It’s a story that gives  
It’s a story of a thousand times love  
A thousand times love, a thousand times love  

Like a child in the arms of someone who cares for him  
Happy to dive into a sea full of love  
And you, like a wave, pull me under with your passion  
And in those moments, the universe stops just for us  
Like a lighthouse shining in the midst of a storm  
I follow you, sure to find your warmth  
You are a ray of sunshine that warms and after a bitterness  
You comfort me by holding me close to you  
In this story that transcends all boundaries  
There is no scale to measure the strength of love  
And we, who are happy like two little children  
Are grains of sand that make the world spin  

And the world goes on  
And the world gives  
It’s a story of a thousand times love  
A thousand times love, a thousand times love  
A thousand times love, a thousand times love  
A thousand times love, a thousand times love

It’s a story of a thousand times love

My latest song writing effort.

NORTHERN LIGHTS by Nova J

[Verse 1]
I saw the Northern Lights last night
Slicing the sky like birds in flight
The sun goes down, the shine departs
Half a year of endless dark
If you were here, I wouldn’t complain,
But I walk alone on this frozen lane.

[Pre-Chorus]
Through the cold, through the unknown,
This empty town don’t feel like home.
Your eyes were bright, steady, and true,
Now all I see is the dark without you.
(Oooooh oooooh)

[Chorus]
Just us two was all I knew
Now I’m still here, but half of me’s you
Win or lose, I can’t undo
The life we had, just me and you
(Oooooh oooooh)

[INSTRUMENTAL]
(Northern Lights… Northern Lights…)
Oooooh ooooh 
(Northern Lights… Northern Lights…)
Hmmmm

(Northern Lights… Northern Lights…)
Oooooh ooooh 
(Northern Lights… Northern Lights…)
Hmmmm

[Verse 2]
I’ve seen mountains split in two
But nothing broke me like losing you.
The earth can shake, the sky can fall
Saying goodbye’s the hardest blow of all
When sorrow calls, I can’t confide
I only whisper to the other side

[Pre-Chorus]
Through the fire, through the unknown
I stumble on, but I’m alone
Your hand once held me, your love the flame
Now I cry and call your name (mmm)

[Chorus]
Just us two, our time was true
But night keeps falling, I can’t break through
Win or lose, I’m bound to you
Just us two, without you

[INSTRUMENTAL]
(Northern Lights… Northern Lights…)
Oooooh ooooh 
(Northern Lights… Northern Lights…)

(Northern Lights… Northern Lights…)
Oooooh ooooh 
(Northern Lights… Northern Lights…)

[Bridge]
The colors rise where the shadows go
Green and violet, the heavens glow
I search the stars for a sign of your face
A fleeting spark in the vast of space

[Outro]
(Northern Lights… Northern Lights…)
Oooooh ooooh 
(Northern Lights… Northern Lights…)
Hmmmm

Through the cold, through the unknown,
This empty house don’t feel like home.
Your eyes were bright, steady, and true,
Now all I see is the dark without you.

(Northern Lights… Northern Lights…)
Oooooh ooooh 
(Northern Lights… Northern Lights…)
Hmmmm

(Northern Lights… Northern Lights…)
Oooooh ooooh 
(Northern Lights… Northern Lights…)

Just us two, our time was true
But night keeps falling, I can’t break through
Win or lose, I’m bound to you
Just us two, without you

(Northern Lights… Northern Lights…)
Oooooh ooooh 
(Northern Lights… Northern Lights…)
Hmmmm
(Northern Lights… Northern Lights…)

Just us two, without you

(Northern Lights… Northern Lights…)
Oooooh ooooh 
(Northern Lights… Northern Lights…)
Hmmmm
(Northern Lights… Northern Lights…)

Just us two, without you

Northern Lights

Playing chess with Frank

Never settle for second best !



Why chase a spark when you can light a flame
Why play it safe when wild’s the name of the game
A paper boat won't sail the sea
Dream bigger than the sky
Why not be free

They say too high
Too far
Too bold
But diamonds come from pressure
Not from gold

Why settle for less .mp3

Chemicals by Nova J

[Verse 1]
We’re sitting in a circle on a basement floor
Sharing bottles, chasing something we can’t name anymore
The lawyer’s still in his tie, but he’s losing his home
Dealer’s got the power now, and he won’t let it go

[Pre-Chorus]
He looks so calm with the smoke around his head
Like he found peace, but I know his dreams are dead

[Chorus]
And he keeps talking ‘bout the chemicals
Like they’re medicine, like they’re saving him
But I can see the writing on the wall
It’s critical, it’s pitiful
The way we fall for chemicals

[Verse 2]
I took a ride on a ship too far from land
Bought my comfort in a hallway with a shaky hand
Flashing lights and bodies pressing, but I felt the sea
Rising in my bloodstream, dragging under me

[Pre-Chorus]
I woke up in a cabin, faces I don’t know
The story never changes, just the cast in the show

[Chorus]
And I keep talking ‘bout the chemicals
Like they’re medicine, like they’re healing me
But it’s a carousel I can’t get off
It’s cynical, it’s biblical
The way I pray to chemicals

[Bridge]
I watched a friend turn blue on a hotel floor
Two strangers slipped away and stepped out the door
I swore I’d never be the one to meet that fate
But here I am, still bargaining with chemicals again

[Final Chorus]
And we keep talking ‘bout the chemicals
Like they’re medicine, like they’re heaven-sent
But the spiral always feels unstoppable
It’s beautiful, it’s terrible
The way we worship chemicals
