The final goodbye

was pronounced today

The difficult one

The hardest to say

I wish I could look

into your eyes

and see you

looking back

one more time

And meeting your

lovely smile

once again

I wish I could call you

but you won’t be there

We lost an uncle

and a friend

And heaven gained an angel

The worst part of

saying that final goodbye

is that it is so definitive

So final

So entirely The end

Why is it difficult to part with my childhood home

when my childhood is long gone?

Why is it hard to hear others view

when I’ve decided against my heart?

I walk away

Taking my memories

Giving them

– and myself

a new home.

I’ve been so lucky to receive e-mails from people that are reading my poems. It all started Wednesday with the Cat O’Mally.

Then my friend in Brüssel sent me his morning photo Friday

And today the photo was taken in a garden in the south of France

So my book gets around 🙂 If you want to buy it you can purchase “3898 ord om livet” from this site. It is in Norwegian, though 🙂

  1. My book is for sale on the publisher’s site, what a rush to see my book as an item for sale!
  2. I’ve presold over 250 books, and that’s before anybody has read one of my poems!
  3. As I posted the news on Facebook about my book being for sale on my publisher’s site, the response have been huge and purely positive.
  4. I’ve gotten great feedback on the cover, people seem to like it, and get it.
  5. The cover was my idea, my photo, my best friends feet, my chosen colour,,, my dream
  6. I now I said five; but I’ve got one more: By tomorrow I’ve reached 40 000 hits on my blog! Thank you so much for reading and following !!!

I’ve written about my book before, and you will probably hear about it again… soon. Like, when I have a copy to hold in my hand…

On My Way To Reach My Dream

Yesterday my first book was sent to print! I’m so excited! Since the day in June I got the letter from the publishing house I’ve been in a surreal and dreamy state of mind, whenever I’ve been thinking of the book. And now, the manuscript is finished, corrected and displayed, and sent to printing.

My book is a book of poems, all stating something about life and feelings, and it has now the title “3898 ord om livet” which can translate to “3898 words of life.” My poems are about the many processes we go through living our lives.

To make the cover, I asked my very best friend to put on a nice pair of shoes and walk for me. Taking photos of her legs in the woods of Sweden was a funny experience. It was cold and windy, but I. was the perfect top model, and worked those shoes. When talking to the designer from the publisher, I asked if I could get a light green background. The result is actually so good; a great part of my dream came through when I saw the book cover.

The book will be available in bookstores in Norway in good time before Christmas, and I hope it will become an appreciated gift under the tree.  

You’ll hear more about my book when it comes from the print house, in about six weeks’ time. Until then; I’m still surfing on my happy wave on my way to reach my dream.

I made a decision today

that changes my life

For the better, I hope

If not

I will cope

Because there is

a new dawn

I can swim

I won’t drawn

I will win

My freedom

My future

I am me

My hope of a sky blue

did not come true

This day

stayed

grey

in frame

and content

trough out

hours

My love

My thoughts were

with you

Always

Staring into

a sky grey

letting the minutes

run away

a weekend away, arts, Ellen Gill, poem, poetry, traveling

Dream thoughts

flies through my mind

I got caught

and a little blind

when I realized

tomorrow starts

The weekend away

I love to travel

is all I have to say

for myself

And I do this

for myself

and for my dream

It’s only mine

if you know what I mean

Natures freezing position

Cold

Freezing

feeling inside

My heart’s

beating

Cold

Nothing is

so beautiful

as natures

freezing position

My freezing

feeling

Is the opposite

of beautiful

But a walk

here

Get my

heart calmer

and

head clearer

Christmas Party

arts, Christmas, Christmas Party, photographie, poem, poetry

The room is full

Friends and colleagues

Joining the holiday spirit

Talk about nothing

Laugh about anything

Spectacular food

Traditional

and full of taste

Wine’s pouring out words

from all of us

even the most quiet

And the alphas

become specialists

in every subject

The prude finds

her inner Madonna

The secretary finds

her boss

the workaholic finds

a soulmate

and discuss next years

strategies

the alcoholic forgets

this night strategy

The room is full

Of party people

And the other ones

The ones that wish

they could leave know

And the ones that

are afraid to miss out

on the fun

on the gossip

on the free coctails

Christmas Party

The joy and struggle

once a year

Happy Christmas

                                          -Ellen Gill-
