At The Same Time
A Poem
A piece of bark
A leaf
Isn’t it funny how life seems
To be simple, yet profound
At the same time
A singing lark
Complete
In its song, like the rings
Of a tree trunk
Fresh, yet worn
At the same time
The old becomes new
What our forefathers knew
Forgotten, yet remembered
At the same time
Taking us back
Moving us forwards
Life spins round in circles
What comes up
Must come down
At the same time
Now as before
All of us are
Breathing in
Breathing out
Like the waves of the sea
Salty, yet sweet
At the same time

I love this so much, Hege. Your poetry has a way of being so simple and accessible, yet also so elegant, all at the same time.
