Gold In Grey…
(From Björn Bernström’s painting…)
Like a sliver of gold through sullen grey rock,
A strip of sunlight gleams upon humanity
As a charcoal storm blackens the peach sky,
Flecked blue, revealing occasional clouds of white.
And a sinister backdrop of mountain slopes
Adds to the turmoil reflected in a lake of myriad hues…
Huddled lakeside, incongruous dwellings flicker and mock
The tumult with the resilience of a close-knit community,
As the harsh weather runs amok and awry,
Rising like evil and flexing its dank might.
And the mountain slopes bristle as the squall gropes
Like dire smudges, destined again its dignity to lose…

Svolvaer, Lofoten, Norway.
It’s what I felt whilst looking at the painting.
Really like it…
