Lightness of being
darkly believing
in two
finally seeing
nodding, agreeing
with you
living and ageing
loving is freeing
Joyfully beaming
no longer dreaming
I knew
winter is gleaming
sleeping is fleeing,
be true
darkly believing
lightness of being.
Here we make love by Paul Gaugain

Björn Rudbergs writings 
This is a sweet one. I specially like the contrast of your refraining lines Bjorn:
darkly believing
lightness of being.
Nice first and last two lines about darkness and light and nice sound.
I love this…the words just fit perfectly ….
I’m not comfortable with the lai at all, Björn, it is too stilted for me. However, I enjoyed this lai very much as it has a gentle rhythm that flows. I like the phrase ‘lightness of being’ and the intimacy of the first stanza.
Loving is indeed freeing and give us lightness of being.
Beautifully written BJörn

I agree that the Lai is a toughie. I think you’ve worked it out here. It’s delicately done.
I like this, though I am not comfortable with the form myself. 🙂
I thought the previous one I read better.
