Let us love
All we can,
While we can.
We are here
For only one
Beautiful
Moment in
Time.

#poetry

Even when
The moon
Is a fraction
Of herself,
She still moves
The whole sea.

#poetry

Let me
Be moved
By love
And rage
In equal
Measure.

#poetry

There is a
Darkness inside
Of me so true
It must contain
The stars.

Margareta Nilsdotter (obiit 1630) was married to Henrik Hybertsson, the shipwright behind the Vasa. When he died, she took over the business and directed the final year of construction on the ill-fated ship. (She had no say in its flawed design - that was the king's fault.)

But get this. One of her grandsons was Lasse Lucidor, one of the century's most famous poets, venerated by C.M. Bellman! ❤️

“He kept repeating that I was causing fear and alarm, people could be placed in a state of fear and alarm because I was reading out this poem about dead babies, dead children,” the activist went on.

“He said if you do that again, you'll be arrested. I said, well, hang about till 1.30 because it'll be getting read out again.”
