Olav H. Hauge: Don't Come to Me With the Entire Truth

Don't come to me with the entire truth.
Don't bring the ocean if I feel thirsty,
nor heaven if I ask for light;
but bring a hint, some dew, a particle,
as birds carry drops away from a lake,
and the wind a grain of salt.

Olav H. Hauge: Your Way

No-one has marked out the road
You are to take
Out in the unknown
Out in the blue.

This is your road.
Only you
Will take it. And there’s no
Turning back.

And you haven’t marked your road
Either.
And the wind smooths out your tracks
On desolate hills.
