Day 1499, with a mind.

Day's pictures, Poetry

Day 1499.jpg

Looking

through old picture albums

in my head

~

with a mind

that fades

stares

contracts

~

and leaves me

with a feeling

that I remember

Day 1498, island?

Day's pictures, Poetry

Day 1498.jpg

I look

standing close

into the mirror

and see

emptiness

a blue expanse

an island

~

but I’m not sure

Day 1497, almost.

Day's pictures, Poetry

Day 1497.jpg

Almost

silent

~

a bird

far away

~

a bee

somewhere

~

the sea

waves

~

my heart

distracting

Day 1496, just below the clouds.

Day's pictures, Poetry

Day 1496.jpg

In a distance

the snow covered tops

remind me

of the cold

where the eagle

flies

just below

the clouds

~

effortlessly she glides

down

from rising

warmer

air

watching the world

nervously

for the pray

she needs

Day 1495, far above.

Day's pictures, Poetry

Day 1495.jpg

Standing up

hungry

staring at the sky

I slowly see

emerging

stars

far above

my horizon

Day 1494, swell.

Day's pictures, Poetry

Day 1494.jpg

A reflection

while walking

inshore

~

unsure what I sea

not looking

to the other

~

side

~

I stop

and still

stare down

into a silent

swell

Day 1493, stuck mid air.

Day's pictures, Poetry

Day 1493.jpg

I finally flew

away from a womb

~

to sow myself

to the world

~

drifting fertile

to unknown grounds

I suddenly

~

by a gust of wind

lost my drive

to end up caught

by a tree

close to home

Day 1492, half a bridge.

Day's pictures, Poetry

Day 1492.jpg

From far away

my idea

spans

the horizon

~

from the side

where I am going

to the side

I want to be

~

but now

I am closer

and not so sure

~

I can’t see

the other side

from here

Day 1491, till they take me.

Day's pictures, Poetry

Day 1491.jpg

They left me

outside here

in the cold

for all these months

~

and I still did

and do

the only thing

that I can

~

holding the line

till they take me

22/04/2020 Christiaan van Gaal Tagged black and white, life, military, mind, Philosophy, photography, picture, poem, Poetry, psychology, war 1 Comment

Day 1490, like me.

Day's pictures, Poetry

Day 1490.jpg

A new life

on finding feet

~

with each step

in warm grass

~

playing with the others

that still do

~

like I

in my head

Day 1489, leave.

Haiku, Poetry

Day 1489.jpg

Colorful

at the end

she whirled

to a welcoming

ground

~

in a quiet

corner

her life

moved away

~

at the end

of this winter

a thought

and her cage

where left

~

all

alone

Day 1488, a thousand times.

Day's pictures, Poetry

Day 1488.jpg

The rain evaporates

in an endless order

~

falling down

a fresh air

reflecting the world

a thousand times

~

it slowly slides

Day 1487, run away.

Day's pictures, Poetry

Day 1487.jpg

A private moment

caught

while walking by

~

skittish

we all look

and run away

Day 1486, arc.

Day's pictures, Poetry

Day 1486.jpg

A majestic structure

looms overhead

suspended

seemingly

in hazy air

~

the parabole

my road

hangs on

to the other side

Day 1485, I’m driving.

Day's pictures, Poetry

Day 1485.jpg

The mountains

I see

around the corner

are far away

but pull on me

~

the peaks

covered

in yesterday’s snow

hide

the unbeaten paths

I long for

~

suddenly

~

a dream

warns me

to watch the road

I’m driving

Day 1484, endless together.

Day's pictures, Poetry

Day 1484.jpg

The oceans

and land

flow endless

together

with horizons

~

with no purpose

around

the sun and center

~

till a moor

bounded

stopped the world

its aimless

turning

~

the horizon

now

is no longer

empty
