Month: October 2020

Day 1683, shine.

Day's pictures, Poetry

A light

does not shine

in the dark

31/10/202031/10/2020 Christiaan van Gaal Tagged life, mind, Philosophy, photography, picture, poem, Poetry, psychology Leave a comment

Day 1682, sentimental.

Day's pictures, Poetry

I am standing here

looking over a meadow

waiting for

the summer harvest

in autumn

~

It might be

sentimental

or just patient

30/10/2020 Christiaan van Gaal Tagged autumn, life, mind, Philosophy, photography, picture, poem, Poetry, psychology, summer Leave a comment

Day 1681, landscape.

Day's pictures, Poetry

Our cultured landscape

~

with fields

square

like the mind

of a farmer

and trees

planted

by the rhythm

of the ranger

~

and the road

we take

follows the creek

that brings

water

down

over rounded

stones

laying in the silt

of forefathers

Day 1680, smooth.

Day's pictures, Poetry

It froze

after the first rain

and leaves fell

~

the next morning sun

broke the ice

and we drifted

apart

~

the distance

warmed

and the rough edges

melted

~

soon

this all

is one again

Day 1679, far apart.

Day's pictures, Poetry

The world speeds by

seen through the left window

of my car

~

at a glance

I see a handful

of black sheep

grazing

far apart

~

where I come from

the sheep mostly

stick together

~

I guess these black sheep

don’t

Day 1678, distorted.

Day's pictures, Poetry

I like to look

at the reflection

of a blue sky

in one of the large structures

blocking

my horizon

~

the reflection adds

a much needed

distortion

of what I wish

to see

26/10/202026/10/2020 Christiaan van Gaal Tagged life, mind, Philosophy, photography, picture, poem, Poetry, psychology Leave a comment

Day 1677, from nowhere.

Day's pictures, Poetry

I feel an urge

to eat

it comes

from nowhere

I didn’t decide

it

~

it’s just like these words

I write here

25/10/2020 Christiaan van Gaal Tagged life, mind, Philosophy, photography, picture, poem, Poetry, psychology Leave a comment

Day 1676, stand.

Day's pictures, Poetry

If you look

~

at what you perceive

~

from the right angle

and height

~

it will

align

~

but

be sure

to stand still

24/10/2020 Christiaan van Gaal Tagged life, mind, Philosophy, photography, pictures, poem, Poetry, psychology Leave a comment

Day 1675, closer.

Day's pictures, Poetry

I see clouds

floating

above the roof

I lie

under

~

they seem so close

and far away

~

I ask myself

staring upwards

~

do I want to be closer

to those clouds

or the roof

23/10/2020 Christiaan van Gaal Tagged life, mind, Philosophy, photography, pictures, poem, Poetry, psychology Leave a comment

Day 1674, playing.

Day's pictures, Poetry

The urge

to pull

on the first words

dangling

in your mind

~

when asked

for an opinion

~

curious

for what will happen

you give

in

and the rest

arrives

~

you pulled

like the cat

with seven lives

Day 1673, her.

Day's pictures, Poetry

She was standing there

forever

still in silence

~

I could see

her posture

knew where to go

~

up the stairs

to get her…

Day 1672, ice.

Day's pictures, Poetry

The flowers

turned white

into ice

now I see

that the clock

moved the time

ahead

and away

from…

Day 1671, against.

Day's pictures, Poetry

Our energy

seemingly

comes

from the same source

~

the wall

we stand against

~

ignoring

the fusillades

we look

the other way

~

and sometimes

we meet

each other

19/10/2020 Christiaan van Gaal Tagged life, mind, Philosophy, photography, pictures, poem, Poetry, psychology Leave a comment

Day 1670, sideways.

Day's pictures, Poetry

I like to climb

higher

but all the lines

spoken

come towards me

~

I need lines

spoken

besides me

towards a step

and the next

~

please talk

besides me

Day 1669, not.

Day's pictures, Poetry

Sometimes you see

what it is not

~

the emptiness

filled

by a willing mind

17/10/202017/10/2020 Christiaan van Gaal Tagged life, mind, Philosophy, photography, pictures, poem, Poetry, psychology Leave a comment

Day 1668, waking up.

Day's pictures, Poetry

Like in a dream

that I drive out of

~

I wake up

when I come home

~

in between

these walls

my life is

real

~

the world beyond

is where I fall
