Month: February 2021

Day 1803, white window

Daily picture, Poetry

I see something interesting

behind those dark windows

~

I can’t see inside

only the part

that faces me

~

and that is white

like a blank piece of paper

Day 1802, trespassing.

Day's pictures, Poetry

I know

when I parked in your garden

that you made room

for a limo

and not a little bike

~

and I mean it

I know that

Day 1801, slave revolt.

Daily picture, Poetry

We are all slaves

Taken apart

by the time

we live in

~

you can step on me

as a slave

but your freedom

to hurt me

guides me

~

shows me an other way

into you

Day 1800, the right tool.

Daily picture, Poetry

I have to treat you

when you surface

differently

~

when you’re in the corner

or stretched out

unevenly

~

either way

I have to be sharp

and treat you

your excess

Day 1799, small.

Daily picture, Poetry

I only see the shadow

in front of me

of the door

I stand in

and half opened

~

is it because I feel

so small

~

or because the door

feels

so big

24/02/2021 Christiaan van Gaal Tagged life, mind, Philosophy, photography, Poetry, psychology Leave a comment

Day 1798, corrugated.

Daily picture, Poetry

I saw these two hand prints

in the dust

touching

the corrugated glass

~

I wondered if it was you

and me

trying to feel

you

~

or did you never touched

what us divides

while I waited

Day 1797, open up.

Daily picture, Poetry

It seems that I can only open up

these windows

all at once

and let the fresh air in

~

maybe I have to break

just one of them

to only let you in

Day 1796, between.

Daily picture, Poetry

I saw through the ice

a shape emerging

~

I don’t know if it was you

that let me see

or me

~

but we know

it’s something between us

and the ice

Day 1795, I forget.

Daily picture, Poetry

I see a lot of tracks

leading away

and towards

~

I know I made some

when I wandered around

~

but I forget

if I don’t see a pattern

20/02/2021 Christiaan van Gaal Tagged art, life, mind, Philosophy, photography, Poetry, psychology, Society Leave a comment

Day 1794, model number.

Daily picture, Poetry

I shine with my light

on the model number I am

~

besides the number

I see no warning lights

but my hour counter

is stuck

~

do I want to upgrade

or just live on without counting

19/02/202119/02/2021 Christiaan van Gaal Tagged art, life, mind, Philosophy, photography, Poetry, psychology, Society Leave a comment

Day 1793, tools.

Daily picture, Poetry

My tools

are not as old as I am

~

they are part of me

but not unique

~

they can be passed along

when I am gone

~

if someone wants them

18/02/2021 Christiaan van Gaal Tagged art, life, mind, Philosophy, photography, Poetry, psychology, Society Leave a comment

Day 1792, forwards.

Daily picture, Poetry

Normally

when you fly

the forwards motion

pushes you up

~

maybe

we are out of shape

17/02/2021 Christiaan van Gaal Tagged art, life, mind, Philosophy, photography, Poetry, psychology, Society Leave a comment

Day 1791, progress.

Daily picture, pictures

Sometimes the clouds

seem to be the only thing

that changes

16/02/2021 Christiaan van Gaal Tagged art, change, life, mind, Philosophy, photography, Poetry, psychology, Society Leave a comment

Day 1790, the current.

Daily picture, Poetry

Sometimes I lean against the current

so I don’t smell myself

Day 1789, dilute.

Daily picture, pictures

We often have to climb high

and far

away from our pride

~

before we can vent

whats burning

inside

~

and it can help

to stand straight

because appearance

dilutes

Day 1788, windows.

Daily picture, Poetry

I wander

in my head

~

searching for a view

through a window in the rooms

facing the side

where the sun goes down

~

as if beauty

or the hope of a next day

beholds an answer
