Day’s pictures

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

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

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

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

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

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

Day 1667, noone.

Day's pictures, Poetry

The light and lingering rain

gives my mood

a muted tone

of afternoon and autumn

~

while I wander

in this light

I lookup

to an old window

~

and a thought

appreciating the mood

asks me:

~

does the window

fulfill its role

of bringing in light

in an abandoned house

Day 1666, fall.

Day's pictures, Poetry

For a few days in nature

a colorful festival

celebrates the end

of growth and feast

~

and we

admirers

in awe we forget

to celebrate

our own

14/10/2020 Christiaan van Gaal Tagged fall, life, mind, Philosophy, photography, pictures, poem, Poetry, psychology Leave a comment

Day 1665, sideways.

Day's pictures, pictures

Like our nose

we don’t see the truth

when we approach it

to close

~

we can still see

a part of it

when we close

the right eye

~

when stepping back

is not an option

13/10/2020 Christiaan van Gaal Tagged life, mind, Philosophy, photography, picture, poem, Poetry, psychology, truth 1 Comment

Day 1664, straight line.

Day's pictures, Poetry

A lot of things

that are man-made

have perfect

straight lines

going up

and sideways

~

even when we think

or speak

~

the shortest route

is a straight line

and when we look

for answers

we often

don’t wander

around

12/10/2020 Christiaan van Gaal Tagged life, mind, Philosophy, photography, picture, poem, Poetry, psychology Leave a comment

Day 1663, spilled.

Day's pictures, Poetry

From the clothespins

that are left

I can see

where you had your thought

hanging

to dry

~

I hope the blood stains

came out
