Poetry

Day 3295, ether way.

Daily picture, Poetry
I don’t know if I support you all
or that you support me

ether way
we are all where we are
supposed to be

Day 3294, sometimes.

Daily picture, Poetry
Sometimes I get the urge
to turn it
and see what happens

Day 3293, a single piece.

Daily picture, Poetry
The spiral stairs you take
up or down
is made of a thousand
individual pieces

and though you put it there
you haven’t made a single piece
of it

Day 3292, more light.

Daily picture, Poetry
I have the feeling that between the light side
and the dark side
there is more light

but maybe I am wrong
I just don’t remember
that it was dark in between
and that is something you normally do remember

Day 3290, out of bed.

Daily picture, Poetry
My whole house started tilting
but I didn’t roll out of bed

it wasn’t a dream
my eyes were open
staring at a ceiling
disorientated
the tilt went on
the other way

the remedy I knew
if this needed healing
was to get up
and so I did

Day 3289, stop.

Daily picture, Poetry
Out of necessity our houses are square boxes
it reflects the corners where our thoughts stop

if only we had round houses

Day 3288, open mind.

Daily picture, Poetry
They say fresh air is good for the mind
it removes the dust settled on your thoughts
you can see again how it once shone
and recognize

where you once were

but do make sure
you know your fresh air
that it is not coming from another

inside
but an open mind

Day 3287, first step.

Daily picture, Poetry
Even though the door you stand for
is held up by heavy hinges

you are afraid
you can’t open it

if only the door had a window
so you know
your first steps can be taken
safely
so your choice
can slowly surround you

Day 3286, forgotten angles.

Daily picture, Poetry
Your roots grow into your crown 
the life you wear so proudly
or not

but when you reflect
the shadows on a white wall
all the roads you have traveled
the dead ends with their views

you can only hope
there are no windows
from dark rooms
reflecting angles
you forgot

Day 3285, Is there only.

Daily picture, Poetry
Consciousness  
one of those words that gets a meaning
when spoken in a sentence

I am conscious of that

Is there only consciousness
when in relation to something else?

23/03/2025 Christiaan van Gaal Tagged consciousness, life, mind, Philosophy, photography, poem, Poetry, psychology Leave a comment

Day 3283, that we feel.

Daily picture, Poetry
I feel like I walk in nature 
between these old
abandoned buildings

is the absence of people
the cause
that we feel nature

21/03/2025 Christiaan van Gaal Tagged life, mind, nature, Philosophy, photography, pictures, poem, Poetry, psychology Leave a comment

Day 3282, an uplifting speech.

Daily picture, Poetry
Your life might be monotonous 
and it probably is

but in a quiet moment
looking over it
you might still see some slight
changes
of a grayish white hue

Day 3281, signs.

Daily picture, Poetry
Some signs say it all
otherwise some translation might help

19/03/2025 Christiaan van Gaal Tagged life, mind, Philosophy, photography, poem, Poetry, psychology Leave a comment

Day 3280, I am.

Daily picture, Poetry
I am thinking about a future
about problems not arrived
about my imagination
that has

maybe it’s all that’s old lying around
reminders of my memory


how to forget
and not


I am thinking

Day 3276, me.

Daily picture, Poetry
I just like to look at the one that supports me

Day 3275, about nothing.

Daily picture, Poetry
Just focus on yourself
is what they say

don’t look behind
secure yourself

wisdom for the ones
who are alone
and dream about nothing
