Poetry

Day 3253, if I choose.

Daily picture, Poetry
I don’t know if I choose to 
look through small and narrow windows
or prefer the wider view from my living room

either way
I will have my routines
after I have moved
again

Day 3253, questions.

Daily picture, Poetry
Is individuality blending in
with yourself within

or to stand out
with your inside
outside

what do we express
when we express

Day 3252, do you.

Daily picture, Poetry
I hope you understand
where I stand
without standing here
where I stand

Day 3251, for me.

Daily picture, Poetry
I don’t have to look too hard
to see that I will never fit
through the door you opened for me

I have to bow down
or go on my knees
for you

but to be honest
I would do it for me.

Day 3250, I cannot.

Daily picture, Poetry
I cannot see if you are home
from where I stand

some distance might work
or you can open up
let in some fresh air

In the meanwhile
I will look for a door

Day 3248, why is it.

Daily picture, Poetry
I sit here looking at the bricks
that make up my wall

I think it is only the last layers
that now prevent me from pushing the wall
over
it is the weight of it all

why is it always the last
and not the first bricks
are they not all the same in form
and function

Day 3247, transparent.

Daily picture, Poetry
If you look down
the road up is quite transparent

as long as you keep going
and enjoy the steps taken
you will reach a top

Day 3246, something.

Daily picture, Poetry
I like to look at my reflection
from the other side of the window

from there I can look inside
through my outside

and in the evening
the colors fade
with grey black and white

and something speaks
in forms and forms

Day 2345, accusation.

Daily picture, Poetry
I look at the roof
of the building you build
with words

I am not sure if I look down on it
or that your roof is so slanted
to cover all sides
from the erosion my words
will inflict
overtime

Day 3244, my best friend.

Daily picture, Poetry
I was just
just hanging around my shadow
looking together
the same directions

moving along

loving him
for the simpler form he is
of me

10/02/2025 Christiaan van Gaal Tagged life, mind, Philosophy, photography, pictures, poem, Poetry, psychology Leave a comment

Day 3243, if you.

Daily picture, Poetry
If you take away the blues
you end up with a grey sky

and sometimes a red line
09/02/2025 Christiaan van Gaal Tagged life, mind, Philosophy, photography, pictures, poem, Poetry, psychology 2 Comments

Day 3241, at most.

Daily picture, Poetry
Reflection is important
just make sure you are not in the picture
or at most
upside down

07/02/2025 Christiaan van Gaal Tagged life, mind, Philosophy, photography, pictures, poem, Poetry, psychology Leave a comment

Day 3240, tempt me.

Daily picture, Poetry
It is clear to me how to open the door
but it feels
you say
I shouldn’t

so why tempt me

Day 3239, lighter.

Daily picture, Poetry
Down at the bottom it can be all dark grey
but be assured
at the top
the greyness is lighter

05/02/2025 Christiaan van Gaal Tagged life, mind, Philosophy, photography, pictures, poem, Poetry, psychology Leave a comment

Day 3238, dark.

Daily picture, Poetry
It is hard to look inside a dark room
for all involved

inside your eyes get used
but what do you see

outside your eyes are used
to see what you know

04/02/2025 Christiaan van Gaal Tagged life, mind, Philosophy, photography, pictures, poem, Poetry, psychology Leave a comment

Day 3237, I can’t.

Daily picture, Poetry
My balcony
I don’t have one
but I often stand on one

looking at the sea
the one I don’t see
but for the distance
I do remember

I love the distance
where my thoughts disappear
and I don’t have to
I can’t
catch them
