Poetry

Day 3535, felt.

Day's pictures, Poetry
Who ever looks at the road they went on 
the one you felt under your feet

it seems to be
that that is almost no one
but the people looking down

30/11/2025 Christiaan van Gaal Tagged life, mind, Philosophy, photography, pictures, poem, Poetry, psychology Leave a comment

Day 3533, I opened.

Daily picture, Poetry
I opened the left green door
but it was closed

Day 3532, open or closed.

Daily picture, Poetry

Knowing is weakness 

Questioning is structural

Day 3531, look twice.

Daily picture, Poetry
I would like to display the tracks I leave
on a wall

but
you have to look twice

because my past is worth it
to look twice


at least by me

26/11/202526/11/2025 Christiaan van Gaal Tagged life, mind, Philosophy, photography, pictures, poem, Poetry, psychology Leave a comment

Day 3528, it is either.

Day's pictures, Poetry
It is either a force like gravity
or wind
that made the excess water run

it all depends
on how you interpret your perspective

23/11/2025 Christiaan van Gaal Tagged life, mind, Philosophy, photography, pictures, poem, Poetry, psychology Leave a comment

Day 3526, saying it all.

Daily picture, Poetry
The reflections
of colorful glass in broken glass
is saying it all


if I am not mistaken

21/11/202521/11/2025 Christiaan van Gaal Tagged life, mind, Philosophy, photography, pictures, poem, Poetry, psychology Leave a comment

Day 3525, you now draw.

Day's pictures, Poetry
In the future
or further away

the once sharp lines you now draw
begin to show another kind of pattern

one that hypnotizes

20/11/2025 Christiaan van Gaal Tagged life, mind, Philosophy, photography, pictures, poem, Poetry, psychology Leave a comment

Day 3524, lines.

Daily picture, Poetry
There is enough to see 
amongst the dead buildings
sprung from dreams and nightmares

it’s just a matter of perspective
contrast
some lines
and an eager eye

19/11/2025 Christiaan van Gaal Tagged life, mind, Philosophy, photography, pictures, poem, Poetry, psychology Leave a comment

Day 3523, again.

Daily picture, Poetry
My wings are not clipped
but I lost some feathers

landing hard

hopefully I still have enough
next time I drive off a cliff
again

18/11/2025 Christiaan van Gaal Tagged life, mind, Philosophy, photography, pictures, poem, Poetry, psychology Leave a comment

Day 3522, the end.

Daily picture, Poetry
Underneath we all know
but live in bliss
till the day we know
the days we have left

17/11/2025 Christiaan van Gaal Tagged life, mind, Philosophy, photography, pictures, poem, Poetry, psychology Leave a comment

Day 3521, let them.

Daily picture, Poetry
I like buildings
they say nothing
while I let them say everything

16/11/2025 Christiaan van Gaal Tagged life, mind, Philosophy, photography, pictures, poem, Poetry, psychology Leave a comment

Day 3519, a side.

Daily picture, Poetry
I did not carve that line in concrete
but it sure does
forces me

to choose a side

Day 3518, turn around.

Daily picture, Poetry

I see tree branches reflecting
in two windows close to each other

they seem to be from the same tree
maybe I should turn around
and see for myself

13/11/2025 Christiaan van Gaal Tagged life, mind, Philosophy, photography, pictures, poem, Poetry, psychology Leave a comment

Day 3516, you can.

Daily picture, Poetry
When you are inside
you can see the reflection of yourself
when you're looking outside

11/11/2025 Christiaan van Gaal Tagged life, mind, Philosophy, photography, pictures, poem, Poetry, psychology Leave a comment

Day 3514, old windows.

Daily picture, Poetry

The sky
turned gold tonight

when I looked
outside

to wonder

Day 1654

Early morning light
is framed by a closed window
reflecting my mind.


Day 964

We feel protected
by the symbols we live in
it’s quiet in there

Day 2789

Day 3512, that is.

Daily picture, Poetry
The only outcome you get 
when you measure it all
is a result
that is the same at the end
when you start over.
