Poetry

Day 2709, in between.

Daily picture, Poetry
In between the trees
there is always a straight path 
a coincident

Day 2694, but only.

but only if I start walking it

Day 2693, drama.

Daily picture, Poetry
Thoughts are sometimes written in stone
I just hope that it is with some drama

Day 2688, kneel.

Daily picture, Poetry
I don’t kneel down for you
it’s just that I can’t get up anymore 
04/08/2023 Christiaan van Gaal Tagged life, mind, Philosophy, photography, poem, Poetry, psychology 2 Comments

Day 2686, taught us.

Daily picture, Poetry
I wondered
standing in an ancient landscape  
if the shape of a mountaintop
the recognition 
the rush we felt of almost home 
has taught us 
the love for the shape of our loved ones
and the feeling of being home

Day 2685, wander.

Daily picture, Poetry
I wonder what drives wander around in me
the one I feel alone in nature

Is it the distance of open pastures
prey at the horizon your food

or are the clouds fleeting over
contrasting in silence the time you no longer feel

is it the contrast between thinking
and not

I wander

Day 2684, follow.

Daily picture, Poetry
I ran down the mountain
and on my right the trees seem to follow 
me
but it was just an endless row of the same
even when I stopped

Day 2683, valley.

Daily picture, Poetry
It is a long time ago that I walked through those valleys 
where I saw the mountain I know so well 

I live much higher looking back
close to a path to my top

from here I can just see those valleys
where I roamed in those pasts 

and wonder
before I reach that maybe
my top has another side 
another view
valleys in between

Day 2682, from deep.

Daily picture, Poetry
We all long 
from deep inside
to the place we stood up
and saw a horizon
for the first time

Day 2681, door.

Daily picture, Poetry
All doors open
and you never know to what

remember that
the next time you see one

because life is better 
if you expect the unexpected
28/07/2023 Christiaan van Gaal Tagged life, mind, Philosophy, photography, Poetry, psychology Leave a comment

Day 2680, can you.

Daily picture, Poetry
Can you see through the ripples 
the world around
when you are looking down
in reflection  
27/07/202327/07/2023 Christiaan van Gaal Tagged life, mind, Philosophy, photography, poem, Poetry, psychology Leave a comment

Day 2679, you can.

Daily picture, Poetry
You can wonder
if a camouflaged knot
is still a knot

Day 2678, tied up.

Daily picture, Poetry
I will never be chosen first
because I am tied up 
25/07/2023 Christiaan van Gaal Tagged life, mind, Philosophy, photography, poem, Poetry, psychology Leave a comment

Day 2677, pendulum.

Daily picture, Poetry
It is pretty transparent how you sit there high and dry 
you would almost dream of a just afterlife
for a payback 

but also there
I imagine
is right the choice of a pendulum  
hanging from a high point
