Poetry

Day 3768, meeting.

Daily picture, Poetry
I am on my way
not with a goal
but with a purpose

I am distracted
without a purpose
but with a goal

we don’t notice
each other
but if we keep going
we might meet

Day 3766, shifted.

Daily picture, Poetry
The end of the forbidden street
fades out
out of sight

because my focus
shifted

Day 3764, memory.

Daily picture, Poetry
The streets are brightest
when it is quiet

like the early morning
when natures memory wakes you

when your thoughts
wander free in light

just before the anticipation
is coming
of what you know

Day 3763, falling down.

Daily picture, Poetry
The dark buildings surround 
me


looking up this massive dark wall
I do see light


but the darkness is concrete
and the light is just


reflecting
on tears falling down

Day 3762, with windows.

Daily picture, Poetry
Letters form words
words get meaning
meaning is obeyed
a wall is erected
with windows that reflect
nothing

Day 3761, nature takes.

Daily picture, Poetry
I constructed all of this
to hold the noise out
to become myself

and now nature
takes my view away

Day 3760, warn you.

Daily picture, Poetry
A dead end
forgets you were there
but it will always warn you

Day 3759, I am standing.

Daily picture, Poetry
I am not sure if I can go to the left
or if I stand with my back
against the wall

I do know
that I am standing
still

Day 3757, empty.

Daily picture, Poetry
There is an emptiness 
between the window
and where the water drain

it is empty
because there's supposed to be
something

Day 3756, the key.

Daily picture, Poetry
I cannot really go down anymore
to all the rooms where the doors are closed
I can enter them
but there is an eerie silence
even the dust hangs still in the air

I cannot go down there
because I closed the doors
because I am afraid to throw away the key

Day 3755, hold on.

Daily picture, Poetry
In the shadow I found my relief
a door that is closed
something to hold on to

Day 3754, spread cheat of life.

Daily picture, Poetry

Day 3753, today.

Daily picture, Poetry
They don’t mind the rain
from pouring in
as long as the other
stays out

06/07/202609/07/2026 Christiaan van Gaal Tagged life, mind, Philosophy, photography, pictures, poem, Poetry, psychology Leave a comment

Day 3750, in this world.

Daily picture, Poetry

I didn’t expect the mess
when you opened up

but I will take you apart
remove what is rotten in you
and straighten you out

not because I love you
but to make you
yourself again

love plays no role
in this world

Day 3749, to fit.

Daily picture, Poetry
I need your past
In part
your outer skin
in place

so I can replace
your spine
to fit

02/07/2026 Christiaan van Gaal Tagged Boat building, life, mind, Philosophy, photography, poem, Poetry, psychology, woodenboat Leave a comment

Day 3748, our tomorrow.

Daily picture, Poetry
Tomorrow
we break it down
in order
to build it up

like yesterday
without the order
