Poetry

Day 3456, I like my view.

Daily picture, Poetry
I like my view black and white
just because the world is so grey
where the right answers disappear

Day 3455, random thoughts.

Daily picture, Poetry
I see abstract trees
in the city I walk
they don’t represent
but an idea

is nature not always a concept
a want
even while walking in it
do we not want

something of it

even if it is just
peace and quiet


can we really be in nature
even though we are
nature

Day 3454, number one.

Daily picture, Poetry
I don’t know what you expect 
from number one
but is this it

09/09/2025 Christiaan van Gaal Tagged life, mind, Philosophy, photography, poem, Poetry, psychology Leave a comment

Day 3453, why.

Daily picture, Poetry
You frame your closed life 
like a painting turned around
in its frame
why

08/09/2025 Christiaan van Gaal Tagged life, mind, Philosophy, photography, pictures, poem, Poetry, psychology Leave a comment

Day 3452, necessarily.

Daily picture, Poetry
Some places look attempting
but not necessarily
by how they look

07/09/2025 Christiaan van Gaal Tagged life, mind, Philosophy, photography, pictures, poem, Poetry, psychology Leave a comment

Day 3450, stare.

Daily picture, Poetry
I am in a corner
in a hallI I don’t know
not because I was sent
or went
myself

What I now see in parts
is no longer straight
but I see it all
captured in my sphere
a long stare

Day 3448, calm.

Daily picture, Poetry
Isolated
life seems calm
slightly stained
not so colorful


03/09/2025 Christiaan van Gaal Tagged life, mind, Philosophy, photography, pictures, poem, Poetry, psychology Leave a comment

Day 3446, that brings.

Daily picture, Poetry
I love walking on bridges
It's not because of the other side
but the structure that brings me there

01/09/2025 Christiaan van Gaal Tagged life, mind, Philosophy, photography, pictures, poem, Poetry, psychology Leave a comment

Day 3443, just.

Daily picture, Poetry
I see a chair behind the window looking at me
I wonder if the somewhat symmetry I see
is known to it

just an observation
in passing

29/08/2025 Christiaan van Gaal Tagged life, mind, Philosophy, photography, pictures, poem, Poetry, psychology Leave a comment

Day 3442, thoughts.

Daily picture, Poetry
I stack my thoughts
layer up on layer
and they are not see-through

I only have the register
partially
so I have a look
and 863 thoughts ago
the title reads for that moment's thought…
stacking thoughts

28/08/2025 Christiaan van Gaal Tagged life, mind, Philosophy, photography, pictures, poem, Poetry, psychology Leave a comment

Day 3440, light.

Daily picture, Poetry
It is light
while standing here
waiting for the light
to turn on

26/08/2025 Christiaan van Gaal Tagged life, mind, Philosophy, photography, pictures, poem, Poetry, psychology Leave a comment

Day 3439, discarded.

Daily picture, Poetry
Sometimes the shade 
to many lines
will obscure your path

only then
what was once discarded
a welcome distraction
may guide the way

25/08/2025 Christiaan van Gaal Tagged aphorism, life, mind, Philosophy, photography, pictures, poem, Poetry, psychology Leave a comment

Day 3438, seen.

Daily picture, Poetry
If you look inside
you will see
what’s seen
outside

24/08/2025 Christiaan van Gaal Tagged aphorism, life, mind, Philosophy, photography, pictures, Poetry, psychology Leave a comment

Day 3436, what is left.

Daily picture, Poetry
I only see up close
the discarded cup

it once cleansed my thirst
though not this one


someone else voted
to throw it away
I just recognize
what is left

22/08/2025 Christiaan van Gaal Tagged life, mind, Philosophy, photography, pictures, poem, Poetry, psychology Leave a comment

Day 3434, just after.

Daily picture, Poetry

I will leave instructions
but not where you can find them

a massage received
just after you arrive in this world

20/08/2025 Christiaan van Gaal Tagged aphorism, life, mind, Philosophy, photography, pictures, poem, Poetry, psychology Leave a comment

Day 3433, I say.

Daily picture, Poetry
The buildings of society are falling over
says the alarmist
with binoculars in its hands

I say
we need more nearsightedness
