life

Day 1812, getting there.

Daily picture, Poetry

Sometimes

I have to turn around

and around

and around

to get inside

of you

~

other times

it hits me

and I am in

Day 1811, looking back.

Daily picture, Poetry

Looking back

into a mirror

~

remembering

that memories

appear sometimes

bigger

~

and feel closer

than they are

Day 1810, looking forwards.

Daily picture, Poetry

I am trying to stay between

the lines

so I can ignore

the gray

weather

~

while driving to a home

somewhere out there

Day 1809, I like clay.

Day's pictures, Philosophy

I might form you

like the clay figure

I play with in my head

~

but enough sticks on me

that you never

be complete

06/03/202106/03/2021 Christiaan van Gaal Tagged life, mind, Philosophy, photography, Poetry, relation Leave a comment

Day 1808, switch.

Daily picture, Poetry

Have you ever had a switch

that when you switch it

nothing happens

~

so you press it again

and again

and again

as if the switch

is the cause

of your failed

expectation

05/03/2021 Christiaan van Gaal Tagged life, mind, Philosophy, photography, Poetry, psychology Leave a comment

Day 1807, strange.

Daily picture, Poetry

It is strange

I have more warning lights

and gauges

then buttons to push

or switches to turn

04/03/202109/03/2021 Christiaan van Gaal Tagged life, mind, Philosophy, photography, Poetry, psychology Leave a comment

Day 1806, dizzy.

Daily picture, Poetry

I am dizzy

walking to the road

in the distance and mist

~

finally

I am walking it

into the mist and distance

~

now

I am no longer dizzy

just hungry

03/03/2021 Christiaan van Gaal Tagged life, mind, Philosophy, photography, Poetry, psychology Leave a comment

Day 1805, empty roads.

Daily picture, Poetry

The small streets

in my mind

that are connecting

my thoughts

~

are in real life

the ways

I like to travel

Day 1804, straight down.

Daily picture, Poetry

I am easy

with my leftover thoughts

~

they go

straight down the drain

~

some make compost out of it

they say it is good fertilizer

~

I think it leaves

a bad aftertaste

when you eat the new harvest

Day 1803, white window

Daily picture, Poetry

I see something interesting

behind those dark windows

~

I can’t see inside

only the part

that faces me

~

and that is white

like a blank piece of paper

28/02/2021 Christiaan van Gaal Tagged life, mind, Philosophy, photography, Poetry, psychology Leave a comment

Day 1802, trespassing.

Day's pictures, Poetry

I know

when I parked in your garden

that you made room

for a limo

and not a little bike

~

and I mean it

I know that

27/02/2021 Christiaan van Gaal Tagged life, mind, Philosophy, photography, Poetry, psychology, relation Leave a comment

Day 1801, slave revolt.

Daily picture, Poetry

We are all slaves

Taken apart

by the time

we live in

~

you can step on me

as a slave

but your freedom

to hurt me

guides me

~

shows me an other way

into you

 

26/02/202127/02/2021 Christiaan van Gaal Tagged History, life, mind, Philosophy, photography, Poetry, psychology, slavery Leave a comment

Day 1800, the right tool.

Daily picture, Poetry

I have to treat you

when you surface

differently

~

when you’re in the corner

or stretched out

unevenly

~

either way

I have to be sharp

and treat you

your excess

25/02/2021 Christiaan van Gaal Tagged life, mind, Philosophy, photography, Poetry, psychology Leave a comment

Day 1799, small.

Daily picture, Poetry

I only see the shadow

in front of me

of the door

I stand in

and half opened

~

is it because I feel

so small

~

or because the door

feels

so big

24/02/2021 Christiaan van Gaal Tagged life, mind, Philosophy, photography, Poetry, psychology Leave a comment

Day 1798, corrugated.

Daily picture, Poetry

I saw these two hand prints

in the dust

touching

the corrugated glass

~

I wondered if it was you

and me

trying to feel

you

~

or did you never touched

what us divides

while I waited

23/02/202123/02/2021 Christiaan van Gaal Tagged life, mind, Philosophy, photography, Poetry, psychology Leave a comment

Day 1797, open up.

Daily picture, Poetry

It seems that I can only open up

these windows

all at once

and let the fresh air in

~

maybe I have to break

just one of them

to only let you in
