Day 1620, news.

Day's pictures, Poetry

I stand next

to an alarm bell

~

I don’t hear anything

~

so I assume

all is OK

Day 1619, a hand.

Day's pictures, Poetry

A handprint

in a gravel beach

~

the upcoming tide

hasn’t yet

taken it

away

~

did someone

pushed

themselves up

~

or did they stop

a fall

~

maybe

they just wanted to feel

the cold gravel

Day 1616, – – . – -. .-

Day's pictures, Poetry

There are so

many holes

in the stories

they tell

~

that it forms

a solid wall

Day 1615, clear cut.

Day's pictures, Poetry

All the fibers

tore

seamless

in my body

at the same time

~

when you told me

~

it was best

this way

~

a clear cut

and I was

Day 1613, I spring.

Day's pictures, Poetry

Each day

around

and around

in circles

a spiral

till the end

working on my bounce

Day 1609, look at it.

Day's pictures, Poetry

Day 1609.jpg

I like to look

at shadows

~

they show you

how the world

is

~

when you don’t want to

look at it

Day 1607, water hose.

Day's pictures, Poetry

Day 1607.jpg

We’ll keep them

hanging around

even though

they are cut up

in so many pieces

that they are

useless

~

you can no longer

water your soil

with them

~

my dear old

arguments

Day 1600, illuminate.

Day's pictures, Poetry

Day 1600.jpg

The otherworldly

shines

above all

in the shadows

of time

~

but it doesn’t

illuminate

Day 1586, protection.

Day's pictures, Poetry

Day 1586.jpg

Looking back

at all the misshapen

building blocks

stacked together

to form this wall

~

it all seems to fit

effortlessly

but I still remember

standing down there

between all the broken pieces

of the walls

left

by my forefathers

Day 1585, barriers.

Day's pictures, Poetry

Day 1585.jpg

I stumbled upon

this wall last week

~

it is solid

but also made

out of many

small facets

stacked

together

~

it doesn’t really matter

it is still

standing

in my way

25/07/2020 Christiaan van Gaal Tagged life, mind, Philosophy, photography, pictures, poem, Poetry, psychology, wall Leave a comment

Day 1581, straight through.

Day's pictures, Poetry

Day 1581.jpg

I am looking

through a window

inside of you

from where the outside

is faded

~

but I only

see straight through you

and see the tears

on your eyes

from the inside

Day 1578, roof.

Day's pictures, Poetry

Day 1578.jpg

I felt protected

for many years

~

but the roof was corroding

from the inside out

and one day the rain

came down

inside

and woke me up

Day 1577, stares.

Day's pictures, Poetry

Day 1577.jpg

I remember the house

where I thought I grew up

~

there was an old chimney

a corner where I played

and my father closed the door

~

in my memories

he was never there

in reality

he often stares at me

standing in front

of my reflection

Day 1572, stale.

Day's pictures, Poetry

Day 1572.jpg

I can not open

the window

from where I sit

~

I can see

some of the horizon

but it is the smell

that I think

I miss

~

I can get up

but it is still

not to stale

where I sit

Day 1571, work in progress 2.

Day's pictures, Poetry

Day 1571.jpg

The first light

and movement they sense

still wet

and lost

gives them no

thoughts

only

reactions

~

slowly

they grow

and the world

gets projected

from this one

reel

~

and it is still

flickering

when they close

their eyes

and dream

~

for them

there is no other

sunset, color of grass

or fear.

~

there is no other

Day 1570, hang.

Day's pictures, Poetry

Day 1570.jpg

It looks like

all the lines eventually

come together

somewhere near

the end

in the distance

~

till then

I just hang my thoughts

on them
