poem

Day 1672, ice.

Day's pictures, Poetry

The flowers

turned white

into ice

now I see

that the clock

moved the time

ahead

and away

from…

Day 1671, against.

Day's pictures, Poetry

Our energy

seemingly

comes

from the same source

~

the wall

we stand against

~

ignoring

the fusillades

we look

the other way

~

and sometimes

we meet

each other

Day 1670, sideways.

Day's pictures, Poetry

I like to climb

higher

but all the lines

spoken

come towards me

~

I need lines

spoken

besides me

towards a step

and the next

~

please talk

besides me

Day 1669, not.

Day's pictures, Poetry

Sometimes you see

what it is not

~

the emptiness

filled

by a willing mind

Day 1668, waking up.

Day's pictures, Poetry

Like in a dream

that I drive out of

~

I wake up

when I come home

~

in between

these walls

my life is

real

~

the world beyond

is where I fall

Day 1667, noone.

Day's pictures, Poetry

The light and lingering rain

gives my mood

a muted tone

of afternoon and autumn

~

while I wander

in this light

I lookup

to an old window

~

and a thought

appreciating the mood

asks me:

~

does the window

fulfill its role

of bringing in light

in an abandoned house

Day 1666, fall.

Day's pictures, Poetry

For a few days in nature

a colorful festival

celebrates the end

of growth and feast

~

and we

admirers

in awe we forget

to celebrate

our own

Day 1665, sideways.

Day's pictures, pictures

Like our nose

we don’t see the truth

when we approach it

to close

~

we can still see

a part of it

when we close

the right eye

~

when stepping back

is not an option

13/10/2020 Christiaan van Gaal Tagged life, mind, Philosophy, photography, picture, poem, Poetry, psychology, truth 1 Comment

Day 1664, straight line.

Day's pictures, Poetry

A lot of things

that are man-made

have perfect

straight lines

going up

and sideways

~

even when we think

or speak

~

the shortest route

is a straight line

and when we look

for answers

we often

don’t wander

around

Day 1663, spilled.

Day's pictures, Poetry

From the clothespins

that are left

I can see

where you had your thought

hanging

to dry

~

I hope the blood stains

came out

11/10/2020 Christiaan van Gaal Tagged life, mind, Philosophy, photography, pictures, poem, Poetry, psychology, thoughts Leave a comment

Day 1662, who.

Day's pictures, Poetry

On my left

I see you

on my right

I see you

~

you are

the symmetry in my life

and never

will the two of you

meet

Day 1661, line.

Day's pictures, Poetry

This line

that I am holding

is choking me

~

and when the wind

tides

and waves

play their game

~

I realize

that this will

prolongs

this lines

grip

on me

Day 1660, a normal life.

Day's pictures, Poetry

A window

with a plant

~

a few hours

of sunlight

on most day’s

~

once a week

some water

~

a loving gaze

twice a month

~

till I near

~

the end

Day 1659, veil.

Day's pictures, Poetry

I like the pictures

you paint for me

~

but I am curious

about the one

you partially hide

~

you know

~

a hint

of a veil

makes you wonder

of what it is

or not

07/10/2020 Christiaan van Gaal Tagged life, mind, Philosophy, photography, pictures, poem, Poetry, psychology Leave a comment

Day 1658, standing still.

Day's pictures, Poetry

I open the drawer

with one hand

holding a picture

in the other

of you

standing in a doorway

~

I can not see

if you are leaving

or coming in

~

I only remember

that we were there

06/10/2020 Christiaan van Gaal Tagged life, mind, Philosophy, photography, pictures, poem, Poetry, psychology, relations Leave a comment

Day 1657, a clear barrier.

Day's pictures, Poetry

I sometimes focus

on what’s between me

and you

~

I see small scratches

dirt

still there

after that storm

some rain

droplets

~

and on the inside

smudges

from my finger

tips

from when I tried

to reach

out

~

I realize

that I need to clean

my windows
