Poetry

Day 2688, kneel.

Daily picture, Poetry
I don’t kneel down for you
it’s just that I can’t get up anymore 
04/08/2023 Christiaan van Gaal Tagged life, mind, Philosophy, photography, poem, Poetry, psychology 2 Comments

Day 2686, taught us.

Daily picture, Poetry
I wondered
standing in an ancient landscape  
if the shape of a mountaintop
the recognition 
the rush we felt of almost home 
has taught us 
the love for the shape of our loved ones
and the feeling of being home

Day 2685, wander.

Daily picture, Poetry
I wonder what drives wander around in me
the one I feel alone in nature

Is it the distance of open pastures
prey at the horizon your food

or are the clouds fleeting over
contrasting in silence the time you no longer feel

is it the contrast between thinking
and not

I wander

Day 2684, follow.

Daily picture, Poetry
I ran down the mountain
and on my right the trees seem to follow 
me
but it was just an endless row of the same
even when I stopped

Day 2683, valley.

Daily picture, Poetry
It is a long time ago that I walked through those valleys 
where I saw the mountain I know so well 

I live much higher looking back
close to a path to my top

from here I can just see those valleys
where I roamed in those pasts 

and wonder
before I reach that maybe
my top has another side 
another view
valleys in between

Day 2682, from deep.

Daily picture, Poetry
We all long 
from deep inside
to the place we stood up
and saw a horizon
for the first time

Day 2681, door.

Daily picture, Poetry
All doors open
and you never know to what

remember that
the next time you see one

because life is better 
if you expect the unexpected
28/07/2023 Christiaan van Gaal Tagged life, mind, Philosophy, photography, Poetry, psychology Leave a comment

Day 2680, can you.

Daily picture, Poetry
Can you see through the ripples 
the world around
when you are looking down
in reflection  
27/07/202327/07/2023 Christiaan van Gaal Tagged life, mind, Philosophy, photography, poem, Poetry, psychology Leave a comment

Day 2679, you can.

Daily picture, Poetry
You can wonder
if a camouflaged knot
is still a knot 
26/07/2023 Christiaan van Gaal Tagged life, mind, Philosophy, photography, poem, Poetry, psychology Leave a comment

Day 2678, tied up.

Daily picture, Poetry
I will never be chosen first
because I am tied up 
25/07/2023 Christiaan van Gaal Tagged life, mind, Philosophy, photography, poem, Poetry, psychology Leave a comment

Day 2677, pendulum.

Daily picture, Poetry
It is pretty transparent how you sit there high and dry 
you would almost dream of a just afterlife
for a payback 

but also there
I imagine
is right the choice of a pendulum  
hanging from a high point 
24/07/2023 Christiaan van Gaal Tagged life, mind, Philosophy, photography, poem, Poetry, psychology Leave a comment

Day 2676, do you.

Daily picture, Poetry
Do you know what you lost
belongs to where you found it
23/07/2023 Christiaan van Gaal Tagged life, mind, Philosophy, photography, poem, Poetry, psychology 2 Comments

Day 2673, stay?

Daily picture, Poetry
If you step away ever so slightly 
you may turn around 
to see what’s left
of what the others already 
can’t see 
the imprint you lose

if you want it to stay
you have to stay 
20/07/2023 Christiaan van Gaal Tagged life, mind, Philosophy, photography, poem, Poetry, psychology Leave a comment

Day 2672, fantasy.

Daily picture, Poetry
Is a memory of a long-forgotten trip to a faraway side 
better than a fantasy of a journey to where you want to go 
even if you never go
19/07/2023 Christiaan van Gaal Tagged life, mind, Philosophy, photography, poem, Poetry, psychology Leave a comment

Day 2671, does it.

Daily picture, Poetry
Does it matter which part of the chain you break?
18/07/2023 Christiaan van Gaal Tagged life, mind, Philosophy, photography, poem, Poetry, psychology Leave a comment

Day 2670, permanence.

Daily picture, Poetry
I know that the clouds change more
then the mountains that move underneath. 

But what has more permanence?
Change?
Or a slowly eroding mountain?
