Poetry

Day 2548, for a while.

Day's pictures, Poetry
For a while you let me air 
not always
but when I wanted

and I don’t know if it was the wall that collapsed
or you that fell down

but either way
the opening you left
seems to work too

Day 2547, choices.

Daily picture, Poetry
It's just a turn of a switch
like making a decision

but the other choices
taunt me
like if they were even possible
after I was sure
and made up a mind

Day 2546, asleep.

Daily picture, Poetry
I woke my dream
and fell asleep

Day 2545, study.

Daily picture, Poetry
It is a luxury 
when you can study your landing

Day 2544, grey.

Daily picture, Poetry
I see life’s colors 
above the horizon

but my grey stay’s
the dark soil holds

and the colors I see
they are there

Day 2541, lie.

Daily picture, Poetry
I burned my finger on a lie
I don’t know if it was yours or mine

looking at my finger
I now know
but it still hurts
after all these days

Day 2539, tune.

Daily picture, Poetry
Even the brightest lights
dance on the tune of time

Day 2538, still.

Daily picture, Poetry
De river is still 
frozen
I could cross it
but she might wake

though the silence calls
on the other side

the road I drive on is still
not frozen

Day 2537, green.

Day's pictures, Poetry
They say that the grass is always greener 
somewhere around the corner

but how many corners are there
to not end up where you are
06/03/2023 Christiaan van Gaal Tagged life, mind, Philosophy, photography, poem, Poetry, psychology Leave a comment

Day 2536, I have.

Daily picture, Poetry
I have a window outside
for when I want to look outside 
for when I feel inside

Day 2534, who knows.

Daily picture, Poetry
I wouldn't mind
living
with myself

for a while

Day 2533, what?

Daily picture, Poetry
If I only could touch the warm water I see
now I know how cold it is
02/03/2023 Christiaan van Gaal Tagged life, mind, Philosophy, photography, poem, Poetry, psychology Leave a comment

Day 2532, though.

Daily picture, Poetry
Though you don’t throw a shadow over me
you are still hanging
suspiciously 
over me

Day 2531, sandpaper.

Day's pictures, Poetry
I sanded away my sorrows
and now I have to rip the paper away

the machine did its work 
the paper is filled with dust

I am not much lighter
but it feels smooth
28/02/2023 Christiaan van Gaal Tagged life, Philosophy, photography, poem, Poetry, psychology Leave a comment

Day 2530, current.

Daily picture, Poetry
Memories surrounded by hills 
and mountains

fed by waterfalls that bring
cold water
to slowly renew the fjord

a part of the sea
its salt conserves
the current not there

it was always there
and will be
27/02/202328/02/2023 Christiaan van Gaal Tagged landscape, life, mind, Philosophy, photography, poem, Poetry, psychology Leave a comment

Day 2529, reflects.

Daily picture, Poetry
The moon reflects in what it pulls 
like I do with you
