Poetry

Day 3442, thoughts.

Daily picture, Poetry
I stack my thoughts
layer up on layer
and they are not see-through

I only have the register
partially
so I have a look
and 863 thoughts ago
the title reads for that moment's thought…
stacking thoughts

Day 3440, light.

Daily picture, Poetry
It is light
while standing here
waiting for the light
to turn on

Day 3439, discarded.

Daily picture, Poetry
Sometimes the shade 
to many lines
will obscure your path

only then
what was once discarded
a welcome distraction
may guide the way

Day 3438, seen.

Daily picture, Poetry
If you look inside
you will see
what’s seen
outside

Day 3436, what is left.

Daily picture, Poetry
I only see up close
the discarded cup

it once cleansed my thirst
though not this one


someone else voted
to throw it away
I just recognize
what is left

22/08/2025 Christiaan van Gaal Tagged life, mind, Philosophy, photography, pictures, poem, Poetry, psychology Leave a comment

Day 3434, just after.

Daily picture, Poetry

I will leave instructions
but not where you can find them

a massage received
just after you arrive in this world

Day 3433, I say.

Daily picture, Poetry
The buildings of society are falling over
says the alarmist
with binoculars in its hands

I say
we need more nearsightedness

Day 3432, or push.

Daily picture, Poetry
You know which side the door swings
just look at it


but do you pull
or push


do you decide
or not even think about it


without shame when mistaken
or do you feel it inside

18/08/2025 Christiaan van Gaal Tagged life, mind, Philosophy, photography, poem, Poetry, psychology Leave a comment

Day 3430, hide.

Daily picture, Poetry
The shadow your past drags
betrays me your hiding

16/08/2025 Christiaan van Gaal Tagged life, mind, Philosophy, photography, pictures, poem, Poetry, psychology Leave a comment

Day 3429, still.

Daily picture, Poetry
The day just started 
so the sun rises
though the shadow lines are cast
they seem frozen
when I pass

everything seems to be frozen
when you pass by
now I think of it
standing still

Day 3428, light like.

Daily picture, Poetry
You shine light like its old wisdom
but when I follow your thread 
its just modern power you project

Day 3427, you do.

Daily picture, Poetry
My house is numbered
twice
so you don't miss it
but I hope you do

Day 3426, my little.

Daily picture, Poetry
My exhaust is my little house
where I live on top of the roof
of my house

12/08/2025 Christiaan van Gaal Tagged life, mind, Philosophy, photography, pictures, poem, Poetry, psychology Leave a comment

Day 3425, what I see.

Daily picture, Poetry
I try to find the angle
from where you can’t make up
what you see
so I can make up
what I see
11/08/2025 Christiaan van Gaal Tagged life, mind, Philosophy, photography, pictures, poem, Poetry, psychology Leave a comment

Day 3424, we are.

Daily picture, Poetry
The world is grey
but what we see is colorful
that’s what we are conscious of
looking through our window

Day 3422, know me.

Daily picture, Poetry
I was not allowed to park in front of your window
but I did
and still you didn’t notice me
because you don’t know me
