By the way

By the way


It was a store.

I started to talk

with one of the employees.


At first, she took a distance,

I noticed.

In the end, she said,

to be disappointed.


She said that, as I made

my choice clear, years ago.


I paid my presents

and then I said, goodbye.


I saw it in her eyes.

No hard feelings.

Three of a kind

[image error]


Photograph I : Petra Cecilia Maria Hermans


Three of a kind


In a far forgotten sky

up on the roof of a Heaven,

a window is open.


A small and simple window

breathes a poet who dreams

to be recognized, a poet.


Down, in the Streets

people go out, pretend

in the lost wind of a wave,

never felt.


The poet is poor,

but the Richest man in Town

can’t be called a bachelor.


I know, in these Days,

Three of a Kind,

it was a card game;


may the Last Card

not been written,

down a poem!

Deepest wish

[image error]


Photograph I : John Ronald Reuel Tolkien – The Lord of the Rings


Deepest wish


I had one wish, to be forgotten, one day!


In the spiritual world, it is easy and comfortable

in his surroundings of the greatest jokes, of All Times.


People, humans as we call them, are boring

just very very boring to be bored. Also ordinary.


I walk at ease, between the highest trees

but, I know, it is all very common.


I can tell you, all, that my deepest wish grows

every day by more flowers and more shining colours.


Patience, acceptance and wisdom were all that

were asked, in the deepest silent plain wish


not to be remembered.

Foggy rain

Photograph I : Petra Cecilia Maria Hermans


Foggy rain


A woman dreams about a man

in her life.

He means more than she could say.


I do my work

and people around me

and who actually know me,

will admit, it is true.


In fact, I am more modest,

you can think of.


I hoped, one day

he would see

notice me, somehow.

My favourite walk

[image error]


Photograph I : Petra Hermans, Tilburg, the Netherlands


My favourite walk


I looked at the miracle

of being able, to see.


All small colours, simple candles

and easy emotions were going,

along my mind.


As a child, I loved all

the very very simple

small wonders around me,

that were created in spirituality!


I grew older and it

only became stronger.


And now, after so many years,

much more than 46, I can dream

about all my intentions, returned


to innocence.

Utopia

[image error]


Photograph I : My collection of ‘Les Schtroumpfs’, Peyo, Pierre Culliford


Utopia


I thought, a problem was

but now, there is a real problem.


I have to get registered, again here

at the municipal city because my length, changed.


It is not normal, here, no more.

My height transformed from, officially 1.54

up to, the High Road of 5.41 M.


I do not know, where to handle or control

my feet or hands, my body or soul, anymore.


You thought, it was All so funny, well,

I admit, a book can be read, only once!

Ice Age

[image error]


Photograph I : Karl Friedrich Hieronymus von Münchhausen (1720-1797)


Ice Age


It is normal

to stand above abnormalcy.

Sounds logical.


It is normal

to be as strong

strength can carry

earth, universe

and a new future.


It is normal

to understand history

to be more than

one part of human history.


It is abnormal

when my strength

deepens me, in former ages,

far below the ice!

Her old village

[image error]


Photograph I : Petra Hermans, Worldpoet 546, Afterlight; May 6, 2016


Her old village


In the morning

she sleeps

as a little child.


In the morning

no sounds are there

to be found, over again.


I say, in her new village

it is probably

the same

as in her older village.


One writer does not believe

in extraordinary words

or states of proclamation.


I say, she knows

that rivers are meant

to bend in silence.

As I look

[image error]


Photograph I : Crystal Ball at Home and in front of my House


As I look


You were sitting,

silent, there

over there.

We were looking, together

after my déjà-vu took place


outside of your house,

above the roof.


You asked, me,

a word, didn’t you?

Yes, you appeared

to ask me 1 answer.


I sat there, more silent

than you did, didn’t I.


The trees grow up into a sky,

no one could ever, be possible.


You and I

we made it All

become one dream.

The lost druid

[image error]


Photograph I : Hard rose flowers covered by dark green leaves and water


The lost druid


I had those pictures

as a young girl.

You see him, in old school books

for special education.


I watched the photographs

in a certain interest.

One way, it would All,

mean the world to me

and on the other hand,

it were images,

photographs or pictures

not half way, there.


You know, when someone touches you,

by a reason, not for a reason.


I say, last couple days,

all clothes changed in white

but some silver glow hangs over.


I must be

a forgotten idea,

handling more than time;

it was All supposed

to last.

The Religion of The Blue Circle

Let's talk about life.
Let's talk about love.
Let's write about religion.
And keep quiet in silent silence.
