Silent respect

[image error]

Silent respect


Lost men laugh nervously, look different.

The way up to heaven is beautiful.


Here, I have my place after more than

five years, reality and spirituality are one.


I know him, I saw him and he knows it.

Every day, we talk, in silent respect.


It is one laugh a day, it is a joy that means

the world in my universe, to me and Michael.


His dog waves in a wind, you cannot feel, you

should try to listen to, because it is more than a word.


The dog rules the world, in the middle of the night.

Do not say, I love him.

Great reliance

[image error]


Photograph I : Petra Cecilia Maria Hermans


Great reliance


Great, greater, greatest.

Language is something, to be learned


at school.

After that, it is All, because of James.


It is tasty, sharp lemon bites, you say

but After Eight has a different shape.


It is all in his looks, it is all in his books

he was the one who started, and should not to.


He had a struggle on the carpet, a movie

it is funny when it was not my choice.


I do not remember, one myth.

More than reality, it whispers in comfort.

A man’s world

[image error]


Photograph I : Petra Cecilia Maria Hermans


A man’s world


James Brown. Brown.

Brown becomes white and white is black.


Sorry. Excuses.

Excuse, me.


I had those images, for the first time.

Nice soft paintings of Monet.


I had those voices, yelling and screaming

at my door but babe, it is a man’s world.


And then again, since more than 12 years

young girls and women, raped, tortured,


to Hell. Abortion, broken families

and lost crowns.


It is not longer than twelve years.

You say, you believe me, as I believe you.


One dude a day makes a difference.

The last passenger

[image error]


Photograph I : Petra Cecilia Maria Hermans


The last passenger


He kneeled

for the time

of his Holy Service.


I watched his walk

in the light

of an empty church.


I could feel and I can see,

when someone is not present.


It is beautiful as a task

has been given, badly needed.


I do not think

I may not accept,

the name of a miraculous story,

for it is not important in that way.


I remember, our time of tea and light,

as if, it was yesterday.


Age is not a realistic letter

and I understood,

without my love,


that I would always wait

until the last passenger

is safe on board.

Left finger

Photograph I : The Netherlands, Berkel-Enschot, St. Willibrord Church


Left finger


Late at night

all moments pass

her body, her hairs

and soul, without

a sense of meaning.


On the streets, the attitude,

the way of her walk and clothes;

it is All gone.


I do not think

it felt so good.


You think, you know it all so well.

Moment in time

[image error]


Photograph I : Petra Cecilia Maria Hermans


Moment in time


You think, I have it all clear.

I have no time, or the luxury,

to think, about it.


You think, it is an honour,

a grace, a special faith.

Realism knows all the rules

in our universe.


It is, in my nature

I can understand

that my spiritual poetry ticks

just like one Clock,

can not nor shall be heard.


The time is All

in the Hands of a woman

who starts her day

in the brightest and beautiful curled letter

of human ages.


It is a matter of listening

to a sound.

Last appointment

[image error]


Photograph I : Falkor, the Luck Dragon in the Neverending Story


Last appointment


It was a lawyer,

or a judge.


He failed his own failure,

in spite of the word of wisdom.


It was no teacher,

schools do not teach knowledge

in this kind.


It is no ruler, but the greatest Dictator,

of All.


You have to do, it in a good, sincere

and proper way.


We agree, we have one appointment.

In my name

[image error]


Photograph I : Tilburg, Petra Cecilia Maria Hermans, the Netherlands


In my name


I am on my way

I never needed

an airplane, a car

or starship.


I look, outside of,

my window and I see silently,

my Crystal Ball.


I was driving in the train

for the next railway station.

I am looking forward

but I do not think,

I see you, there.

I do not think, so.


Outside the window,

a beautiful peaceful landscape

glorifies the bright colours

of the clearest light in my soul!

Yellow level

[image error]


Photograph I : Tilburg, the Netherlands, Petra Cecilia Maria Hermans


Yellow level


Nearby, closely not close, to the river

between, not very in between, trees and bees


a yellow level shines above

a silent fountain.


A white fountain is not there, any more.

Somewhere, one man lost his bench.


Around the river, sounds disappear and return

easy as the morning light become silver & golden


in eyes of blue diamond hands

that do not comfort a story of stories


but were and are the strength

a man can lose his mind in a yellow river.

In his presence

[image error]


Photograph I : St. Willibrord Church, Berkel-Enschot, the Netherlands


In his presence


One statue in my spiritual life,

is more than a statue.


I do not know or understand

who started to talk.


In the shadow of a small room,

he is still, always there for me.


Ages and moments

of minutes and hours are timeless.


I swallowed a complete generation,

as I listen to his silent and modest gestures.


It is more than a spiritual energy.

It is one painting of the most beautiful music.


It is more than one wish.

It is a lifetime that has been released


by two simple, peaceful and harmonious hands.

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.
