Miraculous body

Miraculous body


Lately, last years,

all of my life

I see my body

as a pure miracle

to be and wonder.


In the way, I live,

I give, I feel

how I changed

in strength.


As I have, carry

a certain inner perception,

vision and mission;

it has been served

by this one miracle.


In light of shadows,

the eye of my body

sees and looks

in the miracle of her world.

The antiquarian

The antiquarian


A book is very stylish

in a culture, it’s lost

ages by ages.


A factory, late in night,

too early mornings across rivers,

has its pages.


It seems to be odd,

or something like that,

but the glue, the glue


has to have the right temperature.

Each book, another glue, another substance

and hour, eleven o’clock, driver is not home, yet.


Abstract ideas are explained

because of a reality

by 1 spirituality.


I am in the middle and on the side

of an old, old antiquarian.

In a dark, dusty room, he has a chair,

and one smile.

New Clock

New Clock


Last 3 days, I watch a New Clock!

The Sun shines upon the numbers and the metallic

background is beautiful in the evening.


The Former One had lost its Place

by my white walls and left & right window

up to a new sky of all heavens and rainbows!


It was a birthday gift, December 6, 2018.

It is good, to wait until I have enough money.

Someone gave it to me.

Light behind window

Photograph I : Petra Cecilia Maria Hermans


Light behind window


It was a morning, Sunday.

I opened, had to open my eyes.

On the edge of my bed, I saw him.


He was praying, in silence

but I could hear it, from far.

He was asking me, for forgivingness.


I had to come downstairs.

I was asked, to look what the damage

of alcoholism and genes, should have been.


I remembered, then, on that, that special,

moment, I read “Mahatma Gandhi”.

Sixteen, or 16 years, far beyond the human race.


We had an excellent doctor.

She almost lost sight of her left eye.

It took us, all some time, to move on.


I always studied late at night

and early, very early in the morning

I had my own gymnastics, all kind of ways.


As I watched over the fields, 14 years

a call was answered, by my right hand.

It is not superstition to bring a new evolution.


It is a new connected way of looking at my world

while all people around this world, this universe

are enlightened by one window behind a high roof.

House of Mirrors

House of Mirrors


My sister liked the Cakewalk.

She went there, more than 3 times a day

while I tried, for one time.


She lost one tooth, one night

while driving off a road

by my father’s career.


It is good, to judge

when you can’t see the light.

A mirror in your garden is blind


not blinded. In my garden, a mirror?

I should prefer to say,

House of Mirrors.

VOC Indië Vaart

VOC Indië Vaart


Men dacht, er goed aan te doen.

Het Huis te verleggen en verlengen

voor een ander Thuis.


Het is het gemakkelijkste, als de beste stuurlui

te kielhalen, vallen. Gepekelde vlees is nog

altijd niet ‘vleesch noch visch’.


Als aan mijn Schip nieuwe bemanningsleden

aanmonsteren, zijn ze wel bevoegd te rekenen

op Behouden Vaart, aangezien Alle Zeilen afstevenen


met klapperende Wieken op een Allerminst

goede zonsondergang in rustige wateren

met hoge kwaliteit van peper en zout!

From far above


From eternity

my eyes look

upon earth.


Rest and peace are a part

of her beloved heart.


I always liked and love it,

to prepare my letters before,

sharing them.


From Heaven, Someone

watches over.

In a nice, soft air

where no wind, is,


from far above

a rose blue depth

loves her works.

Irene de Kok


Als ik, ja, als ik

dan toch ìets zinvols met en in mijn leven

kon, mocht doen, dan vóór haar!


Een foto getuigt van een examen.

Snelheid kent geen vraagteken noch

de sportiviteit van aard en geest.


Joop Ooms te Berkel-Enschot trainde me

in bossen, zandvlakte achterop en in de sauna.

Boven het gewicht met 100 maal indraaien, minstens.


Mannen van 50 en 60, hartchirurgen uit het ETZ

zouden me verder helpen. 11 Jaar was ik en,

ja, Irene de Kok te Tilburg was gaaf!

Into his spirit

[image error]


Photograph I : Petra Cecilia Maria Hermans


Into his spirit


In the evening

on the late night hours,

he is normally there,


I did not notice or see it,

no more, any more.


His spirit smiles silently and looks,

down, up; up and down into my soul.


Roles, rules or patterns mark structures

and borders which do not pass a past.


You say, I assure

it is regular, not extraordinary

or particular.

The guidance is on my side, I know

somehow for sure.


It became my life story

within a lot of choices

and one choice, I did not make

but was made and has been made.


In the morning, time and light

pass into my soul, spirit and one eye

into his spirit.

After midnight

[image error]


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


After midnight


An hour after twelve o’clock,

strikes, in a minute.


In the silence

of the night

I’ll be there

breathing the Clock of All Clocks.


He looked me, in the eye,

right and straight, without effort.


It has all been in my special guidance,

to be chosen, every word and letter

in good attitude of complete responsibility.


Before 12 O’Clock, something happened.

She is an easy lover, all the way upon

and in her older days.

The Religion of The Blue Circle

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