Whitest tea

Whitest tea

I start the day by tea, Earl Grey.

It is more than a ritual in more than one family.

Tea has been prepared by exactly the right water,

moment, temperature and flavour.

It gives time. It does not ask time.

I had to wait for cookies by my grandmother.

I guess, 7 years old. I can still remember.

My grandfather did not say, a word.

A painter writes by silence, in the glory

of more than one window.

I can still remember, all the colours, he really

gave me, because I was impressed, somehow.

Hard Flowers

My father wrote me, before my 46th Birthday,

he loves the roses, of my grandfather.

Civilisation is a study.

You pay the water of the swimming pool.

I say, do not take life,

too serious; it lasts too long, sometimes.

As I see, I have a special taste

of responsible food, on my table.

I am lucky, I like to walk on Sunday.

White glasses

White glasses

A darkness seemed to pass away

in a darkest night.

You think, I mean the first words,

don’t you.

As I come along,

on the streets of children,

I do not look into your eyes.

It is not necessary.

I walk on my path

and I do not belong

to the people on earth, strictly.

It all comes two ways

and I do not think,

I wrote it because of you.

Together with my imagination,

as it is a word, not a mentality or perception,

reality serves an old spirituality.

I am the one

I can say

in the morning

and late evening

who has her pair of glasses

in her hands

as white glasses come along,

in a new wave of the river.

Green light universe

Photograph I : Petra Cecilia Maria Hermans

Green light universe

I walk in a different direction.

I am walking not, the same way,

as I did.

Nowhere, a road is there

and I can not exactly,

see where the difference stayed.

I have been there, again, over again.

I return the place, given.

I learned a green light path

and it is easy, to remember.

I do not walk, the opposite

but a new connected way of watching.

The spirituality writes down,

my hair and body.

A soul is time

by my soul given,

faster and in time.

A heart tries to look

in the houses of autumn

and I see that it is beautiful.

I am lost, I know, I feel.

I am lost out of there.

The longest coat

[image error]

Photograph I : Petra Cecilia Maria Hermans

The longest coat

I wear a deep, silent and decent smile

on the white dress.

Above moon and stars, I stand

by an enormous white stick that writes

new letters far beyond all numbers

of the present human race.

The Sun does not show one sunbeam

and rays all laugh in a direction;

it is difficult to see.

When water is needed, rain disappears

as it is more than a logical song.

In this position, my voice speaks

but not in words, thoughts or emotions.

I have a long coat, nowadays.

You try, can try to measure

how many ages, times and clocks

it loves.

But I do not talk about love,

in that sense, humans do.

I love the longest coat in human history.

A deep water

[image error]

Photograph I : Petra Cecilia Maria Hermans

A deep water

It is a candle, coloured

in a lot of colours, very joyful,

to look at.

White is a colour,

a base of stability,

if you call.

It is not a way

of family members,

I have, no, and yes.

I will not be ashamed,

of or by myself.

I have a serious and sincere way

of talking, all kinds of way, decency.

It is not, very, familiar to the present generation.

Past tense is my television, for ever.

By the way, of the words and letters,

it makes sense, more than it

All should be, or should have been.

Left and right

I am lucky

in the early morning

I see the light outside

into the light of my eyes.

A left and right window

give a ray of force

and pure loved

dedication to the world.

In the way, I write,

the chair one woman

holds her breath up to glasses,

till the evening is silenced.

My whitest eye

[image error]

Photograph I : Petra Cecilia Maria Hermans, Tilburg

My whitest eye

I was not there.

I am not a part of your destiny.

I was not part of your family.

I do not stand with the members,

smiling and joyful, on lost photographs,

testimony of a nowhere road.

I am not on your birthday party,

not spending hours for fun,

not the cosy idea of your inspiration.

I am not the energy you expect,

because ethics is no principle.

It was

it is the journey

my inner love

of the whitest eye

without a photograph.

Photograph I : Petra Cecilia Maria Hermans

To listen careful

I could not hear a sound; no one said,

something.

I did not see a wizard, a master or star.

There is no identity, when I am listening

to the job, as if, I do listen.

The body is not really alive, my breath

goes away, part of an outside universe.

A tune, a letter or poet are no longer,

part of our human race.

I have to listen careful.

A harmonious life

[image error]

Photograph I : Petra Cecilia Maria Hermans

A harmonious life

There was a point

that point has been made.

It was and is possible

because a balance of language

lives in my body.

A harmonious way of the look in my eyes

breathes out my soul.

The beat in my heart is silent, deep known

by one silver moon, which is a light

on a small path, close to the river.

The wisdom behind my way of language

is simple. It is the truth of love.
