Green shadows

Green shadows

Skies above me, blue grey clouds and a sunshine within,

were passing by in a landscape of silent shadows.

Books of letters are meant to be written

but I’ve never read anything better.

Sunshine has no sound but water

that hushes through music without numbers…

I thought it were grey green clouds

that touched the heart of a shepherd

but I can tell you all on earth,

let it be green shadows!

White waters

White waters

My grandfather taught me, to look at the water.

Water needs all elements of life.

Stones are marks of hope and trust;

I used to cycle in the meadows of blue and green skies.

White waters give an eternal flow

because it shows a deeper meaning of life

by the way waterfalls have a silent glow,

in the morning and in the evening

where the sunset lives forever.

In my presence

In my presence

In my existence

I write down a pen

a golden, silver feather

that has captured

her human race.

You should be lucky,

you never met me

in her presence.

Finally

J.R.R. Tolkien – The Lord of the Rings,

Being the third part of, The Return of the King

Chapter 4, The Siege of Gondor, Page 79-103,

Page 103.

“All save one.”

“You cannot enter here, said Gandalf, and the huge shadow

halted. Go back to the abyss prepared for you! Go back!

Fall into the nothingness that awaits you and your Master. Go!”

“Gandalf did not move. And in that very moment, away behind

in same courtyard of the City, a cock crowed.

Shrill and clear he crowed, recking nothing of wizardry or war,

welcoming only the morning that in the sky far above

the shadows of death was coming with the dawn.

And as if in answer there came from far away another note.

Horns, horns, horns. In dark Mindolluin’s sides they dimly echoed.

Great horns of the North wildly blowing. Rohan had come at last.”

“Point. No bullshit.

I had to do this, in this way.”

Finally

In the middle of a night, the night,

she looks into the evening, every day.

She’s been waiting, for you, to arrive.

It wasn’t a question.

It wasn’t an answer.

There were moments in her life,

she’s been reading stories. A lot.

A lot of time.

She knew then, she has a high responsibility

and sometimes, is allowed to show

the highest responsibility of All.

Stories become one story,

in the belief, faith and dedication

of the soul and body, hers.

Do not think,

it was hard.

It is easy.

You can fall in love with your life,

for once, I say, I may say, now.

But hurry, hush, pretty little darling,

Sun rises, no time to lose is there, no more!

Finally, she took a deep breath.

With love

Photograph I : Rose, white flowers, blossoms by Petra Hermans

With love

A silent sigh

releases me

if you want to hear.

A silent silence

was silenced

silence released.

Silently, closely

and smooth, waters are skies

in which new ideas are being,

transformed in complete transparency

of all waters in times of ages.

You could hear, the water of this water,

by one fingertip, it appeared

to have touched, you, lately.

Summer green leaves needed rain.

Eyes closed

Eyes closed

I listen, when I talk.

I act, before I speak.

When you speak, I watch your silence,

with closed eyes.

It is a habit.

As I look in my world, I hear one sound of music.

As I watch the world, the universe disappeared.

I see you, with my eyes closed, closed eyes

you have.

Blinded eyes do not see in the light.

Once a lifetime

Once a lifetime

Firm, I am signing the letters,

no person on earth, could write.

Strong, I live life with sights and insights.

I am happy, thankful and joyful,

All has been given by my hands.

Sensitivity, serenity and spirituality

have become one, once in a lifetime!

All around me

All around me

I have been walking streets, roads and clouds

of people, children and dreams.

In the summer, the trees give a breeze

and the sunshine rains laughter!

When I walk the winter silence,

my shoulders are the wings of an eagle

and the eyes of a hawk

noticed the song of love.

Autumn gives me, my favourite lights.

Candles do not need to be enlightened.

All around me lives the life of a lover.

I’ve seen them falling, before.

Language and alphabet carry

a first and last line,

I have no idea

who has told, me about it.

Timeless element

Timeless element

A spark lights a new spark, inside of me.

I am a poet, finally.

An author will be read, more than 2 times.

I learned to listen,

to every emotion in my soul.

When the pen was given, I had no idea,

I would share it to the world, years ago.

It is a responsibility, I’ve taken.

I clearly understand, one person

will be allowed,

to know how I think.

I love a new light, in my morning.

Attraction

Attraction

He feels attracted to me.

I can’t help it.

He feels attraction

but I’m not that shy.

It’s an attraction to life, love and prosperity!

He feels attraction, he can’t help,

himself.

Attraction is a feeling, I can’t explain.

My heart beats for a whole human race.
