Sea and shells

I walk along the beach and someone is there,

as I am.

The water comes back, over and over,

with a sound.

I see shells in beautiful colours on the beach.

A pearl

A pearl is not equal to a diamond.

Pearls are made by the oceans, water and salt.

Pearls do shine,

they really shine!

Pearls are not made by electricity

but in patience of silence.

A pearl lives in you

because I can see it in your eyes!

The blue room

The blue room

I saw them, together alone, in a room.

You can tell, it was not very cosy.

They were sitting on the floor in sort of groups,

and kind apart.

A certain light shone inside that blue room, the morning,

in the late afternoon and evening.

I could not watch, them any longer,

no longer, no more.

It all did not impress, me. Not very.

I was not impressed at all.

There were some rumours, maybe you can say

it were ‘talks’, or anything, like that.

Don’t think it is easy.

It is not.

Modest way

Modest way

A silence felt over my shoulders.

A calm, a rest, relies on my soul.

A heart that does not ask nor give

is a beat for a whole human race.

The body of the soul is one;

she is part of a new human evolution.

The name belongs a face with an eternal smile.

A woman knows more than what was trusted.

There is a silence on my shoulders,

I do not feel it every day.

A minute has 60 seconds

while a second, one second knows

half a second and is part of a split second

in my right hand.

My speciality

My speciality

In my first class, not my first exam,

the teacher already knew my speciality.

The other students regarded it all,

as a good joke.

In my younger years,

I used to play at the square,

while we were inventing new ways

to be a pioneer!

It doesn’t matter if the play of games

takes a short or long time;

it really doesn’t.

Because, all that it takes

are two good and strong arms

that will be silenced by a joke or two.

I knew then, it was my speciality

and it would last, longer

than a short visit.

A fairytale

[image error]

Photograph I : Berkel-Enschot, Photograph has been made by Petra Hermans

A fairytale

A tale is told

when an audience

wants to listen.

A tale has often been told

in silence, before the audience, is there.

A fairytale has been written,

very often, to silence children,

or to inspire them, all kind of ways.

A tale is a fairytale

when moral standards

are 1 victory.

However, it is not about victory in a tale

if hope glores on every horizon!

Who says, a fairytale will not be told,

a tale … .

In my ways, I love my birthday in my own country

when children wait with joy and tension.

I am not a master in a sense,

I won’t make you, laugh forever!

White coat

I have been dreaming about a dream.

From age to age.

A time changed by me.

Time changed because of me.

It’s not a matter of profession nor is it,

or was, it, a silence I never heard.

You can’t buy clothes without any money.

It is not possible.

A vision came to me, when the light vanished;

it was not to be seen.

That’s the point.

I have always been lucky with my friends.

I’ve always felt lucky with my dream.

I am lucky because I do not wonder.

Maths

Numbers are numbers

and letters are letters.

CC. Tilburg.

Cobbenhagen College.

My exam is a wisdom.

The teacher had a Time, at Home.

I can tell, you, that.

She had an opinion.

I would not be able, to finish all my levels

in time… ..

They all, have been telling me

their conviction. 16 Years.

With eyes of a Lion.

Any way of all (impossible) ways

I was satisfied, glad and more than happy

by number “8”.

Letters are given by numbers.

A civilization has been created.

Communication does not say

anything, about it;

it only talks.

Sobriety is wealth

Dedicated to, Eve Sprunt, first connection on LinkedIn.

In the old days, we had the good old pestilence,

the Black Plague.

I, honesty, think it was a good system

but it was not sufficient.

It was too slow.

The Guillotine could have been a good option

but still, some seconds were wasting, time.

Now, I happen to be a good creator of small things.

I prefer the softies in the woods…

Sobriety is wealth

when people start to share wisdom.

It is a matter of a treasure that cannot be found.
