U had, dan

Edammer, Gouds,

schimmel, nagel,

kruiden of komijn … .

Ik heb maar een klein vuistje, hoor.

The Chinese Wall

The Chinese Wall walks from Paraguay to Alaska.

Two or three times, a woman walks across the pavement

and shines her light on the right and very left.

I do not think, it is contemplation.

She likes to walk.

Timeless eternity

My grandfather Jan Goossens was a tall, handsome man.

I am small but my coat is longer than his coat.

I know, how I was a part between the children in my first school.

Somehow, they were all very silent towards me.

I never wondered, how far I would go,

and that made me, very different.

I remember, the times at the schoolyard

and when I walked, home.

Teachers always looked at me, but didn’t say a word.

The end of the school, the last year had begun.

I was sad, before it even started.

Now, I write a new story.

I learned to read and write

because somehow, someone

started the first letter, somewhere.

Whistling wind

A song has been forgotten.

I was looking, high in the trees

where I usually saw wind and feathers fly,

away.

The wind sings a tune,

I haven’t heard, it.

It was not the last time.

We knew it.

I had to do something.

Flowers

One of them

one of my grandfathers

loved flowers.

He knew how

to smoke a cigar.

A flower flowers

but sun or water

are not provided,

everywhere.

My grandfather Hermans made sure,

the other architects had a wonderful garden!

He knows how

they smell,

flowers.

I do not know,

who started a race

but I am convinced

that it appeared to be,

outside of our universe!

When I was young

I could not wait

12 O’Clock

Two seconds before dawn.

10 Seconds after, sunrise.

Green light eyes look happy, glad and glorious!

In a week, I watched the Sun pass the Moon.

Autumn comes after spring and summer follows the winter,

no doubt, about it!

I say, all is relative, for what is life on earth.

I write, all meant more than I could possibly believe in,

for what’s a woman, so strong, convicted in her own belief?

I dream a poem,

it’s not worth, reading

but it was certainly worth, dreaming!!

Two fingers have become transparent.

The most beautiful sound in the world.

Feeling

I have a special feeling in my hands.

I feel lucky.

The feeling increased, last, past years.

It is a silent, peaceful, calm feeling across all oceans.

It carries more than one breath.

5 Winds have been protecting, earth and universe.

Yours sincerely,

My sky

My sky

Before my window of love,

I stand, every and each day,

as I see, all the birds come and return.

As I stand, before my window

for a bright, light sky,

I see my light shining, forever and ever!

I see, all brightness shines in my entitity,

I see my belief endlessly reflected

in the eyes of my story!!
