My last day

My last day


I thought, I was mistaken,

completely distracted, as I was.


No one, was standing, there

over There. I was surely mistaken.


All the students left my school

the school in my youth, when I was 12 years.


I knew it most, when the teachers had left.

I was alone, with the guidance after time of education.


In our oldest corridors, I looked and watched

if I saw any movement, a piece of dust or wind.


I could not find, could not see or leave it behind

until the last noise, sound and music had left, my back.

The finest hands

The finest hands


Some of them, all of them,

have been asking a wonder.


I think, it was not one thought.


In all the days, I served a new living,

I heard him, listening.

In all those moments, I have been

loving, you


I wondered, how.


It is, a wonder when 2 levels

may be, underneath & beneath

and above on the same frequency.


It is, my spirituality,

it has been, listened to.

It was not the first time,

you touched my sensitivity.


It is a day that is in the middle

of the past tense, new days

and something in the present.


My head did not bow, the left one

already has given a beautiful answer.

Just in time

Just in time


I have always been

just in Time.

It is a feeling I have

in the air & above the air!


I am There, whenever someone

calls me by wind, and when another

wind is felt by a new air of all waves.


In all times, I wonder a wonder.

It is a fine touch which has become

stronger than my inner sensitivity.


Far above my age, the time is nearby

to come as close as the Time

of my temperature was served.


I can admit that in time,

the Time of our Universe was felt

twice in the reach of one moment,

a second, you all will not, forget.

A dreamy pillow


A dream is dreamed a thousand times.

One dream was shared more than once.

As I said, it was dreamed a lifetime of all.


I have been dreaming, to provide the world

the whole world of the greatest snow blizzard.

Last year, we had one but I thought, we needed more!


I thought, well try to melt some ice powder and cookie cream

and all those children will be listening, nice, sweet and lovely!

The fire and water have to be in constant conditions by my way.


It was a dream, I could not drink no more, no water, no earl grey

no sugar or cream, no coffee, no lemonade or juicy lemon high tea.

I woke up, I felt more snowflakes on my window and I thought, well.

A little shoe box


I had one intention in my life.


When I would become younger, than

I was in my youth, I wished for a new Time.


At the age of 7 years, I often could not sleep.

The wintertime always gave me lots of work.


As I reached the opinion of 8 years, it was easy.

Upstairs, I listened to the wind in our window.


I trippled down, downstairs but all I could find

where some nuts, carrots and one little present.


It was surprisingly, almost what I wanted …

but I knew, that one winter, we had forgotten


all about the sugar, the sugar pieces in my shoes.

Blue and silver light

[image error]


Photograph I : Petra Cecilia Maria Hermans


Blue and silver light


The deep blue light

smiles in my soul,

every morning in all nights.


The silver candles in my window

shine a light unto all windows of Sunlight.

The one silver candle is my heart of soul,

I love, all of my life.


The deepest blue love in the heart,

is a reflection of my soul.


One night, it would All be more

than I could have dreamed about,

to realize in the world!


In silent lights, I look and watch

upon a world,

I can easily

smile in the night

within the deepest poem

of our precious universe.

Underneath all water

Underneath all water


It was years, ago.

You should have seen me.

How simple life can be.


I had no time

to care for clothes,

nor for a waste of Time.


When and whenever

I look at clothes,

how they have been designed,

created and well-manufactured,

it is not within my own eye.


I can assure you, all of All.


Underneath my waters,

I see his approval

more than I feel it.


I think, yesterday,

two or three Times.

I do not think, he watches me

closely, more than a hundred times.

Do not think, so.


When all the horses,

the chocolate cake and birds run,

through his walls, wherever

he may be,


someone has to take care.

The wisest statue

[image error]


Photograph I : Petra Cecilia Maria Hermans


The wisest statue


In the dark

you cannot see the light.


It is a magician

without a pen, or poetry.


In the dark

you cannot see her smile.

At night, she smiles,

open, wide, free

and more than ever,

lost to be last.


It is quiet in my books,

the same as in your books.

It is the silence

it was lost

too long for a time

for everlasting letters.


The statue has been hidden

outside a forest.

It is green and dark.

Vanessa atalanta


She has wings

as no one else

has in our world.

The wings of a butterfly

are sensitive but also too tight,

to resist the Sun, when it is

burning all her pages.


The butterfly, this one,

she does not appreciate

white honey; it is too cheap

for her eyes.


All along her way,

in spheres of higher grounds,

she touches new Earth,

beyond all measures

of our human race that is,

in fact a race


without one human being!

In a hundred years

[image error]


Photograph I : Petra Cecilia Maria Hermans


In a hundred years


I am not sure,

if I love it.

I am not sure.


I have become older

than a hundred years,

since the day before Tomorrow.


I am still not sure.


The Birthday has been celebrated

all over the world, in silence.

The chocolate was decorated by nuts,

all kind of nuts.


It was a surprise

while I do not accept

that word.

It is not, that I would

have, liked it.


I have to announce, it was

my Father’s idea.

The son was lost by Time.


Yesterday, I became 400.000 years.

I must say, it has become boring.
