The creative mind

The creative mind


Every year, on Christmas’ Eve, I admired Jesus Christ.

In silence, the village had taken care of his creative mind.


All together, in Sunshine and shadows of lightness

we stood close in the evening of all nights.


I have never been proud in my life, but no I have taken

a big mistake, for the last and first time, just in Time, exactly!


Your accent says more than anyone further away, from fifty years!

I am really impressed, ever year, by your military parade in autumn.


On the way, we worked together, Pro Deo, the world became more fancy.

That’s why, I am not standing, no more, on Christmas’ Eve, I have already left.


The parsonage was rewarded, now and never, I agree and so did He.

At the end of her life, my aunt was grateful and more thankful, for his Service.


Thank you.

Burger King


A fresh apple comes in and out, should I explain.


A hard apple makes your stomach sick and breaks

your teeth, as it was meant, to be in that honey pot.


Sweet dreams are always nice to look forward to

especially when the nightmare does not come, no more!

Owl and scarecrow

Owl and scarecrow


I have been protecting one bird and one bird, only.

I have beautiful wonderful strong hands in my airs of wind.


The crows come together and go away by friendship, relationships

partners and words of meaning and matter in our universal faith.


I have seen, you are the best friend with your friends

and I am really sorry, I am missing all the fun, the sharing and loving.


All of my emptiness, loneliness and weakness, the children

fell out of the books of book and I could not get, you all back, again.


The bucket has no bottom because the love was handled

by the best scarecrow you could have imagined, all of your life.


In the early morning, a big, great white owl almost has fallen.

The tree could not bench, should not break and all I did, was fly away!

In my eye

[image error]


Photograph I : Petra Cecilia Maria Hermans


In my eye


It is my deepest world.


I cannot say, I feel comfortable.

I can not see, I feel home.


In all those years,

I remembered someone far away,

who gave me insights

of ethics and wisdom.

It made a difference.


In the glance

between light and some sort

of shadows, I feel my mind

of body, and soul, looking

at a complete, full new watch!


I may agree, by now, now

a time has gone, absolutely

written down for all ages of time,


to last longer than my letters,

numbers and silently,

having more than I ever

had to be given, away!

Star above my sky

[image error]


Photograph I : Michael Ende – Die unendliche Geschichte (1979)


Star above my sky


The environment was dark, very black.

In those minutes, hardly air was captured.


I needed, a match, small and simple

to finish my bag, official document, a book,

food, water and clothes.


I tried, I, I tried

to start, to get some attention.

It did not work out, that way,

I found out.

I had to open new ways.


Two women, in the middle

of my ordinary people, were

standing close.

I remember their faces, the voice.


I got home, late.

They welcomed me, here

and gave me bread and butter.

My works would be safe, longer

than one night.


All around me, insects, horrible fear

was darkening night and daylight.

It would depend on me, for the next two,

two and a half year.


I remember, I can still, still

remember exactly the place,

here in my kitchen,

before my one eye.

Two and a half second.


I reduced 45 minutes,

in 20, 25 minutes.

Two houses were in favour,

could be a good shelter.

Otherwise, I had a good coat,

water and food, and I knew

the field there, where I watched

the birds become quiet, almost silent.


The door opened, they still knew my name.

A tiny twinkly light

Photograph I : Petra Cecilia Maria Hermans


A tiny twinkly light


I said, a question.

No answer, arrived.


Minutes remained in silence,

clouds were getting, out my way.


I do not think, she knew exactly

what was in my mind, that moment.


It did not have to.


All those years,

I could not share,

or say.

It had to be that way.


A small light was

on the street; I saw it then.

Welcomed, by four warm arms.


I was able to stand above

an old, older time.

I do not think, it was given.

Be my guest


He tried, to read the letters.

As days were getting darker, the light was not enough.


He was old, he knew.

In these nights, he had to get out, very early.


Slowly, he left his white horse, bowed a bit

and tried to figure out, who had written, these tiny figures.


When he was sitting silently, at Home, he was reading his book.

But now, these people here around, had something so say.


She knew, it was all around her Birthday, she cannot really help.

Children needed their presents every year, and after that another Time.


Finally, he had understood what was the message that had been given.

It was a blessing for humanity, someone out there must have seen it, definitely!

Way of waves

Way of waves


Silently, slowly,

I touch the air

between my two hands.


I see, a new wave of winds

was There.


It got All in my hands,

slightly the years

were followed by my soul.


I am lucky,

I say,

to be the owner

of a most sensitive body,

I learned to translate.


I say, a possession may

be seen as mighty heritage

or a property!

After the point

[image error]



Photograph I : Petra Cecilia Maria Hermans


After the point


For a long time,

I had to learn,

to trust my personal wind.

Continually, windows can

be opened.


After a moment, I noticed,

it had become easy, sharpened

and more than trusted.


In spite of dark tones behind

your eyes, the open window

takes care of fresh air, and wind!


That’s how I learned to cope

with the fact, I already left

the hardest Time, far behind

my human race.


When I look into the dark

of my present and future night

of nights, I have yet seen

the leaves behind my trees

of skies, making a beautiful sound

of the first morning!

Greatest of all

[image error]


Photograph I : Michael Ende – Die unendliche Geschichte (1979)


Greatest of all


It was a human.

It should supposed, to be,

a human being.


In her mind

no mind lived, there.

White clouds were full

of silver stars.


In words, in all words,

stories and tales,

the wind made new songs

to be told.

In the forest,

you could hear, it.


But I know

I know, no one has ever been

so good, exceptional as can

be regarded, not to be seen!


Between blue cards, castles and dreams,

a man stands, does not take place,

nor has a place.


Faith has been

more than a spirit, a heart.

Some say, I could have turned

it All, for once.
