Point in my wall


In moments of time,

a magician, not accidentally

a wizard, a druid, a visionaire

changed her white stick

in a blue silver stick.


During the day,

dust is falling down

free carpets now,

as I slowly turn

the Clock in another direction.


The stick has a point,

no one imagined to see, ever,

she is the fastest

into eternal circles,

it All, stopped, for a moment!

Sand in the night


They gave me,

have given me

a gift.


After that, it belonged

all to my soul.


In nights, I have bowed,

I bowed above candles,

silently.

After that, I had my memory.


The path would be clear at the end,

while in the meantime,

a sight sharpened.


As I was born,

I awoke

to be reborn again!

“Laten we gaan, Krabat.

Hij liet zich meenemen, de molen uit en door het Koselmoeras

naar Schwarzkollm.

Hoe heb je me tussen de andere jongens herkend? vroeg hij,

toen de eerste lichten van het dorp tussen de boomstammen

zichtbaar werden.

Ik voelde dat je bang was, zei ze. Om mij was je bang – en daaraan

heb ik je herkend.

Terwijl ze naar de huizen liepen begon het te sneeuwen, met lichte,

fijne vlokjes, als meel dat uit een grote zeef op hen neerdaalde.”


Otfried Preußler – Meester van de zwarte molen (Krabat)

Back in Time

Back in Time


The door did not open.

Something was wrong.


I think, it might have been the wooden lock.

Water pours over borders of waters, painting falls off the wall.


I thought, I have always thought it was more than normal.

To have and be in the position.


Someone, someone like me, understands time

she has no time to take care of the picture by her hairs.


Her hair presents the future, past and present

in order to sing a song, that has not been sung, or heard.


History did not teach a thing, but the fact that historians

did not mean a story, they were writing all the time of times.

Hand on earth


I have seen you walking on earth.

Lately, I saw you in my streets.


A resemblance was there, between

his way of walking, away, and yours.


Not that it didn’t matter to me.

I have seen you, before on the road.


In all the ways of language, you think

to level my way of living, sharing and loving.


It is a way of thinking, I do not share in this way.

It is the love I feel for my body, mind and soul all the way!


Earth has given me a simple ritual, a daily habit.

What is an Empire?

Back of air


In the back of my wind,

a back beholds my love.


In the fall of my wind,

I looked and watched

my old words in books.


In the air of laughter,

I do not hear happiness

but see, have seen a silent smile.


They would not believe me,

not believe in me, as they did not

go back in time, but decided

to throw it All, away!

All over a family


I looked, standing

in front of his little garden.

He looked.

Then, I arrived.


We borrowed

a new harvest.


Books, clothes,

lemonade, food and silence.

Gifts.


A family member,

he showed and told,

had, sort of, enlightened eyes.


My father gave me another book.


It takes but it gives,

more than you ask.

William the Conqueror

William the Conqueror


He was one of the best students in my history class.

The first year, the first examination, he had an excellent piece.


It was not a masterpiece, that is what his friends

thought of him, because of their own life towards his attitude.


I walked with him, nude feet, very beautiful painting

while it is raining cats, dogs and mouses beyond all streets.


I was impressed, the way he thought about our world

not being able to stand in the universe by a pure and serene mind.


It was a story, two friends of 14, 16 years in a wood of forests

going home by bicycle while an alcoholic made him scream, the village.


I know who brought him home finally because of an absence of love

that is what his father and family told me the day he walked my path.

Time over Sun

Photograph I : Petra Cecilia Maria Hermans


Time over Sun


It is in the depth

of the purpose,

my soul and heart

gave a new time.


Do not ask me,

how or why,

I have borrowed

a deep smile

the way of the Sun.


Sometimes, it is needed,

or it is a Sunrise.


Time over sun rises

time above moon stands,

time stands there across all stars,

one fragment in a moment,

I could not forget.

Stars of congruency


I did not say

a word, in your language.

You give me something,

it is not something else.


Blue circles are together

one white circle, around a galaxy,

decades were not registrated,

no more.


I have those eyes,

they look at you, all,

nothing to feel good, about!


I say, it is worth standing here.

Ages of time

Ages of time


A moment ago,

I see it will last.

I do not move,

do not speak,

do not look my way.


A comfortable place shelters

light in a space of time.

I do not doubt, it will remain.


As I say, I who do not rhyme

in time, suddenly more

than silence becomes reality.


Ever I will ask a new green watch

by older ages, as I made it come true,

one dream gives my small fragrance!

The Religion of The Blue Circle

Let's talk about life.
Let's talk about love.
Let's write about religion.
And keep quiet in silent silence.
