At a distance

At a distance


I will never forget,

who brought a switch,

a turning point

in my own personal Tide.


I will never forget,

the meaning,

of certain months.


I never had such a life,

and then, it was there.

It would be.


The decision and

after a while, other choices

I made, had to be taken.

I could not wait, it was exactly

in time.


Eight months almost broke

my back and my legs needed

wooden, steel lights of flames.


In a distance,

I watched it all.


I knew then,

from a distance

it would all be taken, away.


Someone, somehow

had to have the courage,

to look at it and believe in All,

at a distance.

Reflection in eyes

Reflection in eyes

Happy faces couldn’t be better than

half a year ago, it all seemed to be worse.


He would not have survived it.

The way, my old country is presented

and represented.


You are so enthusiastic

but I can’t see any light.


Out of there,

no doctors are guarded,

or guided.


It is in the way of how

he designs the clothes of Nazis.


She is just dumb.


Someone saw it All,

before he saw, it.


They would never understand it.

They wouldn’t.

At the riverbank


I look at a river.

The last card was posted.

Literature has no name,

when a book can be broken,

somehow.


In a sky,

midwinter’s tale snowflakes

were falling, a dozen thousand,

thousands of birds died and

revived, again!


The sky did not open without a reason.


I have it all in my hand.

Light of lights

[image error]


Photograph I : Petra Cecilia Maria Hermans


Light of lights


You could not have heard, it.

You could not have seen, it.


It was minuscule

with a touch of light,

outside the light.


You have those standards, for doctors,

who do or did not impress.


In the End,

it was a touch,

strong and severe,

from outside the room

inside out, at the same time,

lost stronger in a moment.


I can see it,

when I look at the child in my eyes.

Intimacy of silence

[image error]


Photograph I : Petra Cecilia Maria Hermans


Intimacy of silence


Small, slow

the little tune

fell over me,

all tones perfect

to be a, more than three.


Silent, faster in a light,

dreams twinkled and sparkled

new golden tiny lights

before my feet, landed the grounds.


Heaven about skies,

on earth it was

a sphere we share,

close upon your body.


It is just that,

I am not always

very serious.

A visionaire

A visionaire


I write an old idea

no one has seen.

It is possible, to think

in a harmonious existence.


I do not believe

one person, one human being

will carry it all, by herself.

It is a woman who understands

it All.


It is not a blue ball,

it is not an older history

before human evolution

but the silent works

of functionality.


I guess, I am the one

who is responsible

for what has not been known.

My slender frame

[image error]


Photograph I : Petra Cecilia Maria Hermans


My slender frame


It was not easy

to get familiar

with my body.


It is easy

to feel comfortable

in my soul of eye.


It is good

to stand for and believe in

a future generation while

the present does not belong

to my mind.


Vivid eyes

look further.


A heartbeat was felt

a million years ago,

a billion days faster

than not only half a second,

a split second


touched and reached

out to

by my slender frame.


A difference is between a difference.

Between all of them


In human history, ages

human time has given us,

some specific originals.


Not many of them,

I have seen, I have heard,

carry faith, belief in an attitude.


The lack of a title was titled.

An estate of decency

Photograph I : Petra Cecilia Maria Hermans


An estate of decency


I would underestimate

the value of decency,

for a while.


I have my time,

I know.


A man, of 94 years old,

accompanied by the respectful

photograph of his father,

is of non importance, or importancy,

I see.


28 Years is not worth,

counting for one more year, I say.


A half green banana is not even,

that good!

An ancient priest


A long, long time ago, somewhere there

in the old village, it did not matter, who


would ever proceed

the old priest.


They should have become friends.

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.
