Sand of stones

Sand of stones

Glass can be made,

once, twice sometimes.

Glass may be broken,

one time,

how many pieces.

Water flows away

comes back and returns,

never in the same way.

Sun looks across all skies,

moon disappears and stays

in an order

you will not believe,

ever again.

I see small stones in my feet,

they all shine silver

and soft white tones.

I try, to have a little one

in my eyesight and I see,

it has become more

than I created, for once.

Deep ice blue

In winter, on this place

on earth,

new crystals provide

me in their source

of old and new information.

I had

a little room,

a small body

and interested eyes.

My sensitive hands

gave candies of jokes

to my friends,

in my simple way.

The roof was big enough

to give shelter for longer

than one universe.

All kinds of specific atmospheres

exist in the colour

of a sky with a lot of birds,

trees and flowers.

Ice frost flowers are named

after a queen.

Her prince wasn’t that good

because he was good

in riding horses.

Far away, across the mountains,

not in forests of fields,

a house has been writing

a story of all stories.

In the middle of the night,

you still smell her fire of woods.

A light shone

under my trees,

in the dark leaves,

somewhere and somehow.

This time, not from above

but from under and within a tree,

of all trees.

I have been watching

the oldest watch

on earth and I did not,

hear it.

So, I said

to myself

the same sound

after the rain

is probably nicer

than before dawn.

Classical themes

Classical themes

Crows have been flying here,

also down on the ground.

Little birds are

pictures in my mind.

I made an appointment.

I do not forget,

who was first,

in the end.

I thought, I have

to keep them going.

She is not that wise,

fast or lost.

It is, in something,

she never wondered.

In my old old village,

no names are on the streets.



A new high way

has been rewritten

by light green silver eyes.

I look far over,

further than I could,

because all the time,

someone was really mistaken!

Woman in time

Woman in time

As it seems

to be dark,

darkest hour could

have been, there.

Whitest purest light

gave her answer, however.

In time, miracles

do not exist

but a woman saw

more than she was,

supposed, from her start.

I do not think,

so, she saw it All,

alone, do not think so.

When a man is in love,

he stands for here, in time.

Do not ask, when I say,

I could feel you all the Time.

Stylish grace

Stylish grace

It was not on a day

in a calendar of earth.

Words and names

are useless, here.

It is not

a matter of fragrance,

style or frequency.

Someone has something,

more.

You could say

and see, it would

have been, far away.

It is all very relative.

In style, she came

no matter

the distance,

an absence was felt,

in grace I left.

From a distance

He said, they would see, me,

from a distance.

He said, they would see me coming,

far from a distance.

It did not matter

what clothes I would wear,

not at all, specially, especially.

It is, how I, saw it all,

from a distance.

It is, how I have always seen

it All,

the closest nearby.

Photograph I : Petra Cecilia Maria Hermans

Within my guidance

I turn my back,

in my back, twice a day.

I would not say

it is goodness

or gratitude.

The night brings me

a new evening and when

I see the daylight,

my smile appears

to give the whitest light.

In the late afternoon,

I lighten some special candles.

Eternal fires of a flame

do not need to be enlightened,

again, more than twice.

Excellent skills

An art of painting

has been duplicated,

more than a hundred times.

In time of freedom

one piece has to be explained

a 1000 times.

I see, when I say

the sun is going down

in the North,

would that be a good intention.

I can tell

a man’s richness

is counted by the moments,

hours vanished

in silence of a deep sleep,

one excellency is honoured.

Universal composer

A rose is given

a name.

Somehow, far away

someone discovered a garden.

An empty garden

has not been created

for children.

I composed the sun, moon and stars

in one poem by daylight!

I did not listen

to the sound of

the silent wind.

I already know

that lovers of light

do not wait for music.
