A glass window

[image error]

A glass window

In participation with, M. Droomers, secretary


You could have heard, him.


A glass window, a window, is not

the substance of Crystal.

It is not in the elements.


I listen to one task,

one special word.

Double forces, or more,

are not in my power.


It is a difference, not the difference

between Roman or Gothic style.


I get nervous of a thousand cuckoo clocks,

each half an hour.

The lions drink their loneliness lonely

in an empty mirror field.

I am not that thirsty.


Next village, the salary was paid,

since ages.

Thank God, it is not my job,

half a second, or more minutes,

in the morning of the next day.


It is a glass window of a small village,

as usually, I look straight through it All.

My own people

My own people

“I enormously enjoyed that trip, because I felt that I was among

my own people and could be myself.” New York, 1959


Beatrix Wilhelmina Armgard, Prinses der Nederlanden,

Prinses van Oranje-Nassau, Prinses van Lippe-Biesterfeld


I had years to go. Someone was looking, down.

Older than she was, supposed, to be.


I think, it is just, just in the way, the way

you look at her way of a blue dress that is regarded


as white, of the purest whitest colours

that will ever blind you, no man can be blinded.

Timeless eternity

[image error]


Photograph I : Petra Cecilia Maria Hermans


Timeless eternity


I knew the time, when I learned

to understand and write my words.

It was a hard job.


The hardest part of my life is,

to keep on dreaming

because it makes me going.


As it is easy, to read,

that a story is more than a dream,

my friends of today,

are all gone now.


And I look

in yesterday remembrance

how it All became my story.


My youth was not that simple

but I was used, to it.


I had the best teachers

on my path.

When it rains, I always know,

that tomorrow comes.

Snow powder

Snow powder


An artist can draw

lines and colours back,

as the same way,

they disappeared.


In the way, I was given,

I would give myself a present,

behind my past.


I could, could try to blow

snow powder into your face,

would that be wise!

Miracles exist

[image error]


Photograph I : My Crystal Ball at Home, yesterday morning, May 9, 2019


Miracles exist


I thought, it should not

be possible.


To believe in a reality,

where miracles do exist.


You can dream about

extreme happiness or

fairytales to be a story

in your own story.


I may say, now,

very strongly and wisely,

I noticed, a special miracle

in two years.

Blue velvet gloves

Blue velvet gloves


Skies are free,

so are the trees.


I always knew, this wisdom,

and once again,

more than once,

I see my confirmation.


In the sky, life is new,

when grey lost all the shades

I never saw.


The trees take care of my breath

as I care for the wind above my trees!


I feel it in my wind,

what is coming

but also what needs

to be brought, given

and reacknowledged.


Blue velvet gloves are warm,

enough for spring, summer,

autumn and winter time.

The third time

[image error]


Photograph I : Petra Cecilia Maria Hermans


The third time


He made me turn my head,

a third time.

It was an everlasting song,

I did not expect.

At least, and after all,

a story can be told, for once.


When more than one level

has been taken care of,

it is obvious to see,

that 3 levels are carried

by six letters.


I say, in a sky of blue horizons,

a painter has been colouring,

most beautiful ideas,

for an extraordinary trip in the country!!

Without a photograph

[image error]


Photograph I : J.R.R. Tolkien – The Lord of the Rings, The Return of the King


Without a photograph


People around me, I see,

have a closed window; it’s their

protection.


My eyes see in an open sky, normally

conditioned, as regular outside standards,

sometimes.


If I touch a place, I knew the touch

of it, before I reach out.


When I close the old places,

it has been closed,

it has been ordered.


Reality is half part of my world,

balanced to be a modern idea

of the future.


Even though, I love

my wonderful profession,

life and body, the spirit

is relative, in the end.


Photographs do not exist,

there because we, yes, they and I,

we don’t believe in vanity.

Sweet honey

Sweet honey


I do not always like

a mixture of milk.

The factory people, they do know,

all about it.

I worked within their culture.


I saw, a driver of the car,

waiting for me in the late evening.

I could handle three factories,

I wondered more than a river.


The most irritating discipline,

when I was younger, is that

I keep on asking.


This teacher loves good and full milk,

in the evening.

A small flower

A small flower

Michael Ende – Momo, oder: Die seltsame Geschichte

von den Zeit-Dieben und von dem Kind, das den Menschen

die gestohlene Zeit zurückbrachte (1973)


You walked in a town, of your youth.

It changed.

Years ago, it was getting darker than grey.

I was able to keep on, holding close

to my most favourite book, and another Part.


Grey houses, grey walls and a dark, cold winter,

but the snow was beautiful white and enormous!


Today, I saw a small flower within these houses,

very early for this time.

It made me smile.

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.
