A deeper love

A deeper love

They have chosen me.
In my family roots, it is normal
to be complete dedicated.

Especially, my grandfather Jan Goossens
worked, day and night.
Someone, like me,
has a deeper ground.

I am lucky, to be gifted
by special, deeper insights.
Ever, since I was a young girl,
I learned, to think about emotions,
thoughts and evolution,

longer than for one day.

You can’t, you can try to imagine
what kind of life,
I live and have been living,
all these years.

The answer is simple.
A deeper love has been understood
by a deeper life.

The clearest face

The clearest face

I stand here
looking outside
in the highest sky
above my head
above all heads,

and believe me,
or not
but it is, it is
the clearest face
of the whole human race,
the clearest face
in front of
a whole sky
by brightness,
a new light
has, just, been brought,
by my face!

He was tall, as I saw him, walking,
in the evening, late, late at night.

The whole day, he had been working,
in his House, and he is supposed to work,
for in the night, that’s his attitude.

He has long, a long mind,
the soul the same
and legs were slow but decent,

decent fast, when he had to.

I had the luxury
to get to know him, both sides.

I learned what it was
to love an unconditional life
towards planet earth
by a simple base.

The modesty in his eyes
was a peaceful shelter,
a great richness
to the growth of my soul.

And now, at night,
I’ve been working.
I can still smell the flowers
in his garden.

Hand on earth

Photograph I : Petra Cecilia Maria Hermans

Hand on earth

It was absolute silence.
In absolute silence, I touched earth,
slowly with my right hand.

Slowly, and with a lot of care,
my right hand tried, tried to touch earth.
No one, could hear it.

And then, after that,
my left hand reached earth, Mother Earth.

It was the sound, it is the silent love
in my sensitive body.
The heart does not remind it, anymore.

A white handkerchief pronounces
the beginning  of each, lovely beloved
new morning in the brightest light

which was not possible, to see or watch.

Matter of justice

Matter of justice

I think, I agree.
I might think, I have
to change my attitude.

It means, it will mean
more to the world.
Some people can’t help, I agree.

I agree, it is all a matter of time.

I admit, must admit, it is All,
about understanding peace
within the soul and silence
of a heart, therefore it will last,

longer, than one moment of justice.

Fraggle Rock

I walk behind, you.
At the same time, I am in front of you all.
Not, very in the middle.

It is funny,
how you have the sense of humour
that is the most joyful,
in all religions!

I cannot stop, smiling.

Bunny boy

The day before yesterday,
I saw him, running
in my streets.

The painter was chasing him,
because he tried to rob, equipment.

You should have seen, it!

The bunny boy isn’t that fast,
so the painter really knows.

Bunny boys can’t take care of a lady;
that’s why they are slow, not low.

Keep on running, boy.
No one, is ever going to chase you,
ever again.

Wallet of purse

Wallet of purse

I was looking over you.
I look over, for days, now.

I see, you haven’t seen anything,
yet.

I feel, as if someone failed
but it wasn’t me, for sure.

In my wallet, a lot of coins
have been left, really a rich woman!

The wallet is made of leather,
the mark is not known.

The purse, you see it there,
has a special jewel, you can not describe.

The jewel is not been made of stone.
But the purse is empty.

Bumble Bees

Bumble Bees
Aqua – Aquarius

My father had an idea.
All of a sudden, he was interested in bees.
Without an education.

It were the last months, for my exam.
My mother was not there.
It was warm, under my roof.

I was studying, the last exams,
the last days. I was busy, for longer than an hour.
Suddenly, I heard someone screaming through my music.

It was my father.
It was not a bad idea,
I knew the phone number of the doctor.

At first, I comforted him.
Then, I ran to another room,
the other chamber.

He was there, faster than 1 minute.
Apparently, he had an allround key.
He was with me, up on the stairs!

He gave my father an injection
and, together, Dr. Vioen and I
got him into his bed.

He said, I did the right thing.
After that, I was watching my father
for, perhaps, two hours and a half.

He started to drink, some water.
He asked, me, what happened.
I explained, the whole accident, short.

Slowly, he returned to his bed.
I did not watch, him, no longer.

A doctor, never thinks twice
and is clear, very clear without
one moment of time.

It was the best thing.

Silent earl light

Silent earl light

It was the most delightful morning
in her afternoon day.

Silently, she moves
to her window and sees it All,
because of her precious heart.

She feels comfortable within his presence.

Somehow, she is the same,
after the years that will come,
after her words are loved by his silence.
