Reflections of the day -" Just Now "

                        
                     Just now


          Not imagination

                   Nor fiction -

          That these walls,

                        Stones of light

                               Emanate -

           Neither is it history,

                   Not the stuffiness

                         Of museums

           Or romantic vision.

                          It is your own new

           Limpid look ( like the sky that

                               We like to call blue )

             Staring back at itself sparklingly!



          You could go through

                              That door,

            And walk down the

                               Small entrance -

              Find yourself back in

                      The timelessness

                             That you have

               Known right from the beginning.

Thoughts of the day from our balcony called Worlds dedicated to Breezer.





                                            Worlds




           Breezer the cat

     Looks out intensively

     From the balcony -

     At the rain falling

     Upon the green earth

     And at a couple walking -

     With dogs and umbrellas.



    A door slams behind him,

    Turning startled -

    His mirror world is shattered -

   Until another universe -

   Becomes worthy,

   To enter - his dubious domain!





                  A translation in Nederlands for my complaining Netherlands friends


                    Werelden


       Breezer de kat

        Kijkt intens

      Van het balkon,

       Naar de regen

       Vallend op

       De groene aarde

       En het paar met

       Honden en paraplu's .



       Een deur klapt dicht

      En hij draait zich om

       Verbijsterd -

      Tot een andere universum

      Zijn aandacht waardig is !
