A Few Words To Begin With
A Promise Of Blueness
A clear blue sky.
Promise,
of a smooth ride ahead.
Everything seems
even more beautiful
than it is.

Clouds will come.
But the clear blueness
convinces us that
the mere drizzle will
just wash away
dust and dirt.

The storms of the past
to refreshing showers
reduced.
The blue clearness covers
and heals the wounds.

Life is great on the day
we are greeted by
the clear blue sky.
We enjoy it.
We cherish it.
We live it.

And we should.
Only 504 Kilometers Between Us

Darkness falls over the péage
As I head North.
Every roadmark tells me
I am moving further
away from you.
But each passing minute brings
the moment I see you again
closer.
Poetweet
Think, rethink, shuffle and reshuffle. Then summarize
and think again. A thought, a poem condensed to the
limit of 140 characters.
A Nomad I Am
I am a nomad, it's official now.
In a temporary place I live,
To move to the next place soon.
And after that another one,
Of which I know I'll leave it anyhow.
I enjoy being a nomad, I know now.
Moving from place to place,
Home to home, country to country.
Taking with me new experiences
along the way, new habits, new culture.
Always growing and learning somehow.
No more fixed places, the world
completely open.
Opportunities everywhere.
A nomad I am.
And then, just before we reach
  the summit of our low climb,
   the sweeping searchlight of
    the Eiffel Tower signals our
 return in the bright night sky.

                  We're home.
                Holiday's over.
                 Back to work.




              Our Rentrée
Beijing: An Attempted Haiku

            Temples and hutongs
      dragons and people abound.
                    Tea an oasis.
In The Air Again
A bed of fluffy clouds
stretches out below us
almost as far as the eye can see.
The sun makes me squint while
writing this.

Again I am on my way to Paris.
Planes having almost become
trams or buses for me.
Apart from the magnificent views
of landscapes quickly getting smaller,
mountain ranges becoming sand ripples
where sea touches land;
seas and oceans dotted with
pinprick sized boats; and
a fluffy bed of clouds,
stretching as far as I want to see.
Behind The Man In Front Of Me
The man who's crawling in front of me
is practicing his guitar playing.
My radio renders his sounds
inaudible to me and tells me
we're in eight kilometers of traffic jam.
Paris A Ghost Town
The dome of Les Invalides
catches the rising sun's rays,
The Champs Elysees still empty,
as is Paris plage.

Morning traffic flows easily
past quais and boulevards.
It's August,
Paris a ghost town.
The Miracle Of Flying
                      The miracle of flying

                    never seizes to amaze.

                It starts out on the runway

                with the gathering of pace.

                 And then, defying gravity

       when the wheels lift off the ground;

                climbing to cruise altitude

          hearing the jets' powerful sound.



          Breathtaking views from way up

           where everything seems small:

           the cities, lakes and mountains;

              even the biggest wars of all.



        Then to touch down back on earth

          and make the amazement count.
Two swans on the Marne,
their offspring between them.
Watched from the boat by
champagne drinking partiers.

But actually, I see us,
in a little while.
You and I, our offspring between us,
wonderfully floating through life.




Marne Swans
Daddy Understands
Hello little big man, with your big smile,
your teeth coming through, your fluffy hair.
Yes, it is exactly as you say.
Let those crazy grown ups be,
they can babble and peek-a-boo all they want.
Daddy listens
and understands you better every day.
Untitled


I reached for the stars
and touched one.
The heat, cosy at first,
burned my hand.
But in the end
what remains is
that I touched a star.
Untitled




Their white bellies lit by the city lights, a flock of birds
passed by the clear evening sky last night
in perfect v-shaped waves.
Were they heralding spring
or fleeing today's snow?
Autumn In The Amsterdam Forest




                 Where our picknick basket stood this summer,
                 now lies a big puddle of mud.
                 The many playing and sunbathing
                 have yielded their space for the odd walker
                 in rain coat and ditto boots.
                 The ground is covered in leaves.

                 It is autumn, also in the Amsterdam Forest.
