When it’s dark —
Which is usually the case in this season,
Only the heart can truly catch up on
Eternity’s spark
In Darkness
The Dark Days Of The Year
Full daylight makes no appearance
‘Non-essential’ shops are shut
Yet, the crowds strut
Some of my final crops lost brilliance
This Midwinter
Jupiter & Saturn in conjunction
But, behind clouds — I saw nothing
No cold, some wind, it was raining
Some Christmas phone conversation
Pleasant Days
Global Warming
January Sun once felt poor
Now, it warms like early October
Even the bright heavenly blue color
Belongs to September

Comfortable Evening
Enjoyable the meal
Favorite movie
Comfort we may feel
When only artificial light we see
@D
Merry Christmas ⭐✨
Midwinter Days
Two weeks around 21 December
Always dark, as long as I remember
Yet, so satisfied about many things
Busy improving what still clings
@D
Everyone Is Here
Sons, siblings: They are, will be here
For the holiday cheer
So much happens this year
The clock I often fear
@D
Almost Midwinter
No full daylight
Candles, Christmas decoration
Soon, it’s June, with its bright light
How many are left ~ is an observation
@D
Like Spring
Blackbirds sang
Gentle temperature
Already I heard the bang
Of fireworks, to give 2015 a closure
@D
Rain
As ever at the shortest day
Rains fall from a low, gray sky
The water finds its way
As does candle light into the sky
@D
Boat
Apocalypse day rainy day
I was on my boat anyway
No other place where I’d want to be
Now look who’s here: you, me
@D
Short Days
Low sun under a watery sky
The elements are razing by
Pleasant small lights make us forget
The early sunset
@D
Vroege winter
Bijna tien centimeter is de laag al
Met tussenpozen vallen grote hoeveelheden
Schemering begint om kwart over drie heden
Kinderen rollen de ene na de andere grote bal
Met tussenpozen vallen grote hoeveelheden
Schemering begint om kwart over drie heden
Kinderen rollen de ene na de andere grote bal
