Deep inside me is this seed
In search of light and water
to grow, before it’s soil runs dry.
Deep inside me is this dream that wants to awaken
to make itself come true,
before the sleep is over.
Deep inside me is this love in need of someone else’s love
To go hand in hand through life,
before horizon’s dawn.

The seed is in the dream
The dream is in the love
The love is in my being

The seed becomes a tree
The dream a shining light
The love the carrier of peace.



Shell✨🐚
A metaphor.
We are just like trees in need of love and light.
Let’s save ourselves, let’s save this beautiful world.
Raven black from lightless land.
God made fallen angel.
Important messages you bring.
Leave us broken minded.
Lost, still sincere  you are.
Sculptured like a twilight.
Representing what many of us are.
Two in one.


Shell ✨🐚
We all have two sides . A bad one and a good one
We all have a little bit of female and male inside
We all are  created by one Creator.
So don’t judge no one.
What you are today I can be easily tomorrow.
In the darkest of darkness
The lightest of light.
Where darkness and light meet.
Where eyes cannot see.
It’s there where magic is born.

Keep on falling towards
the endless bottom of the mind,
into the world of your deepest faith.
Like going to the black of space
where the real light is.
Where your loved one awaits.

Behind once closed doors
you’ll see all your dreams and desires.
Open your window and wait.
Everything you dreamed of is right there.

I’m in Eden’s garden
A whole community of people talking, laughing.
Walking hand in hand.
All kinds of flowers and animals together.
Only peacefulness and harmony.
Fairies are flying sprinkling sparkles on me.
I see you coming, my prince, on white horse and all.
I smile.



Shell✨🐚
Magic. We all should have a little bit of magic inside us.Your imagination is truly yours .
Yours only.  Dream while you can.
Lotus bud in sparkling haze,
slowly opening in search of light.
Special bloom from ancient times.
Unique in stimulating ways.
Rebirth of many things.
Calming restless minds.
Caressing eyes with charm.
Magic to gloomy days.



Shell ✨🐚
Ancient flower. Symbol of all that’s good in life.
When midnight is here
Christmas trees are coming to life.
All the angels are humming, watching universe lightening up while reindeer fly higher and high.
Eyes delight.
Heaven opens sending blessings to a world in need.
It’s the wonder of birth of our Savior.
All planets are silent.
Observing caribou like creatures without wings, flying.
And Christmas begins….
Close your eyes,
Pray and sing.




Shell ✨🐚
In this time it’s very hard to believe in the magic of Christmas.
Still let’s be positive and keep praying.
When the sun is leaving
magenta colored sky
Brilliant like stars are finding their way before nightfall
Over surface of sparkling waters they go
Creating violet branches
Where water and land become one.
Nature’s wonder,
nightfalls birthcanal.
Twilight in heaven
and night falls.


Shell ✨🐚
Beautiful twilight
Witnesses of all time.
On holy grounds they are.
Many people laid to rest everywhere over millions of years.
Living further in green suits,
majestic and tall.
In all shapes and forms.
People come and go.
Look at them standing now.

Forest full of green
Our ancestors watching.
Giving us oxygen to breathe.
Handle it with care.


Shell✨🐚
Realize the worth of nature. We are part of it.
Destroy it and we destroy ourselves.
I dance the dance of long forgotten flowers
Field of white marigolds
The beautiful sight makes me happy, makes me want to sing and glow.
I am the mary of my garden, sweet mary gold.
I will swirl in the the dance of lovers  up to heaven
Up in golden dress I’ll go.
To a place where all the light is
Where my lovers love will grow.
Flowers gate to lovers heaven
I am mary,
all the way I dissolve and go.
Leave golden sparkles behind me on my field of marigolds.

Shell✨🐚
Nothing can hold back
pure waters breaking through the cracks of rocks
and flow the natural way to eternal waters.
Set free body and soul
Let the divine carry you.




Shell ✨🐚
Quote:  If it’s meant to be it will find a way
Like the wind whispers everywhere
Caressing everything while passing
Such is the essence of this life
enlightening of heart and soul
to come to  peace of mind.
Everlasting.

Shell ✨🐚
Angels humming quietly
Soft melody of the divine
Song in happy children’s laughter
travel up to the sky
through gates of cherry blossom splendor.
Melody of love and sadness
in the hearts of everyone.
Deeply hidden in baby’s innocence
Going all the way through life
Till in old men broken smile.



Shell✨🐚
We all have our own melody of life .
Angels humming quietly
Soft melody of the divine
Song in children’s happy laughter
travel up through clouds and rain
to gates of cherry blossoms sky.
Melody of love and sadness
In the hearts of everyone.
Deeply hidden in baby’s innocence.
Going all life long
Till in old men broken smile.


Shell ✨🐚
Yesterday my aunt lost her only child.
Suddenly, unexpectedly.
So much sadness.
She is  inconsolable
Dark December for many.
RIP Marlon.
Melodies
of fluid nature.
Rainfall’s
pacifying calls.
Peaceful humming
of forest rapids.
Mountain’s waterfalls
echoing on and on
Nature’s streaming song.




Shell ✨🐚
So many soothing sounds of nature’s waters
Scent and music
Both shortcuts to long term memory
Fragrance imbedded in my mind
Fragrance of a very special kind
Aroma of food or the scent of freshly mowed grass
Like parfume of the cherry blossoms
Rising up to heaven
Walking through the streets
memories of what used to be
connected with all senses.
A long lost melody
bringing  everything back to life right before my eyes.
Pleasure, pain and delight.
All feelings
like a long forgotten song
Stays  forever in the mind.


Shell✨🐚
Precious memories stay forever with us. That’s a beautiful thing.
Beautiful garden in the night
Warm shadows of trees in moonlight
Like
Singapore’s tropical botanic oasis
Seems like paradise on earth
Come close before I close my eyes.
Let’s meet in
lovers garden of green
at midnight hour.


Shell✨🐚
Many gardens of Eden all over the world.
Deserted streets
Some bursting with life
Food streets
Money to earn
While tasting cultures
Children asleep.
Many
are born, others die.
Crimes which
couldn’t see daylight
Homeless on streets in the cold.
Dogs keep barking
Birds sitting quiet
Couples making love
Others trying to sleep.


Shell✨🐚
Like valleys low and mountains high
I lay me down and watch nights sky
Under sickle moon and sparkling stars
Await my loved one from afar.
Secret midnight rendezvous.
Looking up above I dream with  eyes open wide.


Shell ✨🐚
Take me dream to pleasant dreams
In silence
On  night’s island
where different colored flowers are awake under dark velvet blanket sky
In the presence of white admirals.
Black feline on the hunt
watching carefully this strange behavior.

Listening to silent night
of peaceful midnight longings.
Where in my dream I’ll pick for you beautiful wildflowers
Smell the sweet scent of nights air
while waiting for you
in my dream’s dream garden.



Shell✨🐚
Midnight’s longings
The mind
Always wandering
Eyes always searching
The heart always wondering
Who to let in.

Shell✨🐚
When you experienced bad things with people you once trusted you change,
Trust can be difficult sometimes .
Clear soft blue sky
Not a cloud not a star
See your mirror image
in the  not rippled waters
Two pale moons to  be seen
Not a breeze you can feel
Not a sound you can hear
Silence all around
Giving innerpeace to be
I look at natures flawless painting
Gods own creation
Reminds me of all the mirror images on this earth.
Look at you and see me.

Shell✨🐚
Beauty of nature everywhere in all of us.
Out of the blue comes a rainbow
Colors of hope
makes you smile
It’s the mirror of life itself
Yes the sky
Look in the mirror
Beneath the surface
Deep in the eyes
You’ll see me.


Shell ✨🐚
Deep within we are the same.
The sky a good metaphor of life
Sun , rain , light , dark
Deep inside we are the same
Rainbows
Symbol of hope
Lavenders scent
in evening wind
carrying long lost
precious memories.
Brings you close to me
once again
Burning eyes
Aching heart
Just miss you so.


Shell ✨🐚
Sitting alone
Thinking again and again
The images in my conscience can’t go away
I’m reminded every giving moment when I’m alone.
You gave me away
For what?
To thrive?
I don’t fit in in this society.
I’m from my land and my sea.
Miss my own people
I miss the old me.
I’m a stranger who doesn’t fit in.
I tried, God how I tried.
There is this long forgotten song
deep in me.
I’ve cried every night since you left me here.
I’m blood of your blood
How can’t you understand me.
Or feel what I feel.
Mother don’t you miss me?


Shell ✨🐚
It’s astonishing how adopted children always search for their biological parents, no matter how good they have it . In a way understandable too.
My heart aches,
eyes filled with tears
Every time I come home
My eyes search for you
I expect  to hear you bark
come to me with wiggling tail
Happy to see me.
Now it’s silent
I almost asked
Where is he?
Every time you would wait for me
to eat together
Yes it was stressful at the end
But how I miss you my faithful friend.
How I miss you when I come home and you’re not there.
Every time .

Shell ✨🐚
Zippy was our little pekingese for 13 years
I wrote 40 short stories about him in Dutch
10 printed for friends and family in Holland and Belgium . Cute little character he was.
Moments
Of sorrows, receiving bad news.
Moments
Of pain, losing someone.
Thousands of feelings
A moment a day
Moments
Of happiness, a baby is born
Moments of joy
you find your loved one.
Many people
Who want to die,
life too unbearable,
don’t want to try.
Who want to live,
life is a blessing, want to give.
So many things happening
In a moment a day.
Moments of beauty of sorrow
and pain
Of gratitude and grace
Moments of love still remain

Each and every day
Let’s cherish each other
Every moment of the day
Life can be over in a
moment
Any day.

Shell✨🐚
Lost in a dark space
Dancing in my mind,
all night long on the melody within.
The song that’s in my heart
bringing back memories dear to me,
long forgotten words like bright butterflies
in search of attractive colored bloom.
Memories from time that’s death
still shining like a star on midnight’s heaven.
I smell the scent of white jasmine
and in your arms I’m back again.
Then everything fades away and I’m back
above grey clouds where there is no light to see.
Floating around not knowing who I am and where I’m going.
Lost in my world of silence.
I hear voices known to me
not knowing who are the speakers.
Drowning in shallow waters,
pray to God to set me free,
lead me home to familiar faces.
The fear that is choking me like
black cotton in my airways.
In a moment very clear to me
I’m back with my mother, brothers, sisters
and my father.
Home sweet home.
I’m smiling.
I am found.



Shell ✨🐚
Dementia, much pain and sadness for the patient and everyone close.
Movements, unseen
Moments in time
Wings of the butterfly
Fluttters become still life,
a picture in the making.
Nature paintings
Coming to life
You see golden eagle flying high taking a dive in search of a prey.
Porcelain snow mountains,
strong but fragile,now melting. Avalanche danger.
Wild flowers dancing in the wind. Just growing wild .
Happy picture they paint
Popcorns in the sky
from white to grey
to thunder storms
Green branches of big old trees. Slowly moving with the wind. Losing their colors with sour rains.
Looking at nature
I wonder
Everything is moving....yet still.
A moment in time captured.
Where is our appreciation
Where is our love.
Moments in nature
Meant to be
everlasting in time.
Soon all will be gone.




Shell ✨🐚
Nature, always moving, moments in time.
Truth and sadness are always silent.

Mona Lisa , Mona Lisa
Men must have just told you
How beautiful you are.
What all seem to have missed
is the sadness behind the smile.
When you look
throughly and  sincerely
you can see the pain within the eyes.

We all have a little bit of Mona Lisa inside.


Shell ✨🐚
Sadness is part of living. How often we smile while being intensely sad.
When the night turns black
And the moon is asleep
No one is watching earth
That’s when
they come out of hiding
All along they’ve been there
Watching
their beloved moon and earth
Taking care
Now asleep with closed eyes
A tender smile
Angels all around you
and so in love.
Kissing you lightly
on the cheek.





Shell✨🐚
Protected by angels
Feelings of love
After our enchanted night
You watched me sleep with magic delight
For the moon never beams
without bringing me dreams
Stories untold, passion unfold
Make me daydream till
nightfall
till we meet again .....
Then once again I’ll fall
under your spell
magical dreams
under your smile.
Warmth of your beams,
puts me to sleep
Into dreams garden I’ll go
Where my lover I meet
I’ll be there till golden dawn
Moon in early morning light
Promise you hold
to welcome the sun
Welcome the day
Say goodbye once again
to our enchanted night.

Shell✨🐚
Beautiful old oak  tree
under moonlights shine
Standing big and tall
Mighty roots golden brown
Branches wide you reach
A light breeze makes you move your leaves
Whispering
as wind is passing by.
Touching you, caressing you.
Midnight blue ceiling
with crystal ball
lightening up the night
Make this fairytale picture
Makes me
want to flee into the night.
under moonlight tree of wonder
watching moon and sky
while my loved one is close by.


Shell✨🐚
At day time I am asleep
angel of the moon
I close my eyes
in the warmth of sunbeams
I dream
At night I am awake
I visit my moon.
I visit the garden
of the dream
of my passionate lover
in the light of the moon.




Shell ✨🐚
At night I visit my moon where your dreams are.
I was searching for the Moon above in coral blue sky
Suddenly I saw one big yellow eye
hanging low, watching me walk
A “ wow “ is all I could say.
I was surprised and happy to see
my Moon where I didn’t expect her to be.
Moon you are leaving to welcome the Sun
but already made my day so
thank you for making me smile.



Shell ✨🐚
Moon love
As night falls
And it’s my turn to appear in full.
I never know what comes by
What I will see
These eyes of the moon
Tonight it’s an adventurous night
I witness a play in the sky.
Out of the clouds
a big poodle appeared
accompanied by  a cow in the south
a big eyed robot was looking their way
Maybe they all wanted to play
Just as I was shining my light
on this stage
a big alien like cloud was coming this way
blocking my sight.
In a second my beautiful image will be gliding away
Driven by the wind
Dear poodle and cow will be no more.
Alien like creature
will be washed  away
when heavy rain falls.


Shell ✨🐚
Imagination,  clouds  in the sky and in your mind.
Walking barefoot on wet grass
in morning dew.
While the sun breaks through
Soft beams are warming you.
Feel happy, feel free
These are the little things
giving meaning to your life.
Close your eyes enjoy.
A new day to be welcomed with gratitude and delight.

Shell ✨🐚
Be grateful every morning!!
Don’t cry because I’m gone
One flower
From me to you
Our plant in bloom
Letting you know, I’m still around.



Shell ✨🐚
And she carried you
And she always will.
Till there is no tomorrow
Then you will carry her.



Shell ✨🐚
Happy Mother’s Day .
Reflection of  sundrops
As diamonds moving
rough bright rock vulcanos
Goldmines shining
through the grounds ,
in the dirt hiding
Ready for mining
Pearls under sea at
oceans bottom
Sheltered by  shells
Covered up by plastic waste
All this richness of this earth
in the darkest of all places.
That’s the beauty of Mother Nature
Till greed of men ruined everything.
Global warming at the end.
End of planet Earth , Human kind
and Mother Nature


Shell ✨🐚
Save Earth.
Sky mountains waters
Eternity mirror view
Silent wind listen
Look as far as eyes can see
Inner peace will follow
Sitting, watching
Connecting.





Shell ✨🐚
Meditation in nature
Become part, become one.
With music everything
inside you  comes to life
The joy, the pain
The memories.


Shell ✨🐚
Music is felt deep inside!!!
Nothing can bring a feeling back as music does
Happiness, sadness, passionate love ,
all kinds of feelings.
Hidden emotions deep within.
Coming to life, in a melody that
lives in our hearts
Listening to music can do the same .
Makes you feel, gives a smile
or tears in the eyes
Touches deep within
We recognize each other in just listening.
Brings us together,
makes one realize
how very much alike we are.
Different appearances
from different cultures and lands
Still it’s the same melody that touches our hearts.



Shell   ✨🐚
Music, the art of our soul
Listening to music
like oxygen through the veins
To the depth of the mind
Puts a smile on the face
Or tears in the eyes
Sometimes both.
Makes you move, makes you swing.
Makes you silent, makes you think.
All kinds of feelings
Connects all kinds of people
All over the world
It makes life worth living.



Shell✨🐚
The importance of music in life
Don’t walk too far away, yet.
Stay close, flesh of my flesh.
I always want to be able hold you.
For now.
Let my eyes never lose sight.
Your mother I’ll ever be.
There will be enough time
when you leave.
Please human, don’t hurt him.



Shell ✨🐚
Happy and blessed Mother’s Days to all mothers.
Mothers always pray for their children.
There will come that time to let them go.
Please always protect them.
My beloved is mine and I am his.

Walking  through the valley in early morning mist.
Where  there is this field of flowers
Where time stands still.
and only you and I exist.

Where there is no yesterday nor tomorrow
A silent promise to fulfill.
Where there is no pain nor sorrow.
A soothing feel is all there is.

The hope to meet you here and always
To lay forever by your side
To always be together
In each others arms in endless night

I’ll be yours  forever beloved
as you are mine till end of time.
Lost forever in each other
Where peace prevails and love never dies.


Shell ✨🐚
Solomon’s song verse 16 -17
My beloved is mine and I an his
He feedeth among the lilies
Until the day breaks and the shadows flee away, turn, my beloved and be thou like a roe or a young heart upon the mountains of Bether.
When he saw his love for the first time he knew.
Instantly.
Deep in you it’s rooted. This love.
Long before meeting.
The one has already arrived in the mind
while the eyes are still blind ,
the heart still searching.
This loved one stays with you forever.
You will do anything ,
Wait till end of days
travel through time
cross timelines
just to meet, to live and love.
Forever and ever.
True love is written in the stars.
It’s meant to be like in a fairytale.
I know I’m dreaming but that’s the way it should be.
Don’t wake me up,
let me dream my dream of dreams and meet my love.
Over and over.

Love, like a  misplaced flower on a snow mountain
like a comet  traveling through time.



Shell ✨🐚
In my dreams is that place.
Where we meet, you and me.
When I  arrive,
sweet moon of mine,
grey dream gets colour
and shine.
I put on high heels for you
so we can kiss at our moulin rouge.



Shell✨🐚
In love with the moon.
Don’t walk before me
Don’t walk behind me
Walk beside me
So we can hold hands
That’s what it’s all about.
I can walk miles to meet you
If you walk miles too
and meet me in the middle.



Shell ✨🐚
Love
I dance the dance of my ancestors .
Wear my culture as my skin
Present myself with all emotions
In honor of those  before me ,
roots of my standing tree.
The ones  who live through me forever in my genes they  be.
It is the dance of unspoken promise
A song of love from deep within
I’m happy , alert
and free in waiting .
To come and take me far away
Flying high as eagle birds do
Hear the longing in the rhythm
In this golden eagle dance
For you my love , my country
I am in full display.

Shell✨🐚
Treasure Your culture, what you inherit from generations before you
It’s who you are!
Sad or happy, it’s there
In everyone’s story,
No exception.
Feelings, universal.
Human,
we are,
with our own melody.
When dying we all remember.
In our own way.


Shell ✨🐚
We think we are different
We are not
Even world leaders
We are the same!!!
Same flesh, blood and
feelings.
Comets hit planets all the time
Leaving  craters behind.
Creating  hellish landscapes
for man to study to get a sign.
Vulcanos erupting everywhere
streams of lava
cooling billion of years.
A cosmos created so devine.
Black space with eight known
planets circling around.
Around one flaming source called  sun.
Universe in motion still not done.
The mystery remains.
Countless scientists studying with little gain.

Cosmos, mysterious reflection of life itself.
A colorful amazing picture .
Natural mandala
Created by  God himself!
