silence broken
by the soft breezes
the pond is stirred
we walk among those hills
leave our wooden shoes behind

half timbered houses
abut the hill – an eagle’s nest
full of family warmth

A small line of sun
between the curtains:
dust on mahogany
Een klein streepje zon
tussen de gordijnen door:
stof op mahonie

Each time
I try to smile I also
show my teeth.
Elke keer als ik
probeer te lachen laat ik
ook mijn tanden zien.

You’re welcome 🙂 It was lovely there though I would love to visit in some other month than January next time. I’ll bet it’s even nicer outside of winter!

Never stop writing. Never let others dictate what you can or can’t do – do what your heart tells you. You have talent, so please let it shine 🙂
