Description
Dear friends,
This is one of my poems, origine in Dutch. It's dedicated to a very special person and friend of mine: Mark (anahata.c).
Mark is not only a dear friend to me but to many. He's someone who always sees the beauty in people, a richly blessed person with many talents.
Add to that his skill in writing and humor.
He's someone to love, for his words, his reactions, someone with a deep soul.
De tinten van het meisje
Ik zag nieuwe kleuren
overal om me heen
wat staat er te gebeuren?
fantasie, naar het scheen
.
Het meisje mooi getint
zo open en zo vrij
wilde de wereld kleuren
vrolijk en dichter-
bij en dansend in ’t rond
leek het allemaal fleurig
wat zij op aarde vond.
English:
The shades of the girl
I saw new colors
Throughout around me
What is going to happen?
Fantasy, it seemed
.
The girl nicely tinted
so open and so free
wanted to color the world
cheerful and closer
dancing in the round
it all seemed to be gaily
What on earth she found.

Jacomina: Forgive me for commenting on this 6 weeks late. I just couldn't comment before now. I just sent you a note to let you know this comment is 'here'. Also, you've posted several wonderful works since this upload: When I return, I'll comment on them as well. But for now, thank you so much for this beautiful dedication. Your words are very dear and very kind, and they mean a lot to me. Your poem is about a girl who sees beautifiul colors and light all around her...and she seems to wish for those colors, as if she "wished them into existence". (Does that make sense in English? She "dreamt" them into existence. Or prayed them into existence. She "willed" them into existence.) It's beautifully written, and you have several beautiful rhymes in it. (You even create some rhymes in the translation: That's not easy to do! Rhyme doesn't translate well from language to language.) It's beautifully written.
As for the image: It's like a deep spirit, staring at us from the center of the cosmos. It has 2 amazing eyes, like a cosmic owl. And all these sprials swirl from the eyes, into the universe. It may be many other things, these are just the feelings I got from it. You created beautiful deep greens and deep dark aqua hues. And you use red beautifully: Red is a powerful contrast to Green (they're complementary colors---complementaire kleur? I hope that makes sense). And you have many organic forms in too---as if this 2-eyed creature is creating the universe, and lots of primal objects are flying out of its intense gaze. It's like a carnival in the center of the universe---a carnival of the mind or soul. It's another one of your beautiful and highly creative fractals. I love it.
Thank you for all of this, Jacomina. I appreciate this upload very much. Including your beautiful thoughts and your beautiful poem. I will comment on your new work as soon as I return here. As always, you post exquisite work. I wish you much healing a peace (and Karel too). With love and much gratitude, Mark
Thank you, thank you 1000 times, Mark! And, it really make sence what you wrote: "She "dreamt" them into existence. Or prayed them into existence. She "willed" them into existence". I wrote this poem from the perspective of the little girl inside me, as she looked at the world around her unconsciously and innocently at a young age; and indeed, it might have been wishful thinking. Yet I truly felt it, hidden within myself, inwardly turned, where it was safe and full of love, perhaps not wanting to face reality?
I love the way you express yourself so much, I feel so much affection for this writing because that's you, dear friend Mark. Impressive, interwoven words, as if they flow directly from your deep, beautiful inner self. I don't know what it is, how your special gift, developed as a unique talent. I can taste how it absorbs everything, so to speak. Now, if I were to continue in Dutch, I would immediately/automatically start composing poetry about "absorbing words" ;-)
I hope it didn't cost you too much pain to respond, Mark. I realize how difficult it is for you to 'get one physical pain after another'; and I recognize this too, as something that unexpectedly comes around the corner while you are busy looking forward to getting rid of an other burden. And once again, a little poem comes up in Dutch, that tendency to play with words: tricky burden. Dutch: lastige last. I think I do this unconsciously as a way to bring out the 'joker' or the jester in me, as a kind of diversion to camouflage reality. Camouflaging, trivializing, gallows humor, it's a beautiful escape, isn't it Mark?
From the bottom of my heart, I send love, healing, peace and prayers to you, with a big bow for you! Jacomina.
