Jaap's
Paintings & Poems & Ideas
Jaap is retired,
and now cooks and paints and writes,
and enjoys life to the full
Jacob's Ladder
Meditating on a visualisation of the way
The trappings of creation
Morning Scene
Two chairs in their pyjamas
with the morning paper
on a sun-drenched terrace
One leans a bit on the other
They look reasonably happy
Don’t they?
Our assumptions about the World
Are formed in childhood
We tell ourselves childhood stories
About who we are and
Who they are
Our assumptions know not
The real self knows
Knows who you are
Knows the stories as dust or clouds
Or whorls in nothingness
Knows you, my Maker,
Knows me, my Maker
A meter above the crown of my head
The real self starts and extends
Light-years into eternity
Where among the stars
Deep dreams unfurl
Into eternal friendships
Fever dream of an 8-year-old
