Love On The Bridges Of Holland - (Version 2.3)

'
Wild ducks,
and gentle wind,
play on and ripple soothingly
the surface of the water.
'
Red bricks form walls
when up they rise from water's way
to pave a quay - aged centuries by now -
for barges to unload,
when waterways are major streets
and move the town with life.
'
Behind the quay, the bricks rise up once more,
and then - much higher now - again lie down:
They pave the narrow streets that look now down
upon the quay along the waterway, the 'Old Canal.'
'
And then across these narrow streets,
some bricks a third time reach for heaven...
building there the typical facades of Dutch
and often narrow houses.
'
Yet other bricks do pave the streets in front of these,
and where they meet the waterway again,
they arch to bridges - old a thousand years by now.
'
'
That's where I walked,
embracing thousand years of people living there,
in Holland,
embracing them with one glance of my eye.
'
And on her bicycle, a woman passed me by.
She looked me in the eye and asked:
"Are you a real angel?"
'
This was on Christmas Day,** so people are
more curious to see and feel who's there:
Allowed they feel
to be the love they are
...so natural.

human rights philosopher and poet
'God gave Solomon wisdom
and very great insight,
and a breadth of understanding
as measureless
as the sand on the seashore.'
1 Kings 4:29

Very much the opposite:
Koos Nolst Trenite, or "Cause Trinity" as they call him in English
language areas, is arguably the most intelligent, beautiful,
caring and loving, and most truthful philosopher known.
