Agnes

We were close
Very close
When we were seventeen
While you had
That long blond hair
And a bike
That I had to change
For another
Because your legs
Were too long

I had to grow up
To the fact
You lost your parents
When you were twelve

And we were close
Even when you were sitting
At the other end
Of the college room
Smiling

We were close
Very close
And we were happy

Holland

Four season land
Water land
Western wind
Learned to sail

Spring time
Flowers smell
Expectation high
Tullips rule

Summer here
Music all around
Travel other land
Swim and play

Automn leaves
Birthday time
Rain and wind
Shorter days

Winter land
Christmas lights
Heading for
Another year

Where Spring is 
In the air
A newer life
Younger than before

The Kite Flyer

He watched the skies
In the morning
In the afternoon
For wind to move
Or a blue sky

He looked at the top
Of distant trees
To see the branches dancing
On a blowing wind
To fly his kite

It was a big colourful butterfly
Made out of cotton and bamboo
And a hundred meter long string
He watched it fly
High up in the sky

He dreamed he was that kite
Above it all
Dancing on the wind
Like a bird
In the sky

This boy laying in the grass
Watching the sky
And the kite dancing 
On the wind
Was me
