Dark bright eyes
black waving flagrant hair
in the languid smokey air
blossom colors
on their subtle moving clothes
silent feet
apparently
without any hasty aims
the smell of baked meat
in endless quiet evenings
with ancient, holy treats.
The world is young and new again
animals and things
have not their common names
sparrow and flying eagle are
“finger wave” and “armwide beast”
talkative with body signs
we read
what never ever
could be said
in our smiling eyes.
About shibui
I am Dutch, 71 years young, married to a lovely Indonesian woman. Most of the time we are living in Bali. I am early retired as an educational psychologist and manager of social institutions. I have plenty of time now for old and new interests. I love serious stuff, like books about meditation or spirituality. But, "Why not", I asked myself, "More fun, exciting and humorous?" I hope to be able to share my interests with kindred people, to learn new things and get exciting ideas and inspiration.
