Ik ben Rikki, en gebruik soms ook wel de schuilnaam Najade.
Ik ben een vrouw en woon in Mijnsheerenland (Nederland) en mijn beroep is poet-author, linguist, artist, publisher.
Ik ben geboren op 08/05/1946 en ben nu dus 78 jaar jong.
Mijn hobby's zijn: writing, reading, literature, painting, art, nature, classical music, history, Native American Spiritualism, Mythologie.
smokecurls whirling up from dozing farms the silver silence of a little baby's breath a tiny suckling in my ten'drest guarding arms no roof, no room, no window and no bed approaching dawn a hesitating red
I think of ages, ages passed of fleeing partisans and popes of wars & wonders, people blessed and others hung on lethal ropes
I watch the Frisians and the Franks the jaden shallows and the moors the wet and wholesome riverbanks the softly cracking homesteaddoors
I see my ancestors arriving from a'far my virgin mothers of the alps they may have followed just one star above their mountain's snowy scalps
now I'm a child, alone with mine embraced by New Yorks naked bricks yet I still sense one lucid line one clock that turns and turns and ticks
where could we go, where would we end this humble newborn life and I ? we came, we fought, we weren't sent just our dear God, just God knows why
It has been a while since I last added poems or messages to my blog and I am very sorry about that. Life has been hectic for my family and me. We have been coping with illness and serious worries about our loved ones...
Thank heaven peace seems to have returned to our house.
I do hope you're all well & happy. May spring & summer bring you its purest blessings.
