Evening air whispers

and softly caresses my arms.

Pleasant chills tickle my spine

after a long hot day.

The motionless sky above me darkens

and fades away my contours.

I slide in the night's embrace

and think of nothing but silence.

Time leaves me for a while

and waits patiently

untill I have to move again,

reluctantly and vague

back into life.

Cindy Dijk, August 19, 2009

Heavy-weight slow steps

 linger from dawn till dusk.

No rush, no speed, no haste,

just live at ease.

Every move made

drops sweat in slow motion.

Soothing excitement's speed,

and back to rest.

Crickets sing songs

in everlasting dusks.

Night soothes the day's heat,

 sleep will soon come.

Enjoys stillness

as long as she would like.

Duties are far away,

forgotten now.

I just compared summer with an overweight, slow woman lingering through life.

Young Master Springtime rules these months

immature behavior in a dazzling speed

unpredictably struggling to rule

satin sensible moods

followed by angry outbursts

clouds appear and go by

rain hits the ground like stamping feet

then a friendly sun soothes the soil

nature is confused

flowers bloom and suddenly shut

to protect themselves

birds stop their courting 

and hide under bushes

empty clouds sail away

and reveal the deep blue sky

comforting warmth embraces all

and forgives adolescent moods

Young Master, grow up fast please.

Wednesdaymorning. I had an infected sweat gland in my groin removed. The appointment in the hospital was at 11.30. One and a half hour and two chapters in my book later, it was finally my turn. A friendly nurse asked me to take off my trousers and to lay down on the bed. Then one surgeon came to have a look at his job, and carefully mentioned my underwear was in the way. I am not very prude, so my panties went off. Then I had to bend my leg up and sidewards, and I started to feel rather uncomfortable, being displayed like that. My cheeks coloured in an interesting warm red shade, and the nurse asked if anything was wrong. "Just feeling rather unhappy like this" , I replied. The surgeon could not but say that I had to try to ignore that. " That is easy for you to say" , I said " Shall we trade places so you can show me how to do that?" . Fortunately he had some sense of humour, and we could laugh about it. He made sure I was covered as much as possible. I thanked him, also because several rooms were connected so the nurses could switch tables easily. Sometimes I thought there might be a shopping mall around the corner.....so many people went by.

It was time to get started. Wow, those injections to numb really hurt. Weird idea. But I guess it will hurt more if cut without the injections. During the operation the surgeon entered areas that were not numb. The incision had to be bigger then expected. I could hardly lay still, it really hurt, and I asked ( and immediately got) some extra injections with local anaesthetic. I regretted asking right away...they hurt again!  I asked the nurse if the surgeon liked his patients to suffer, and she very seriously said "yes" . He was baffled, and it took him some seconds to realize we were making fun of him. He finished his job, had to wait for my approval of the stitches ( just making sure it looked good ) and I had the permission to get up. I sat up quickly, grabbed my panties and put them on. The nurse was saying to take it easy, many people are a bit dizzy after laying down, but I told her I'd worry about that with my panties ON.  Again a good laugh, and I could go home. In the car the numbness started to disappear and I risked some speedingtickets to get home quickly. I enjoyed all afternoon, trying to find a painless position. But right before bedtime the pain eased, and I had a good night's sleep.

At the moment I can walk and sit without any troubles, just bending down is an adventure. A beautiful black and blue area appeared on my leg and on one half of my female parts. Amazing. And it will be even better, when the colours change into green and yellow before disappearing. Human art.

My horse Billy will have another week off, but I am sure he will not mind at all. It is raining anyway.

And I have an excellent excuse to be online often!!!

Queen Winter is breathing ice
inhales warmth from living things
exhales cold to mother earth
stirs life to numbness

Water changes it's motion
slows down and freezes to glass
a milky mirror expands
and connects white shores

Sleeping trees in solitude
dream of sun and rain and life
wait for Princess Spring to come
and soften Queen's reign

Blue steel skies watch nature's rest
enlight Her Majesty's spell
untouched by beautiful scenes
still in white glory
