Amsterdam

Wind mills, tulips and other flowers can be found in Amsterdam.

It is the capital city of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, also known as Holland.

There once was a Count of Holland named Floris V.

He had many children. Some were out of wedlock. One was named Catherina.

She was not part of any official lineage.

Her spirit still spins around like the wind mills of Amsterdam.

Her wings sail with the revolving blades.

She has no ground to stand upon.

Her lonely shrieks fill the air on a starry night.

Perhaps, Edvard Munch and Vincent van Gogh could hear her cry.

My name is Katherine J. Krein. I lost my father in June of 2013, and then I lost my mother in November of the same year. After they both died I went through a mind-warping number obsession that has taken me years to control. This is my story. It is now 2025. I still use this site to post some poems and thoughts. My obsession has faded, however, I still notice the numbers. Faith, hope, and love is what guides me now.
