I look up high for the light
and then I am smitten
Your eyes are like diamonds
that sparkle and glisten
Your smiles soothes all of the years
Your warmth calms
my darkest fear
*
The moon may shine bright at night
or it is just missing
Sunrise is so bright
or it can be hidden
a kind consideration brings good cheer
We see best
when skies are clear
*
Find more insight that is tight
Either spoken or written
The prize in the skies
We can not be dismissing

Time is just how it appears

Hold health and comfort so dear

Better times are always here

*
Angels will save us
Sometimes from the pages
Sometimes from the skies
And at different stages
With some of their praises
Sometimes in disguise
And with many faces
*
Angles will save us
Sometimes from the rages
Sometimes from the lies
and as we make our wages
We go through the paces
Sometimes we are wise
in all of the places
*
We have to fight for the heights
of peaks in our mission
Sunshine calms our mind
When rain falls, we listen

You and I should stay so near
Better times are always here

You don’t have to second guess me

I have done it to myself

It’s alright, it’s alright

It’s alright now

At least I’m trying

I’ve got nothing else

*

Hollow trophies do not impress me

I don’t want them on my shelf

It’s not just the way we look at things

It’s the story that really tells

**

I know some of you

will share these views

and can relate to these perceptions

*

Between things we say

and what we do

We can’t concentrate on perfection

**

Just get through the days

Welcome calm peace

Get excited just about good stuff

*

Stay aware of grace

and the Earth beneath

Anytime can be good or get tough

**

When we notice how the world tests us

We may have to tell ourselves

I am fine, I am fine

It’s going to be fine

There is always something else

*

Some new current times will bless us

If time freezes, it can melt

If it is just the way we handle things

It is always how we have felt

We know where we are going

But we don’t know

how we will get there

So suddenly

We walk all alone

The path is shown

The sky whispers

and the cool wind moans

Aware of the ground beneath us

There is fate in every step

Watch it

*

From the quiet of our mind

As we walk down

the longest hallway

A new voice speaks

Resounds and echoes

The way it goes

The spirit talks and

No one else knows

We now have the room to speak up

We may only have one chance

Watch it

*

Watch the moments as they slither past

Raindrops writhing on the window’s glass

We look through

To see our day

Far above the skies are grey

When sun bursts through the heavy clouds

Our hearts wake up

We shake off doubt

The sound of truth trembles in the trees

Light in our day speaks eloquently

*

We reach our destination

But we don’t know

Just how we got here

Fortunately

We are always home

On this third stone

Our world can shine

Life sets a tone

Angles of life that will reach us

We can’t take it for granted

Watch it

*

Careful

and be alert

And nobody gets hurt

Need help, say the word

Now Watch it

Every day there are adventures
Every time I stop and think
There is always something more here
for us all to explore
Then there are challenges and changes
Find the explanation

I just don’t want any more
Sometimes I don’t want any more
*
Every day there are some detours
Every time we can stop and think
Things can always get hard core here
And we just can’t ignore
There will be challenges and changes
Find our expectations
Sometimes we all have
many more

You know we all have many more
*
Soon we have a good solution
Find the answer
We calculate it
The new movement
Really matters
Pause to think of the equation

*
More hard work leads to improvement
*
We design peace of mind
By being kind to ourselves
We can find intense times
And define our own health
*
Every day we reach the future
All the time we can stop and think
There is always more in store here
When we open up the door
There will be challenges and changes
Find calm concentration
to help us all with much more

Then help us all with much more
*
We outline a piece of our mind
And then really find ourselves
We design better times
When we strive for much more health

*

When we strive for much more health

There are things that we don’t question.

There are things that we do question.

It is what helps define and shape our personal views and how we understand the world.

Our Design (A Working Truth)

Science races
Religion braces
Those pages
take us
through many stages
We realize now
that their truth
Is always fate here
It is on our minds
and nothing can break it
*
We keep pace with
Social graces
They take us places
Through many spaces
We realize now
that their groove
Is the main basis
To make up our minds
It is all at stake here
*
Strong as fire
And our desire
We stay closer
on the live wire
Or connected together
As we admire
Believe what makes sense
And what truly inspires
*
Talk so much
Shocking touch
Our understanding
Comes through in the clutch
*
Science saves us
Religion saves us
Those pages
Engage us
Through many phases
We realize now
how they improve
how life is made up
In body and mind
Somehow now we break through
Find a working truth
For all of time
All that we know
Is on the line
It is our design

It is about
how we look at things sometimes, whether we are thriving or coping (or both).

Life Naturally Occurring

We aim to be thriving
Now we are coping
*
It can all depend on
How we handle the pressure
*
We could have not that much
But still be in touch
It is all about how we keep it together
*
What do we have to do
to prove ourselves?
*
Prove what we say
And stay more trustworthy
*
What do we have to do
To share the wealth?
Win some for ourselves
with no worries?
**
We aim to keep striving
Like we are chosen
*
It can all depend on
How we have learned to measure
*
We could have not that much
and be more in touch
It is more about how we all stay together
*
What do we have to do
to prove ourselves?
*
Prove what we say
And think otherworldly
*
What do we have to do
To share more health?
Find more for ourselves?
*
Just don’t hurry
*
We aim for survival
Together flowing
*
Life naturally occurring

I do what I do
Because that’s how I feel well
Live well
and be well
*
I think what I think
Because I can sort things out
All doubt
Can get out
Right out of the park
*
Moving fast around the bases
All I can think of is faces and places
Cheering loudly for social graces
Success happens when it’s
Not a phase and
We have good taste
*
We make it happen
By having the mind set
Learn how to find it
By following the play
Every single day

*
And do what we do
Because we work to feel well
Live well
And be well
*
I do what I do

I hope we ALL feel well
Live well
and be well
*
We think what we think
Somehow we will sort things out
So loud
If we shout
When the lights go dark
*
Proving mass
the curtain raises
All we can think of is faces and aces
Cheering loudly for social graces
Success happens when we
Keep the pace
*
and make it happen
By having the mind set
Learn how to time it
Having patience with fate
Every single day

*
And do what we do
Because we strive to feel well
Live well
And be well

It seems sometimes
We can find
peace of mind
Mostly when
the hard times blend
It starts again
With our good times now
Tough times will pass
When we dig in
And have a blast
*
Just like some days
We can play
All the way
Only when
We contend
Then start again
The good times now
We make them last
We hold on tight
Time goes by fast
*
Time flies when we are having fun
But we have to crawl
Before we can run
we may fall behind
And then feel like we are done
then light returns
With the rising sun
*
Some way somehow
We start out
Maybe now
Only when
we are confident
Strength starts again
more good times now
Are times that last
When we take care
An interesting task
*
Taking care and harming no one
Be good to ourselves
the life that we run
we can share good times
and the connection we have won
New light still burns
in the setting sun

We can sail through the stars                                         

And get into thoughts that matter

Shining scales     so blue and dark

The water’s surface shatters

*

I won’t fail to do my part

And get into thoughts that matter

Catch the tails    of moving sharks

People on the beach  all  scatter

*

Thinking about our deep thoughts

Our mind is an ocean

In our own precious head

Moving fast and entertaining the notion with immense range

Like    when   we  reach  the sky instead

*

Thinking about our deep thoughts

Like a rock on the bottom of a riverbed

Staying still

but still feeling constant motion

Until intense change

like    when a flood delivers it

*

Constellations above      We are far beneath

Calm conclusions   

The bottom line      We will reach

Focused thoughts go further

and actions are complete

*

The wind wails to be smart

and gets into thoughts that matter

Rain or hail

Won’t lose our spark

Bright stars know    our whole thought pattern

Versatile
We have a style
Work through hell
With a sure smile
*
The other moment
I thought that we had it made
but now we have to fight again
*
Moving forward
with our plans
Now we have to take a stand
*
Take an angle
Don’t leave us hanging
Have to know that we can manage
*
Confidence will take us a long way
Don’t take it the wrong way
Somehow
it will all work out
**
Single file
We face the wild
Get past hell
Intense not mild
*
The other moment
We had it made in the shade
Now we have to fight for the light again
*
Moving outwards
Vision spans
Only when we understand
*
See the angle
To help us manage
Here together on this planet
*
Confidence will take us a long way
Don’t take it the wrong way
Somehow
Some way
Every day
It should all work out

Smouldering dreams
as I wake up
The clouds are lit
Streaming down from the morning sky
*
The source of the fire
at the center of it all
Our belief
The vision
The sun rises fast before it falls
Then rises again
So purely unstoppable
With energy we lead
We also have a steady glow
Hand over hand
We live our life
Shining greater than them all
*
Everything gleams
The days light up
A perfect fit?
Beaming down into our mind’s eye
*
Beyond the new tide
We find new worlds and that’s not all
Our belief
More vision
Like waves rising fast before they fall
Then rising again
So surely on top of all
With energy we lead
We also have an even flow
Hand in hand
We live our life
Riding fate fast with them all

I can hear the birds
Waking up the day
They welcome us excitedly
In a magical kind of way
*
I work through the day
Sometimes through the night
I can’t stop yet
I can’t stop the fight
*
In the morning I find courage
A new start is all I need
Moments without worry
A new day takes the lead
*
I can see the sun
making up the day
It connects to us infinitely
In a transcendent type of way
*
I work for my pay
Sometimes we are tight
I can’t stop yet
I can’t stop the fight
*
Raging through time
Calm is vital
A reset is what we need
For moments engines idle
A recharge helps us breathe
*
Fresh breeze is in the air

Save all of the day

Now is an eternity

Time can always go our way
*
I work just to stay
More times in the light
I can’t stop it
I can’t stop the fight

*

I work all the way

And I gain insight

I can’t stop

I can’t stop the fight

Sometimes the best time
is standing up again
Breathing in
Looking around
And feeling set again
*
What will we do next?
How do we make it happen?
Every day
We shake the ground
It is something to keep track of
*
Impact we make
There seems to be no lack of
Each day we are on the attack again
*
Sometimes the best time
is feeling calm again
Breathing in
and looking around
Feeling on top again
*
What will we do first?
How can we make it happen?
We can get ahead
By leaps and bounds
It is something that impacts us
*
Each chance we take
There seems to be a stack of
Each day we remain bold, intact and safe
*
Stretching for health
Bending over backwards
For a wealth of ideas
To make us feel well
Not sitting idle
In some mental hell
Like held by the stress
That we can not tell
For fear of our shape
Coming out of our shell
Then realizing our depth
However we fell
We rise like the sun
Sharing understanding in words
Thoughts clear as a bell
Sometimes can help
*
Sometimes the best time
is rolling out again
Breathe the wind
Hear the cool sound
Feeling ready again
*
What will we do now?
How should we make it happen?
Every day
The world spins around round round
In every way
Our life is reactive
*
Relax, relate
Life seems to be attractive
Let’s find ways
to create a success that stays

There is more than one solution, but there is one solution.

There are a lot of problems. One of us can only scratch the surface. However, I do feel that if we all have a mind set towards progress and solutions (rather than stagnation) then our work pays off, and we build synergy, even if there is some push and pull.

We are here
All together
Meant for more
On this Earth
*
When we hold back
Past forever
We won’t score
The end comes first
*
Sometimes we have no idea
We can’t see
What we need
And what life is worth
*
Seems quite clear
We need courage
Today is nourished
When we have no fear
Surviving here
Finding good ways
to have good cheer
*
And getting past the grind
To find peace of mind
More of the time
We get past worries
With no hurry
Take care more purely always
*
Look through trouble
Stay calm enough
Don’t ever suffer
It’s a dream
that I love more
*
We are here
All together
We want more
For what it’s worth
*
When we think fast
Still stay clever
Love life more
Our thoughts come first

We make our day in our own way
We are all different through the haze
The sun in the sky won’t always stay
But there is more than one star in the day
*
Sun is shining or clouds are gray
Every night vast darkness plays
When we surface fast
nightmares may fade
Stars stay past all time
beyond any shade
*
The light within
Energy with no end
We feel okay
We have a friend
*
Stars that shine for ten billion years
And all of the time we have been here
In eternal night we can not fear
There is always light
Far away comes near
*
Vision intense
The world appears
Sun so far brings heat
Skies become clear
The Earth is a massive spinning sphere
The depths and heights are absolutely sheer
*
Find light within
We can always begin
To feel alright
We have time to spend

One image
One moment
One event in the day

Can change everything
For better or worse

Either way

Sometimes I get the feeling that

I will be in the same mood forever

Then life happens     And I realize
My mood is like the weather

Sunshine can seem glorious
A relaxing warmth that’s brave  

Not Fearing

Clear skies can mean more to us
Grey clouds and rain can seem so dreary

But the sun can be too hot for us
Sometimes we need the rain
And wind can be refreshing
Or like a hurricane

Sometimes our mood stays balanced

With impressive resilience      

We face continuous change

Sometimes the more that it changes

The more that it stays the same

A fiery sun  

A sphere that bursts

through cold clouds and wet rain

Light dances on raindrops

A spectrum of colours

A sun-shower

Our mood is our weather vane

One image
One moment
One event in the day can change everything

We are immersed all the way

This time it is the real thing

I will be in the same mood forever

Then life happens

Now I realize that

My mood is like the weather

I try to live for the moment
I also learn from the past
And plan for the future

And plan for the future
*
I try to savour the moment
Sometimes it pays to look back
It helps with our future

It helps with our future
*
There should always be good times

Make a stage for always
*
Look back to think of good times
Find something to savour
Some days we may pay for
Take on days always
And make plans for way more
*
If we are having them now
It all happens fast
When we feel strong at the core
We will make it last
*
I strive to live for the moment
While I understand the past
And work for the future

Work for the future
*
I like to reach for the moment
It can be a real good catch
It holds all our future

All of our future

There should always be good times

Live for now and always

***

Frozen like progress

That our cold behaviour steals

A hard icy pathway

Let us just be real

It crunches with our hard steps

And slides so fast we feel

Life gets slick as oil

No matter who is at the wheel

*

Don’t lose too much potential

Just learn a better way to deal

*

Burning like passion

That they will never steal

A fiery energy is totally real

It explodes with each heart beat

When it gets up high we feel

It is so hot, it boils   

Intensity is part of the deal

*

Then we can’t get any further

‘cause we are locked in our tracks

We can’t close our minds

And lose all the facts

*

Instead, unlock our success

By being strong and smart

Hot or cold, we toil

Cool minds only win with our hearts

*

There will be nothing to take back

We are together from the start

Take life to the max

*

Our potential is off the charts

***

The freak show is real

So what is the deal?

Do you still feel nice?

What is your vice?

And how is life going to feel?

*

Masquerade appeal

An image we steal

Don’t cross the line

We still have time

And now we should learn to heal

*

Monsters and angels

Not just in appearance

But down to the bone

Deep in the soul

*

They can have you and hold you

Free you and be you

Save you     Young or old    

We must be bold

*

Our mind and time seal

This every day deal

Keep hope in sight

Strong spirits fight

And now life is much more real

*

Heroes and villains

In more than appearance

But not etched in stone

See how we roll

*

Time can grab you and hold you

Free you and be you

Save you    Young or old

Or turn cold

We dig dirt or gold

***

***

Be the most

And never low

*

Staying close 

To all we know

*

On our toes

Everywhere we go

And never compromising

**

Grandiose?

We go with the flow

*

Superimposed

I will let you know

*

Words that I chose

I still follow

Not unfairly criticising

**

Don’t rush too much

To find conclusions

Any assumption

Can be an illusion

*

Don’t just jump out on any limb

There is a safer way to win

Understand if we can find agreement

It is an improvement

Worth believing 

**

Stand front row

At every show

*

Rock and roll

So fast

And then just coast

*

Watch our own ghost

Totally engrossed

Listen close to souls advising

**

Then stay in touch

To find conclusions

With pure devotion

Hard-earned amusement 

*

Light on our work should not be dim

There is a better way to win

Connect with empathy

to share more freedom

It is an improvement

Worth believing 

***

***

Generate the future

By moving and reacting

Setting goals with careful thought

Consideration and planning

*

Face adversity achieving

What we set out to do

We always do get there

From more than one point of view

*

Believe in our destination

Nurture a dream’s understanding

Capture reality

To give us more gravity

Something to live for

*

Amid all of the challenges

We charge forward

Like the second hand on a clock

or a locomotive juggernaut

**

Charging up every moment

Improving it by grasping

Meaning rolls with focused causes

Concentration everlasting

*

Embrace challenges succeeding

Adapting through and through

We really must get there

For a world that is brand new

*

Create a path to our fate now

Burgeon from where we are standing

Factor in anything

to give us more of everything

Something to live for

*

Within all the circumstances

We push forward

Like a wave rolling into shore

Or earthquakes

Shaking the whole world’s core

**

The future is set in stone

But just from one perspective

In another light it is fluid

Ever moving and swirling

With our breath running through it

*

Focus on one life now

All that can be shown

We are never alone

*

Generate the future

A world we are impacting

Structure time and place

With your grace, a better place

Something to live for

***

Open our eyes

Remove the disguise

Everybody knows     We have to be wise

To see like the sky

*

Speak to my ear

If trouble is near

Everybody knows       It is best not to fear

But hear people clear

*

Like  Help Out   When we can

By making a plan

And taking a stand

Before it gets out of hand

*

Open my heart

To science and art

Everybody knows

I try to be smart

Love right from the start

*

Open my soul

Find out all my goals

Everybody knows

How fast the good times roll

We don’t have to be told

*

Raise hell when we can

By making a plan

And taking a stand

Work hard,  Play hard

Draw our line in the sand

Fashion sold

It’s what the rage is

Money sets the bar   For all new crazes

*

Uncool soul    Society hazes

Soon they’re seeing stars

With their heart’s new blazes

*

Hot or cold     We have our stages

We are never far      From brand new phases

**

Hold in your heart    Much more room for caring

Differences make us

Similarities

We are Sharing

*

Don’t look away

Because they don’t have enough

Even it up

Or just don’t be too rough

There’s good reason for

for sharing

It helps us build better stuff

To become more aware

We need peace and love

**

Fashion gold

It’s what the rage is

Try to set a bar

That everyone praises

Each cool soul        Goes through the paces

We are never far     From brand new phases

Real time truth

Is so confused

Unless we start to be objective

*

Ways to soothe

Are what I choose

But views of health

can be selective

*

Some other people’s

health may be ill

and there is nothing I can do

So I do things

in my own best interest

Until there’s a fair chance

to reach out to you

**

Real time truth

Is under-used

Until we start to be objective

*

Ways to soothe

That we should choose

Can be for health

But too subjective 

*

Another person’s

health may worsen

Yet there is nothing that I do

Until I do everything

in my power

And take the best chance

to reach out to you

**

Real time truth

The actual news

Not filtered through

the biased lenses

*

If ways to soothe

are what we choose

We should not be so

apprehensive

*

Many more people’s

health could be well

and there is something we can do

If we do things

in everyone’s interest

and take

every chance

To reach out for you

***

I want to know

Is this exciting?

Free days ahead

No one is fighting

We can relax and

Soak in the sunshine

Or play in the rain

We will not be strained

**

You want to know

What I’ve been planning

Weekend ahead

We are still standing

We can relax

And have a good time

Get ahead of the game

Fan our good love’s flame

**

The weekend is here and

Our bodies are ready

Our souls are

strong from eternity

*

Some days to ourselves

A break from the battles

Now our minds

are all working free

While the world turns to be

Always earning you and me

**

I want to know

Is this exciting?

We get ahead

The path is lighting

We can relax and

Warm in the cool fire

Brilliant stars in our brain

The moon is full again

**

It is the long weekend at last and

Our bodies are ready

Our souls are strong from eternity

***

Ice storms occur

When we are on top of the world

Our craft

Our skill

The works

What we design ourselves

Has become as cold as hell

It is not hard to tell

When success goes to our head

We are still genuine

But we might just seem to forget

Frozen here instead

It seems like we just don’t care

And chivalry is dead

**

Fire storms occur

Because we sabotage the Earth

Our haste

our waste

Our works

We lost control ourselves

Now it is as hot as hell

Our soul we had to sell

So they leave us here for dead

Never crossing the line

And we will never ever forget

Burning here instead

It seems like they still don’t care

And the fire’s blazing red

**

Oceans of emotion

We have been down so long

Now we are coming up for air

I hope we all get along

I hope we all get along

I hope we all get along

*

Remember our devotion

To one person place or thing

Open up to the others

Try to connect and sync

With more effort

Treat all the world better

Avoid erosion

Stop and think

Of the emotion

The focus

And over-all climate

that it brings

**

Rain storms occur

One thing defines the world

Our life

Our breath

The works

We have immersed ourselves

And become as cool as hell

We climb out of our shell

Reaching out is a safe bet

It will be just fine

If we just refuse to forget

*

To soak in the sunset 

It seems like most people care

And the rain is heaven sent

Rummaging through my grey cells

For something to save the world

Or at least my part of it

With best of intentions

I have to be absolutely sure

To get my fill

Think out loud about your cure

In my corner of the world

**

Barreling through my cognitions 

Towards something to save my world

Or someone to connect to

With less apprehension 

I must be one hundred percent sure

To be super chill

We work together for the cure

With our connection to the world

Thinking about the situation 

Some will look right past

The more involved

The more attention

The more we seem to last

Rushing past

we may have to escape

Standing strong

If we are really great

We do something

just to help the world

Think of

ways to demonstrate

*

Cause a smile

Ease the pain

Organize the situation

For more health

in the future and today

*

In the future and today

**

Crashing through my cortex

With something to save the world

Or at least my part of it

With best of intentions

I have to be absolutely sure

We have to get our fill

And think out loud about a cure

In our space and time and our world

Plugging into vast resources

Here, the moment

Never grows old

Time expands all of it’s forces

Like a volcano

we are rock and rolled

Get your power

Get your power

Now

Now

Now or

Take the next chance you get

We have got the daytime

We have got the night

We have got the darkness

We have got the light

Get what you need

Now is not gone

Let’s take the lead

Get your power

Get your powet

Now

Now

Now and forever

Decide what’s wrong or right

Heading fast into the heat

Freezing up if life turns cold

Strength gives us goals to reach

Certain power comes from

what we are told

Charging fast at the station

Power around us is

Bought and sold

Rising up

from creation

Energy in our eyes

shines like gold

Get your power

Get your power

Now

Now

It’s now or never

Decide what fight to fight

Shining on the wall

Sun rays in the hall

Just as the door opens

The sun starts to fall

Chasing all our dreams

Busting at the seams

Reaching for a new goal

And many more sunbeams

*

When we hit the roof

We still need proof

Living for the moment

They know we have the moves

**

Here in this place

We can’t always chase our dreams

Unless we can’t

See them

Feel them

Prepare to face the heat

*

We have to

Free them

Heal them

Envision them complete

*

Have a way to balance success

Use our time to promote more peace

Share benefits for all of the rest

Our dream holds

All of our life

All of life

Let’s understand the theme

**

Climbing up the walls

Running down the halls

Looking through the window

When the ceiling falls

 *

Chasing our dreams

Better off in teams

Reaching for a new goal

It’s much more than it seems

*

We are on the roof

They still ask for proof

Living in the moment

So we make our move

**

In this time and place

We can only chase our dreams

So we should

Hear them

Feel them

Flow with them  

And set the beat

*

We have to

Prepare them

Share them 

Choose what’s best to believe

*

Here’s a way to balance success

Use our life to promote more peace

Share benefits with all the rest

Our dream holds  

All of life     

All of life

Let’s improve every angle of this scene

***

We live in an intricate dream

It becomes our daily life

It is all that we can see

*

We live in a subjective reality

It is all that we can feel

We can work to be free

Just get through pain to heal

But nightmares can be real

If we develop fear and anxiety

*

Breathe deep    Breathe free

Strive for health

Find peace

Keep the day moving

Choose every belief

**

Either way

We make our way

Through dreams and reality

The further we get

The more that we feel

Balance for a better day

Only we can make it that way

Take care with what we believe

*

Think deep   Think free

Strive to be well

Find peace

Help the day to soothe

Choose every belief

*

We live in an intricate dream

We perceive our daily life

It is all that we believe

***

Sideways looks

Show off sideways angles

Life can have different tangles

Some are sweet

And some are sour

Life has flavours that overpower

*

Look again

Before you devour

Time must be ready

So, check the hour 

**

Forward language

Spells out forward progress

Life can pull back

in fast protest

Some is sweet

And some is bitter

Love can be a heavy-hitter

*

Say it again

Your words we devour

Listen so steady

It gives us power

**

It will be okay

When we work together

Life can become great

Our Earth will stay

**

Uplifting care

Creates uplifting spirit

Life needs

More strong support near it

Some are sweet

And some are salty

A true love is never faulty

*

Caring again

Past pain that devours

Find spirit steady

Inspiration showers

**

Backwards thinking

Leads to backward actions

Life needs logic

To get traction

Some is sweet

And some is sweeter

Life needs

more honest leaders

*

Think again

With insight devour

The world is ready

Good sense must tower

**

It will be alright

When we work together

It will be fine

the sun will shine

***

I am a stranger to you

And that’s a danger to me

There is no way to get through

With what I have to say

*

There’s no way to share

What would benefit us both

There’s no way you will care

And you will never know

*

While I think I’m so smart

There is much more to learn

Like how to climb up to your fire

Without getting burned

**

You are a higher up

And I’m a further down low

There’s no way to get past that

So I have no where to go

*

There’s no way to share

While we’re in the same boat

I am much more aware

But you will never know

*

Though we think we are smart

There is much more to learn

Like how can strangers be trusted

And how can we share this world?

**

There is much more to learn

We have a universe

Packed with stuff

And sometimes

We can

Perfectly understand it

*

I can understand based

On what we all know

And from being pulled

Through life by an undertow

*

Strange what we learn

When it’s all for show

And then we learn what we learn

When we are getting down low

Or while we just make it through life

And go with the flow

**

I am a stranger to you

And that’s a danger to me

There is a way to get through

That’s what I have to say

*

It’s not exceedingly rare

But it benefits us both

it takes both of us to care

To bring solutions close

*

There’s a clear way to get smarter

And a clear way to learn

If we know strangers enough

Their perspective is observed

***

Longing for the sunrise

Clouds swarm the horizon

While I writhe

Beneath the sea

I’m in a stormy dream

That only I have eyes on

*

Deepest darkest fears

A crow reaches my ears

My eyes flutter open

Into this new sky’s dawn

*

No way to forget the night’s long

And hidden turmoil

Until the Raven’s cry’s done

**

Super connection

We make life happen

Across the changing sky

Because we see

Eye to eye

*

Intense connection

When peace finds protection

*

Black thunder clouds roll by

Forgotten riverbeds are dry

Kind darkness starts to cry

New current rises higher

We make life happen

And across the world we find

Life begins to thrive

Now we feel alive

**

Stretching for new truth

And the end to illusion

While I prove

Everything I see

I find reality

By embracing the new sun

*

Highest brightest gears

When thick clouds start to clear

From blue to sun’s explosion

Into a brilliant fusion

*

No way to forget the new song, lighting up the shadows

Now we get our groove on

**

Super connection

We make life happen

Embrace the shaking Earth

We hold tight

For all it’s worth

Now our days arrive

*

Super connection

We make life happen

Calm the raging sea

We find

Everything we need

*

Intense connection

When peace finds protection

*

Icy mountaintops now gleam 

Cold creeks form a stream

Kind forests starts to breathe

New seasons share our needs

We make life happen

And across the world we feel

Life becoming real

*

We wake up from a dream

Just to find another

A nightmare becomes history

A kind world will be discovered

***

Splashing lights

Visions appear in the vast sky

Flashing like apparitions

Trying to catch our eye

Our mirror surprises

Constantly changing in the sea

No matter where we look

it’s always you and me

We build ourselves up to the blue skies

While all our thoughts are crashing

The past falls

The present trembles

The future waits

looking smashing

**

Clashing insights

Conflicts obscure our fair sky

We grasp for wild predictions

Hoping to ease our mind

Our fear can hide like

Pressure at the depths of the sea

No matter where we search

it’s down with you and me

We build ourselves up like storm clouds

Subconscious waves now crashing

The past thirsts

The present quenches

The future waits for the last drop splashing

**

When I feel the wind quickly rushing

The sky inspires me

I let my spirit fly higher

All through the day

and at night when I dream

The sea invites me all the way

Then I dive deep down to the depths where I stay

*

When I feel the earth in fact pushing

What’s best inspires me

I help my spirit climb higher

In every way

I build up my dream

Faith defines my world every day

As I rise rapid reaching for the surface that’s safe

*

Now To make a difference

Shine the light and

Refresh the way

Build tomorrow up to the sky

And stayed inspired

Build ourselves up

Especially for today

**

Passion’s heights

Our mission

Stays strong in the fast sky

We cast for smart decisions

Aim to connect to what is right

But more tears still find us

Rising higher

Filling up the sea

No matter where we stand

it’s up to you and me

We build ourselves up like history

Eternal waves are crashing

The past calls

The present catches

The future waits as the storm is passing

***

I’d reach out to you

But I’m all tied up

The world is so demanding

Villains can’t get enough

Why can’t they cut me some slack

On this railroad track?

Seems to be a misunderstanding

And the train is coming back

*

The wheels are spinning round

Sparks fly with squealing sounds

I lie here with only words

Tightly chained, so neatly bound

While the source of my situation

Simply can’t be found

*

My sinister captor laughs

Shaking solid ground

Just as an unsuspecting hero

crosses the tracks to go to town

Arrives in a small window

Looking back 

And I’m found

**

I’d reach out to you

But I’m on another plane

No dimensions withstanding

No pain is a huge gain

We can’t ever look back

But who’s keeping track

Those hypocrites are underhanded

We’re still on the tarmac

*

When the wheels start spinning round

Engines sound like a growling hound

We reach the sky with words

There’s a sheer climb to resound

When we care, we rise higher

New altitude is found

*

Our internal pilot plans

So we are never falling down

An optimistic soul we show

Imagination tightly wound

Peace arrives

And love will flow

Flying higher

World-renowned

**

If I leave I will return

From the far side of a lake

Ringing bell brings me back

I am flat-out on the track

Thunder starts the race

Raindrops stay in their lanes

Driving to our headspace

Our visions stay intact

A choice we had to make

A chance we had to take

The echo calling our name

Into a better day

**

Are you reaching out to me

Now that I am on the road

I can’t answer right now

I have got a heavy load

Can you wait for a while?

Maybe just another mile

There’s a shoulder ahead

And I’ve got you on speed dial

*

Now my head is spinning round

Waiting for the ringing sound

I drive fearlessly with words

That I can’t say till we’re bound

Not till we connect together 

And heavy our hearts pound 

*

The winding road shares a story

And Our destination’s found

Perfect moments come and go

The road to home I’m heading down

Arriving like an echo

Everywhere the sound

***

Every day

We walk the fine line

Some moments are so easy

Other times just grind

But I don’t mind

I still work

for an outcome that’s pleasing

**

Every hour

We can design time

Some plans work out so easy

Other times just grind

I still try to be kind

And I work

for an outcome with reason

**

In another moment

Stress may reach us

I still try to feel fine

More of the time

**

Another moment

Stress may catch us

I still try to act fine

All of the time

**

Every day is our chance to shine bright

It might not seem that easy

But I don’t mind

I still try to be kind

And work for the outcome we’ve needed

**

In another moment

Stress can’t beat us

Good mental health finds

No matter the time:

Life can not defeat us

**

Every day we walk the fine line

Some moments are so easy

Other times just grind

But in my mind

Caring is all that is needed

***

The river of life

Holds gold and ice

Everyday look twice

Fortune in the pan flashes

*

Yesterday on fire

Not what we desired

In our dreams, Look twice

Through the smouldering ashes

Out of the grey

A new flame

Twists and thrashes

*

Like the questions of

The serpents of the river and fire

The future desire

Will ask us

**

What do you want?

What do you need?

How much will you pay?

And How much will you bleed?

How can you survive

and better yet succeed?

What do you want and

What do you need?

**

Delivered to life

Sold a cold price

Every day look twice

For your sale-day door-crashers

*

Tomorrow a buyer

By our fight inspired

In our dreams, Look twice

Through

downpours and dry patches

Out of the night

A new light

Storms and crashes

*

Like the motives of

The serpents and

the seller and buyers

The futures inspired

Will cash in

**

Snake in the road

The Curves of life that guide us

Twisting, turning episode

that invites and delights us

We lead or follow

down the hard path

And with vision follow through

It seems clear

With no fear

Our tongue tells lies or the truth

It’s for you to decide

A taste you cannot refuse

We are all slithering

It’s Where we are

It’s what we do

**

What do you want?

What do you need?

How much will you pay?

And How much will you bleed?

How can you survive

And then truly succeed?

What do you want and

What do you need?

**

The giver of life

Bold gold in the sky

Everyday look twice

The sun shines or rain lashes

*

Today climbs higher

To find what we desire

For our dreams, Look twice

Cool light drops down and splashes

Out of the grey

A bright day

No venomous clashes

*

Just the answers

To the serpent of

the rain, sun and sky

The immediate desire

Quickly flashes

***

Oh my

Inspired moments

Steady for many

Pushing to be coping

Ready for anything

Any emotion

*

Oh my

Guilty conscience

But I’ve done nothing

Except lie to myself

Like I could have done something else

**

Hold it there

These visions are hidden

You got to be kidding

Please tell me

What precisely

is your point of view?

**

Oh my

Desired moment

Working for many

It’s like no one knows it

As I try everything

With all my devotion

*

Oh my

Guilty pleasures

But I do nothing

Except care for my days

Like I should have done it any other way

*

“Hold on” you say

I’m unwittingly smitten

You have got to be kidding

Please tell me

How the Hell

Each day looks to you 

**

No innocence lost

In this life to dangers

Speaking my mind

To close friends and strangers

Clear or cloudy but pure

Cringy or courageous 

Catch the last thought

Then make your wagers

*

Breathe deeply

And bet if you must

The rage can rest

If in my truth you trust

But we will never get settled

Till we’re

Bones and dust

**

Oh my

Defining moment

Realistic to many

It depends how it shows up

I try to do something

Hold on to this notion

*

Oh my

Guilty as charged

I want nothing except your attention

Synergy could make such a difference

*

Hold on tight

To thoughts I have written

I must be kidding?

Please tell me

Oh my God

What else can I do?

***

Crazy world keeps on spinning around

It won’t stay the same

Till we hit the ground

Getting down low with

The grind we all know

I’ve been on my own

But I’m never alone

*

All our friends are in our head

Won’t ever leave

We’re Not better off dead

Open our eyes to get ahead

When the path is shown

We turn to stone

And roll until

Forever’s known

**

Feeling heavy

Wearing years of armour

Feeling steady

But setting off the alarm

And waking all the dragons dreaming

I want all of this world

And treasure gleaming

Now I’m out of this world

Trying to turn the other cheek

As I make it through the week

I begin to speak

But I am back in the dungeon again

**

Blazing world

keeps on bringing us down

It stays the same

When we’re on the ground

Getting down low with

The grind we all know

We may be on our own

But we are never alone

*

All our enemies are in our head

Won’t have to leave

We may want them dead

Open our eyes to get ahead

When a solution is shown

No sticks and stones

We stand until

Forever’s known

**

Feeling heavy

Knowing there’s a storm here

Feeling steady

Helping to stop harm here and

Healing all the dragons steaming

We can share all of this world

And treasure gleaming

Now I’m out of this world

Never bruise the other cheek

As I make it through the week

I begin to speak

Now we live in the dragon’s den

**

Amazing world

When winning is found

It’s always the same

When we hit the ground

Getting down low with

The grind we all know

Here we are on our own but

We will never be alone

*

All our thoughts are in our head

They never leave

No dreams are dead

Open our eyes to get ahead

When the river’s shown

We throw the stone

And sink until

Forever’s known

***

Working steady

I know you’re there

So aware

But I can’t really think about it

*

The space that separates us

Is not what it seems

It’s full of dreams

And we can never live without it

*

When I’m close to you

My energy is high

Every day me and you

Meet up in the sky

Every day we are together

Life is so much better

**

Playing hard

I know we’re there

And you care

And I just want to think about it

*

This place that creates us

Is just what it seems

It’s full of dreams

And we can’t even live without it

*

When I’m close to you

My energy gets high

Every day I’m knowing you

My love can never die

Every day we are together

Life is so much better

**

We all rise into forever

Or sink into the moment

We have the choice

whether or not

To embrace our life with passion

*

Logic and love

Go well together

Leading us further

Into a good life

*

Passion can come from our dreams

Not quite what it seems

Like hidden sunbeams

And winding forest streams

**

Living the life

You know we’re there

So aware

And I quite often think about it

***

Always sun rises

Each sky, new disguises

Wearing grey or blue

Sharing light

And the climate the day brings

*

Weather determines mood

At times, a rude awakening

Life has surprises

All the time

Like a storm or sunshine:

The next big breaking thing

*

Celebrations we find or

Battles ongoing

Pleasure and joy

Or troubles that ache and sting

*

Always love rises

Each high will entice us

Snaring me and you

Caring right

With the insight the day brings

*

Events determine mood

Thunder a new awakening

Lightning that guides us

All the time

Like a storm then sunshine:

The very next waking thing

*

Now is forever

We know the feeling

Find grace in the moment

In our core, as we’re dealing

*

Now is for ever

Hopefully healing

From the ground to the sky

From the floor to the ceiling

*

Find life in the moment

With caring caresses

Now is forever

Accept

Challenges

Not stresses

Choose what is best

Always every moment

***

The perfect storm

can seem

exceedingly normal

But in an instant

it can become

completely difficult

*

When thrown into the mix

It’s nothing you can’t fix

*

The driving force of my nightmare

Sifts for a good dream

With a twist

*

The source of my delight

Or the bane of my existence

When crashing down like this

*

I have never missed

*

A perfect storm

Can be totally unusual

But in an instant

It can become all reality

*

House of straw or wood or bricks

Pull no punches and no tricks

*

The pounding rain of darkest clouds

Shifts to gentle steam

When sun-kissed

*

A healing light eternal

Cleanses pain from existence

When reaching out like this

*

Releasing a clenched fist

*

All is calm    

Relax now

Roll with waves as they charge up

*

The perfect calm can seem exceedingly chill

Within instants

It can stretch out

Deep into forever

*

Still play hard and get our kicks

Work to get in all our licks

*

The soothing voice inside our head

Lifts us past each sun beam

You get the gist

*

Faith happens day or night

The main part of our existence

When chasing dreams like this

*

Every day we can find bliss

*

Perfect storm

Relax now

Roll with eternal waves

All is calm

Just ask how

Roll with waves as they charge

Surge with clouds

As they open

Crashing down

Till we are soaking

Crackling lightening

Silence broken

Thunder above

Clear words are spoken

*

An intense change of energy 

Arrives day or night

The calm we know first is

The breaking light

***

Awake to the world

with

Unpredictable reactions

And a focus closely tied

To our deepest dreams

*

Ideas 3-2-1

Launch spontaneous compassion

Compose what we do

Based on life’s pure mystery

*

Soaring high above

Well, crashing moments later

Life has highs and lows

If today is any indicator

**

Develop your good love

Focus makes life greater

Waves rolling high above

And crashing moments later

*

Running across the flat ground

And sinking into the sand once stretched-out

We search the earth for perfection

But it’s our dreams that we have planned out

*

Awake to the world

Awake to the world

**

Awake to the world

with a

Ground-breaking reaction

And a focus closely tied

To our deepest dreams

Ideas 3-2-1

Launch spontaneous compassion

Elevate what we do

Based on life’s pure empathy

*

Riding high above

Storm crashing moments later

Life has calm and chaos

If today is any indicator

**

Develop your good love

Life is a rushing breaker

Waves rolling high above

And crashing moments later

*

Washing over the dry shores

Then reaching to the sea with their hands out

Waves change when energy transfers

A new day once our dreams have fanned out

*

Awake to the world

Awake to the world

Awake to the world

Like a natural reaction

And a focus closely tied to our deepest dreams

**

Plan the day ahead 

With a good attitude

Focus on your dreams

And remember what is new

*

As the tides recede

Take all that you need

And share good vibes with

Everyone you can think of

Awake to the world

Floating and anchored

In the midst of a channel

A network to generate

Years of energy

Lifetime is building up

It helps when the plan gels

A connection to include

The insight of many

*

We flounder if unheard and

We can sink unseen

The sound of the bottom

A call progress must heed

Rocks on the river bed

Need to be handled

Each step anticipate

Fluid energy

Lifetime is lining up

Sure ground is spanned out

The connection we choose

Can affect so many

We wallow if unsure and

We may drown if fractured

Care for the bottom

We must manufacture

Work for the river

Work to stream dreams

Listen to the ones you love

With no one in between

Work to share dreams

Look out for the ones you love

With no one in between

Fully charged

Feel the feeling of all involved 

Take care and share

Be open to a lot more

And start living smart

Hear the sound all around

Open up to the rock bottom

Of your giving heart

Coasting way past shore

Turning wheels:

You won’t stand still

A future to generate

Pure life energy

Lifetimes supplying

Freedom that’s planned out

A connection we can’t lose

We’re counting on so many

We wind down if unheard

We wash away unseen

Bump the bass

To unburden the bottom

And build it into our dreams

Fully charged

Feel the feeling of all involved 

Take care and share 

Live life large

Open up to all the world

Open to the rock bottom

Of your giving heart

* This is one of the first lyrics I wrote, written in the late 1980’s or early 90’s. I did some revisions recently and have the guitar ready to go for my next podcast…. Dark but with ideas of brightness.

***

Sky is endless black and

The Stars are forever bright

My eyes fill with fire

Burning in the night

A Dancing demon

or a Singing angel

These timid strangers lead to unseen dangers

*

My mind drifts deep

As I close my eyes tight

My body falls asleep

As I’m pulled into the night

Spirits fly high

But my body waits below

I fight to free my soul

With everything I know

*

We use our love to conquer all fear

We have gained control

 so We are safe here

Now we lie awake

 but our dreams seem real

The sun

the moon

the Stars

All bare our seal

*

Sky is endless black

And the stars are forever bright

My eyes fill with lights like fire

Burning in the night

Dancing demons

or Singing angels

These timid strangers lead to our greatest changes

*

My mind journeys deep

As the Visions glow in the light

My body

I can’t keep

as I’m pulled into the night

Rivers run high and

Flames burn far below

I fight to raise our souls

 with everything I know

***

The view that I maintain is born with me and the world

A no-name knock-off

I know just about nothing

But when we put our heads together

Oysters holding wise pearls

Beauty in our vision

And grit in our Soul

*

Share the sands of time

Exploring Land so fine

Sea and Sky forever

Achieve every breath

*

It’s easy to scrutinize

it’s not fair to capsize me

They should really know by now

I aim to do my best

Anxious moments

Melt into acceptance when we get well

I’d like to prove to you that I can pass every test

*

Hold onto empathy

As we look past to the bottom line

Don’t let a few nerves

Unravel all the rest

*

Believe Believe

Achieve every breath

Achieve nothing less

Than our absolute best

*

From conception to

Our dreams, we are that which we imagine

The view of society

Determines how they grow

I will hold my confidence

in the heart of my dense brain

And keep myself connected

To life’s ebb and flow

*

The view of myself is born with me and the Earth

As Sunshine Superstars

We are all something certain

And when we put our heads together

Trees shimmering with mirth

Beauty in our vision

And for life’s every worth

*

Share the branches of time

Exploring Land so fine

Sea and Sky forever

Achieve every breath

*

It’s easy to criticize me

But it’s not fair to penalize me

They should really know by now

I aim to do my best

Toxic moments

Melt into acceptance when we get well

I’d like to prove to you

Accidents made the mess

*

Hold onto empathy

and Look past to the bottom line

Don’t let a few safe swerves

Cause me to fail the test

*

Believe Believe

Achieve every breath

Achieve nothing less

Than our absolute best

*

From conception to

Our Dreams

Are all that we can imagine

The view that we share

Determines how they grow

Let us hold confidence

in the Soul of our dense brains

and keep ourself connected

To Life’s cosmic flow

***

Focus on connection

Feel thoughts we share together

Make life better by joining to care more

*

I can’t tell you

How much we need your vision

I must say for a better world

We should all see eye to eye

Smoke obscures connection

Hides who we really are

No time to make it clear

We don’t get very far

*

We find the fire

And feel the heat

Soak in the bright flame

Contained by the beat

*

Smoke clears with time

Rises far above us

So clear in my mind

The sky starts to love us

**

Focus on connection

Feel thoughts we share together

Make life better by joining to care more

Focus on connection

Join to care more

*

I can’t tell you

How much I need your vision

I must say for a better world

We should both see eye to eye

*

Spoken connection

Can last into forever

Lucidity an endeavor

We work to make it clear

*

With kindness to take us far

*

Connected to the wire

Calmly we speak and

I invoke your name

Plainly ask what we need

*

Woke dreams are kind

And won’t push and shove us

So clear in our mind

Our world tries to love us

**

Focus on connection

Feel thoughts we share together

Make life better

by joining to care more

Focus on connection and

Join to care more

*

I can’t tell you

How much we need your vision

But for a better world

We should all see eye to eye

Pathways

Ever-present desire to succeed and challenge,

Fragments of time hang on the nervous door hinge,

In the skies there is a fiery orange,

In the brain, in the mood, in the path,

*

Consequential change of the integrated feeling,

Brings a far-fetched mood that sends me reeling,

Enduring trance set by the cosmic dealing,

Just from proof, of a move, in the path,

*

In the rising travel to find what dreams yield,

Synchronicity is uplifting,

In the vast expanse of this energy field,

The ground is ever-shifting:

*

Shifting shapes in the rain, rising up to the sky,

Misty memory reflects all that you think,

And I think if I fall I will surely:

Dive deeper, into this massive mental landscape,

.*

Border dreams, real as rock,

Where’s the path?

Gridlock,

Shaking heads, shaking thoughts,

Can’t get through gridlock

Gridlock

*

Saturate the idol with a figment of power,

And you will find a fate-changing flower,

Iridescent lights in the sixty-watt shower,

Creating strength, in the groove, in the path,

*

Confirmation of an intriguing notion,

Visions that lure an unreal emotion,

Diligent work spent on devotion,

Such a waste, fail to cross, to a new path,

*

In minute thoughts we process and explore,

Infinite possibilities passing,

With immaculate balance I reach for the door,

But still I find myself grasping:

*

Grasping leaves as I run, as fast as I am free,

Factual forest, reflects all that you think,

And I think if I fall I will surely

Dive deeper, into these firmly grounded beliefs,

*

Waking dreams, real as rock

There’s the path:

Gridlock,

Shaking hands – shake in shock,

Must get through:

Gridlock,

Peace of mind from lucid talk,

Flowing through

Gridlock

Gridlock.

You won’t know what you’ve got until you get inside

No, you won’t know a thing past the day and night

Wake up into our eternal home

We’re on our own, but not alone

You won’t know what you’ve got until you get inside

No, you won’t know a thing until you’ve been and tried

Wake up into the great unknown

Thoughts are the wealth, found all alone

Eyes looking at me like they knew something

Looking at me with some kind of offering

Wise and kind guide may take your hand

Present a solution, save all of this land

Conceive it, if you can

Believe in, a master plan

Conceive it, it’s all been planned

Understand

Look to the skies above, the clouds are boiling

If God’s looking down, why are we still toiling?

Wake up into our eternal home

Into this place we all are thrown

The fair earth below and the weather’s rising

We need rest, it is so compromising

Walking through thoughts made of stone

The energy within us, seldom shown

You’re looking at me as if I’m insane

You can’t be right, and I can’t explain

Try real real hard, to figure things out

Feelings bottle up, think away doubt

(with spirit)

What are you looking for?

what are you looking for?

You’ll Find it right outside your mind’s back door

The fair earth is below, media hypnotizing

We crave the sun, it’s not surprising

Walking through thought, we must atone

The energy within us waits to be shown . . .

Follow inside into insight
