Under the weight of the day

It can feel either way:

An iceberg above us

Offering no chance to scramble up

When the truth won’t love us

Without an unprecedented melt

On the other hand we rest well

under the ideal weight of a warm quilt

Perfect for keeping us

Safe and calm

Like sun shining through in the morning

**

By the light of the day

It happens just this way

The sun above us

Offering a chance to climb to the top 

When the new day loves us

With a bright and blinding glory

But from some angles we see clearly

In the surreal light of a true story

Perfect for keeping us

Curious and keen

Like events planned for this afternoon

**

Our world is on fire

But I’m frozen in ice

All time

burns fiercely in some ways

As we melt in plain sight

*

Flowing into rolling oceans

And forever-moving skies

These are the clear ways we exist

And climb to new heights

*

You mean more to me

Than the sun and the moon

The truth comes to light

As each hour moves

**

We make the most of the day

There’s no other way

The vast sky above us

Offering a chance to rise all the way up

Sometimes the world loves us

Like a gusty and engaging breeze

Asking us to fly and saying please

We learn from this love most

We won’t burn or freeze

Perfectly keeping us

Fresh and cool

Like moon shining through in the evening

**

Our world catches fire

But I’m frozen in ice

All time

burns fiercely in some ways

As we melt in plain sight

*

Flowing rivers of devotion

And forever-supporting skies

These are clear ways we can exist

And climb to new heights

*

You mean more to me

Than the sun and the moon

The truth comes to light

As each hour moves

***

The light is brighter now

The day came much faster

Always on the horizon

Every hour surprising

Right now

And forever after

*

We follow love around the Earth

With it’s magnetic charm and contagious laughter

I don’t know if it will ever be the same

But that doesn’t really matter

**

The light is brighter now

The sky is my master

Always something to write on

Each inspiration surprising

Before

And forever after

*

We follow love around the sky

With it’s heavenly charm

and existence far past Earth

I don’t know if it will always be the same

It’s our head space that really matters

**

Yoy know you really

brighten up the room

Extinguish any

sense of impending doom

Like the sun

Turning the night into day

Or the moon

leading us thru darkness

Sharing a bright new pathway

Any time at all

We are here to stay

*

When we find

the light at every angle

Every angle turns out okay

**

The light is brighter now

The end is no disaster

Always an eye on Orion 

All starlight surprising

Once more

And forever after

*

We follow love around space and time

With it’s endearing charm

and intricate patterns

I don’t know if it’s exactly the same

But it’s right at the heart of the matter

And then forever after

**

You know you really

Erase all the gloom

Deliver us from any sense of impending doom

Like the sun

Turning the night into day

Or the moon

leading us through darkness

Sharing a bright new pathway

Through all time

We are here to stay

*

When we find

Light from any angle

Our angle in time

will never fade

***

Another time

Another place

I still remember your face

*

Loving since the day we met

Never disproportionate

Because our eyes

Are filled with stars

And we wish for all the best

And then again here we are

Circling Venus and Mars

No matter

when or where we started

All signs are

we will keep going very far

And we are kindhearted

**

Here we are right now

We all share this place

I’m glad we all call this world

home-base

*

Loving since

The day we met

Tender care is our safe bet

Because our skies

Are filled with stars

And we wish for all the best

Then  for sure

Here we are

Souls stay near

Minds never far

No matter

When or where we started

All signs are

That life will flow

Either soft or hard

Better if we stay kindhearted

**

We race for this place

Then we’re all back

where we started

Moving fast is okay

If it’s done with grace

Moving slow is

Sometimes so much smarter

At the same time

Either way

We can grow that much farther

When we all learn to

Stay more

Truly openhearted 

**

This is our time

Keep up the pace

With all

the days we have to face

*

Loving since the day we met

A connection we

Won’t forget

We wear no disguise

We are the stars

And we wish for all the best

And then for real

Here we are

Earth has left the door ajar

No matter

When or where we started

All signs are

The world can’t close our minds behind bars

If we break on through

Kindhearted

***

Distinct changes in the day

Connect to events

Along the current way

And everything we say

*

Sometimes we can take it in our stride

Sometimes it just blows our mind

*

I’m still standing

I’m okay

Connect to every raindrop

And each sun ray

And every game we play

*

Whether we seek change

or try to hide

Events bring new frames of mind

**

Distinct stages of the night

Connect to events

Within the current light

And everything’s alright

*

Sometimes we seem to have it made

When our day’s fears start to fade

*

I’m wide awake

Feeling fine

Connect to each star above

And all of time

And to all that’s on my mind

*

A new stage aligns

I contemplate

Events create

A new design today

**

At this stage of the game

We try to find better times

Whether or not

We feel okay

or feel totally fine

or feel better than ever

And with peace of mind

When we’re

Planning an outstanding future

We get there with patience and climb

Gratitude can be the name of the game

It can change all of time

**

We’re in the mood

Take us to the next level

Gratitude helps us rise

Like water in a kettle

Steam billowing

Raindrops collect on a petal

*

Our world is like metal

Shaping our days

A kind mission

helps us to settle

Our attitude in good ways

We rise to a better level

In all that we do

If we work with the current

We will make it through

**

Distinct ranges in our years

Connect to events

Spinning current gears

And everything that’s near

*

Sometimes we just go with the flow

Sometimes work is all that we know

*

I am good to go

That’s quite clear

Connect to a vast machine

And face my fears

Embrace each joy

Living here

*

If just out of range

Help the signal grow

Events connect

New engines glow

*

Sometimes we can take it all in our stride

Sometimes events will soothe our mind

***

Beyond the clouds

Can I have a moment of peace?

It’s the triple whammies

that just won’t cease

I guess three times is lucky

And three’s a charm

It could be a strike out

Not quite a five alarm

*

When I wake up

I have a whole new view

As waves roll in

The day stays true

A breath is the best thing

The sky’s always blue

**

Clobbered again

Can I have a good moment that lasts?

It’s the triple attacks

that won’t let me relax

I guess some things come in threes

And three’s the max

It could turn into a crowd

Get out the five-star tracks

*

When I get down

I have a whole new view

As waves roll in

Energy stays true

A deep breath is the best thing

Peace comes into view

**

A number is like science

Even or odd

With mixed defiance

But a number

Just like one pure need

Can be like a fine art too

*

I wish there was no violence

And with fair rules:

Total compliance 

I can’t stay in silence

Superstition

And geometry

can be so misconstrued

**

A triangle has strength

Not a star by any length

But the parts build an alliance

Into a brilliant power

A pure.view

*

When we break it down

Or when we get into it

Stars are far

But the sky’s the limit

And the ground and Earth

Become our sure truth

*

Don’t let our hope fade

Keep our faith in it

Follow numbers and words

That help our world soothe

**

Not a broken record

Please no more moments to skip

It’s the triple big hits

that are giving me fits

I guess three can be holy

And three’s not a myth

Crank the volume three times as loud

I’m not taking the fifth

*

When I am on the level

I have a whole new view

As waves roll in

My days stay true

A breath is the best thing

And when feelings improve

***

It’s cool

I found you first

Then you wanted my attention

*

It’s true

We are immersed

In every new dimension

*

With no apprehension

I say, “We will always be okay”

Because we make it through together

And we find the better way

*

It’s new

But it’s rehearsed

It’s something that you mentioned

**

Love we have

All this time

Is worth the world

Stays yours and mine

We will never fall behind

Because we don’t cross the line

*

We work to be less harming

Not normally alarming

Striving to be purely charming

Even tough days become disarming

**

Your move

It’s your turn first

I can’t help but pay attention

*

It’s true

The crowd has dispersed

And the room has a new dimension

*

With no apprehension

I say, “We will always be okay”

Because we make it through together

And we find the better way

*

It’s new

And it’s unearthed

Our foundation

Did I mention?

**

Love we have

All this time

Is worth the world

Stays yours and mine

We are together by design

We are two souls that combine

 *

We work to be aware

Not easily fooled or scared

Striving to make it a fair world

Tough days turn out fine because we’re sharing

**

You are smooth

I chose you first

I’m paying close attention

*

It’s true

There is nothing worse

Then entering tough dimensions

*

With no apprehension

I say, “We will always be okay”

Because we make it through together

And we find the better way

*

It’s always new

Like a cloudburst

A fresh rain

Releases tension

**

Love we have

All this time

Is worth the world

Stays yours and mine

Together we always stay so fine

Whether rain pours down or bright sun shines

***

Flustered?

We must have

brought it on ourselves

The decision

To be who we are

in a cliquey world

*

I had no idea

We would be treated so unfairly

I use all of my best sense

Just trying to fit in

*

They can’t see

the history

that defines me

The clouds are just too dense

They will never know

unless we find the time

**

Busted?

We must have

been caught being ourselves

Take the chance we have

To be who we are

in a tricky world

*

I had no idea

That they would be so uncaring

I use all of my best sense

Just trying to help us

*

Some can’t believe

the history

that we need to see

The sun is way too intense

They will never know

unless we make the time

**

Will we get the time of day

Or will we be ignored?

Will we ever find the way

Or will they pull the cord?

*

Will we electrify them?

Is this circuit a dead short?

Will our plans work together

Will we connect to find support?

**

Rust and dust

With one wind gust

Will forever blow away

*

For lust they fuss

But with love we must

Find progress to save the day

**

Trusted?

We must have

taught it to ourselves

Find faith in health

To be who we are

in a sickly world

*

I had no idea

Their greed would be so overbearing

I use all of my best sense

Just trying to reach out

*

Some can’t conceive

From history

We can achieve peace

The world sits on the fence

They will never know

Unless we save the time

***

Topic4: *Communication*

Information transfer or exchange between two or more individuals.

I.e. Message is expressed, delivered and received.

Interpretation and reply?

Functional?

*

We have different levels of skill and ability to send and receive information.

Communication achieves intended goals when we’re understood as we would like to be.

**

We have varying ability to express, receive, understand and reply to succeed at communication.

We depend on the medium every day:

Public speaking

Performance

Art

Science

Small talk

Chat with friends

Written word

Print v. online

Interactive or not

Functionality depends on ability, medium and goals.

**

Goals.

What do we hope to accomplish with communication?

This can be an individual goal or a mutual goal.

We may be looking for understanding.

We may be looking for agreement and/or action, like a response.

Communication can seem successful from one perspective but not from another.

**

We may choose a medium but not have the ability to communicate effectively due to lack of skill in expressing and/or because the intended receiver has poor comprehension and/or the medium is too challenging.

Successful communication also comes from setting realistic goals for action or understanding.

**

In consideration of goals, it’s necessary to plan boundaries:  We don’t want to limit expression, but we should highly prioritise collective health and wellness in our consideration, for the benefit of ourselves and others.

Communication should maintain or improve quality of life.

**

If the goal of communication is to relay an accurate message, it’s useful to be as clear and defining as possible,

but remember more effort may be needed

such as repetition and reinforcement.

Some may have a hard time to comprehend & retain a message.

Others may have trouble expressing.

**

When urgency weighs in, boundaries may go out the window.

Some people have limited ability to control expression in urgency while others may not know how to react.

People may feel an urgent need to communicate, but others don’t see the reason for urgency and/or there is no good mutual reason.

8/

If we agree to communicate

it becomes easier.

We observe boundaries and find ways to share understanding.

One key boundary is established

but often crossed:

Don’t be harmful.

Communication can be harmful due to

* Intentional breach of duty

* Influence of social conventions

* Misunderstanding

* Accident

**

How to prepare to avoid harm

for ourselves and all others:

Look into it.

Take steps.

Always communicate to help;

A natural expectation

but if we reach out to consider all affected, it has a likelihood of creating more wellness, a better place to live and better communication moving forward.

Another day

I won’t ever change

I am who I am

I might be strange

But I’m caring

And I’m loving

With common sense

in my brains

*

The new day breaks

We all make mistakes

But every time

I put on the brakes

*

On a busy path

I see what’s above me

For health and wellness

Please just shove me

**

Another cold night

I don’t have to fight

But I am who I am

I might be light

But I am sturdy

And I’m worthy

With a sixth sense I hold tight

*

The fair moon rises

The stars advise us

And each time

The world is wiser

*

In a busy sky

I see what’s above me

For health and wellness

Please just love me

**

If I am in the way

Blocking night or day

It’s perfectly okay to say

“Get the Hell out of the way”

You can even push me

Hard across the sky

I won’t change

Though I may seem strange

Telling you the reasons why

Eventually I get to the peak

And I speak

Before I hide behind the world again

I see what’s above me

For health and wellness

Please just love me

**

Another day

I won’t ever change

I am who I am

I might be strange

But I am caring

And I’m loving

With common sense

Avoiding pain

*

The new day is brave

For good life we crave

Take the time

To hear us

rant and rave

*

On this cliff

I see what’s above me

For health and wellness

Please just shove me

***

All day

I am thinking

Like it or not

Imagination

Keeps me

Way deep in thought

*

But watch my reflexes

In my actions

My lucid gestures

Are getting traction

*

All the nerves are

Lightening fast

Like a machine driven

An engine blast

Digging deep into my mind

Triggers tweak and gears align

**

This time of day

I think about quite a lot

Imagination

Keeps me

So deep in thought

*

I have a calm balance

Of my emotions

With clear efforts of

Complete devotion

*

All of time is

Flying past

Like grey clouds rolling

While blue skies last

Flowing deep into my mind

Free energy

Comes from Spirit sky

**

Thinking of the moment

Built strong by the past

Thinking of the moment

The future gets here fast

*

If I seem to get lost in thought

Take a look again, I’m not

I’m way ahead of the game

The one that you made famous

I learned it yesterday

Tomorrow is so blameless

Today we give it all we’ve got

Just give it our best shot

**

Always

I am thinking

And I’m getting hot

Imagination

Keeps me

Deeper in thought

*

Just watch the results

Of my intention

Improving life

Is a fine obsession

*

All the fire

Gets higher with a blast

The charge of yesterday

Will be surpassed

Raging deep inside my mind

The wild world

And my brain combined

**

This is just a thought

Give it all we’ve got

*

Thinking of the moment

Built strong by the past

Thinking of the moment

The future gets here fast

*

Fire deep inside our mind

Present time

Imagination climbs and

Good thoughts can always last

***

Topic3: *Love*

In the hearts of many, love can be the most important thing in the world.

Is it?

In what definition?

*

It seems that the common idea of love is key to some of the very most important and enduring relationships in our life,

potentially giving us friendship, romance and joy.

**

There are different definitions of love.

This is mine:

Love: a powerful, often intense, binding feeling that we develop for someone or something that we are attracted to and want to share time with or at least have wishes of wellness for.

To me, well-wishes are essential to love.

**

My definition seems functional, boiled down to possible longing to spend time together and essential well-wishes.

To me intensity separates love from liking, where love involves more commitment to goals of sharing time and ensuring wellness, whereas ‘liking’ involves less dedication.

**

The distinction where desire to spend time together isn’t essential to love

but wishes for wellness are, seems clear. I.e. We can love all life and wish the best but not necessarily want to be with all life. Love in this sense reflects intense caring even in the absence of compatibility.

**

For me inclusion vitalizes this equation; Love should include general well-wishes for all.

Is Love the most important thing in the world?

That’s totally a perspective;

It seems likely that the more love and care there is to reduce harm and disdain, the better we will function together.

**

Functionality and Love?

To me, they go hand in hand.

Love involves caring, nurturing and protecting.

It can lead to cooperation, collaboration and joy. All the products of love and actions in love can help create a better quality of life. What could be more functional than that?

**

Sure love can go bad and hurt

in the sense of romantic love especially or in any loss of love or in unrequited love

but at least in the definition I maintain, general well-wishes and the powerful benefits should far outweigh the tough moments.

Love unites people more than it divides.

**

Heartbreak is awful but it is arguably better to have loved and lost than to never have loved at all.

The benefits of uniting so people live, work and achieve together, have joy together, logically helps in a direction to develop a better quality of life for everyone and everything.

**

To me, if love is the key to improving quality of life in the world, which it very well could be, then it is the most important thing in the world.

Love is about caring, inclusion, patience and affection.

If we love each other, we are working together for a better world.  ☮️&♥️

***

Topic2: *Belief*

Belief is our everything, how we understand and embrace it.

Does belief rule our world?

How do we change belief?

*

Our senses and logic bring us belief.  Genetics and physical constitution must contribute, but still, belief seems to be mainly a mental production.

**

Belief seems largely driven by our perception of the environment and our social learning.

*

We build beliefs by perceiving our universe, learning from our own studies and those of others.

*

We may built trust in a belief based on trust of our senses, our environment & our teachers.

**

How we interpret our senses and experience, our reason, also directly builds and supports our beliefs.

*

For each person each of these is without question different:

•life experience

•sense of reason

•location

•brain

•sensory organs

*

Naturally our beliefs are different.

**

 We face each day with a belief system that may or may not conflict with others around us.

How do we navigate this?

I often suspend disbelief (but still react to safety risks).

I remain agnostic about a subject to avoid conflict while I analyze data and to function socially.

**

Does belief rule our world?

Most of our actions occur because we are acting on our beliefs.

Seems obvious that we should be careful what we believe.

*

We learn what to believe.

Is it more important to learn how to believe?

Emphasis on verifying our senses & checking our reason?

**

We may form a belief and take care doing so but

What if some new contradictory evidence arrives?

and maybe the evidence is suggestive but not convincing.

How do we change belief?

We must be fully convinced in a new belief & reject the old belief, otherwise we are left uncertain.

**

In our life, we are often left uncertain, yet are still required to develop a belief regardless of the possibly confusing and changing data.

This is when society, especially our closest contacts and the media entities we follow, can really influence us.

Note: Verify our sources.

**

Beliefs can form from conscious decision, such as induction and inference, based on (perhaps inconclusive) evidence that’s also influenced by social suggestion and pressure.

Social influence like modern media can cause a decision to believe that isn’t totally conclusive.

Be careful.

**

Ultimately, belief changes with mounting evidence.

At a point, logical deduction concludes without question that new belief is true

because there appears to be no way it could be otherwise.

*

We are always learning;

Evidence drives belief;

Our senses & social input also determine belief.

***

Topic1: *Spirit*

Spirit has a powerful meaning in humanity, yet it is sometimes treated as nonsense or taken for granted.

Is it tangible?

In what definition?

*

To begin with: Can anyone deny that there is a connection that runs through everything?

It is everything.

There is a whole.

**

Sure, our consciousness seems to typically stick with our immediate environment and life experience, but in some sense we are connected to the farthest reaches of the universe or any multiverse for that matter.

We are one

to the best of my understanding 

with every possibility.

Everything.

**

How does spirit tie into all this?

Looking now,

I think spirit takes energy of the whole: a shared consciousness that connects forms or beings across environment, time and space. Tangibility depends on the individual circumstances; There are changing possibilities and perspectives.

**

I wanted to point out that different perspectives can confirm or deny spirit.

*

Some claim to know the absolute.

I might say that sometimes, there may be no such thing.

It’s about perspective right?

What we know is absolute?

Our brain is limited

But it has an angle all its own.

**

Paradox? 

Multiple experiences

opposing

overlapping

conflicting or existing in a moment when we’re either oblivious to other perspectives

or unable to humanly comprehend their existence

Yet I can clearly still be affected by something or someone even if it’s outside my paradigm.

**

Running with my definition of spirit as “connection” it becomes nonsense to people when they’re disconnected like if there’s limited tangibility.

Constantly running through different perspectives, different paradigms and comprehension-cancelling paradox,

some will never recognize spirit.

**

The fact is, spirit exists for some people and is not recognized by others.

*

It seems very tangible to me in specific instances when reality reaches out as in synchronicity.

*

I very often find a general presence like a good mood and attitude to connect to the wellness-driven whole.

**

So, for my definition, Spirit, in one sense as an apparently transcendental connection to our world and universe can be observable and influence mood.

This is tangible to me, but may not be to others.

I believe in it.  I don’t expect others to

but I may convince them if we talk.

**

Spirituality and science?

*

The world is full of other perspectives, possibilities and paradox.

What is the truth?

Spirit for now is an absolutely recognizable idea in our world.

Just as science but not as tangible or defined and therefore, not as practical.

*

We are always learning.

***

I find myself in

these situations often

When communication seems flawed

We start second-guessing

Did reality change?

*

My mind outthinks itself

Trying to be safe AND awesome

My presentation is raw

I just keep confessing

I can’t help myself

I have to be true

But something in the middle

Makes it hard to get through

**

It happens at work more

It doesn’t happen at home

People that know me better

Know what to expect

If folks think I’m a jerk

I won’t leave it alone

People that know me better

Don’t ever suspect me

to ever be mean

I’m sometimes purely weird

But I work to keep it clean

It’s my main goal

**

I say what I say

I might need to take it back

I try to keep going

To keep it on track

Sometimes it’s odd

But if I get enough time

People get on my page

And may relate to my mind

My heart is for the most at any given moment

My stability comes first

But I care for more

My art is for the most at any given moment

My soul comes first

And I care more

**

Sometimes it’s one step forward

And two steps back

I try to leap ahead to keep it on track

Sometimes I’m blind

But if I get enough time

I heal myself and others

When I open my mind

My heart is for the most at any given moment

I see through my life first

But I care for more

My dream is for the most at any given moment

My soul comes first

Transcendental core

**

I find myself in

these situations often

When communication seems hollow

We start our assessment

Did reality change?

*

Time outthinks itself

For one reason or another

The presentation we follow

Seems kind of messed up

We can help ourselves

With reality’s rules

We get ahead of the game

When we balance each mood

**

Misunderstanding

*

Happens with strangers more

Won’t let it happen on my own

I know myself better

Know I need confidence

If folks think I’m a danger

I write more on my phone

People may know me better?

A forever alliance

How I hope for the best

Some times it all seems too weird

And I work to clean up the mess

It’s my main goal

**

I say what I say

I shouldn’t have to take it back

I try to keep going

Never talking smack

Sometimes I’m strange

But when I get enough time

People get on my page

And may relate to my mind

My heart is for the most at any given moment

My stability comes first

But I care for more

My brain

is getting close at any given moment

My soul comes first

And I care more

**

At times it’s one step forward

And two steps back

I push to get ahead

They should cut me some slack

At times I find

That if I get enough time

I heal myself and others

When I open my mind

My heart is for the most at any given moment

I see through my eyes first

But I care for more

My logic is for the most at any given moment

My soul comes first

With my tnscendental core

***

Another day in the life

Looking forward to the future

Been under for a while

but it’s finally clearing up

A convergence of chaos

Always welcomes the new world

Then recedes like the tide

Now I’m really gearing up

**

Don’t let ignorance be deadly 

We’re all in this together

We should all get ready

To climb up to the top

Lose the baggage of bias

Bring the balance back to neutral

Try to get totally steady

Harmful attitudes should be dropped

**

Pull the stars up into the sky

Push the dirt

Down to Earth

Plant it well and pack it tight

Then climb to heaven for our rebirth

*

Circle thoughts in our own head

Align with the next

Distant galaxy

So our care can be dispersed

Disconnection is a fallacy

**

We all belong

Don’t fall

Forever calls

Eternity is all we see

And Energy is always free

*

Coursing through our nerves and veins

Dancing in our hearts and brains

Every molecule that strives to bond

Each sense we share

Each day we’ve spawned

**

We all belong

And crawl

No too tall or too small

The best time of all

Is when we have our orbit set

Haul our fair weight

Make our safe bets

Routine to wake

And share all we get

Keeping health for ourselves

This planet

Why would we deny

Kind logic that flows

Healing powers

Deep down that Everyone knows?

**

Another day in the life

With a blast from the past

Been stretching out for a while

And I will never stop

A resurgence of memory

Welcomes the life that came last

Then rises fast like the tide

Now I’m really cooling off

**

Don’t let arrogance be deadly 

We’re all in this together

We should all get ready

To reach up to the top

Lose the hang ups of denial

Raise the balance for the better

Try to get totally steady

Harmful attitudes should be stopped

**

Pull the stars down from the sky

Push the fair

Up into the air

Feed all life well and share good light

Reach past all hell, but stay aware

*

Circle thoughts in our own head

Prepare for the next new weather system

Know our game holds truth and dare

Protection comes from our prediction

**

We all belong

Stand tall

Forever calls

Eternity is all we see

And Energy is always free

*

Coursing through our nerves and veins

Dancing in our hearts and brains

Every charge that strikes so strong

Each sense we share

Each day that’s dawned

**

We all belong

And call

Not to stall or hit the wall

The best time of all

Is when we have our shelter set

Haul our fair weight

Make our safe bets

Routine to wake

And share all we get

Keeping health for ourselves

And this planet

Why would we deny

Kind logic that flows

Healing powers

Deep down that Everyone knows?

**

Another day in the life

We know only the present

Been forever for a while

I try to love it a lot

An emergence of energy

Welcomes change to make it pleasant

Then recedes like the tide

Now I’m really on the spot

***

I hope you never have to go through

What has happened to some

Pain agonizing

Wishing with everything

just to be numb

Gruelling moments of torment

Not knowing whether to scream or cry

Summoning strength just

Not to wish to die

Anything Anything to get away from this

No more moments of peace

should we have to miss

*

Physical or mental

There’s not much between

When intense stress hits

It can be an awful scene

How do we get back to

Feeling healthy and well

Instead of going through an unbearable hell?

Maintain faith and optimism

It’s all we can do

Push to believe that we can

so we can make it through

*

Take practical steps to heal and recover

Do what we can

Hope for help from another

Calm waves of patience

Tolerance and time

Eventually arrive

As we reach and climb

Further with care

For our body and mind

***

I am a bridge to span the ocean

But I have no way to connect

Thousands of miles

Our need compiles

I think I’ll become a jet

*

I have simple words to share devotion

Try to unite a world and protect

So many styles

Constant life-trials

Best if everyone could reflect

And collect our best intentions

**

I am on a road to more emotion

I have no way to disconnect

Thousands of smiles

But stress compiles

It’s the traffic that makes me fret

*

I have simple words to share devotion

Try to unite a world and protect

Attacked all the while

By social denial

Best if everyone

Could learn to reflect

**

We see the world in front of us

We can accept it or deny

Deep down to our foundation

We our one living nation

Everyone has their perspective

We can see it better if we try

We can feel empathy

If we work harder

To understand the reasons why

We are different or the same

We can work to accept more or deny

**

I am part of the social quotient

I am the building

where we connect

Thousands of files

The present compiles

I aim to show total respect

*

I have simple words to share devotion

Try to unite a world and reject

Political guile

Kindness denial

Best if everyone could reflect

And collect our best intentions

***

A piece of time

One single moment

Washing against the shore

*

Peace of mind

Knowing what the dream meant

Calm and patient to the core

*

Years go by

I think about time spent

Imagine what’s in store

*

Appeasing sky

Cloudy grey, still heaven-sent

Texture can’t be ignored

**

Life persists

No matter the dreary day

Going about our business

*

Through the mist

We reach out to have our say

The sky our only witness

*

Life’s turns and twists

Under water creatures play

Or above clouds in their highness

*

The day insists

There is another way

A balanced world won’t defy us

**

The light is true

Even if it’s hiding

Darkness is never forever

*

This sight is new

The future is arriving

Harshness is quick to sever

*

Our might runs through

Each breath forward-guiding

We harness the wind and the weather

*

Night for me and you

May be cold and blinding

But day is always

Our next endeavour

***

I wear my heart on my sleeve

It’s just the way it goes

It’s not my fault

Sometimes I seem overexposed 

*

If my only explanation 

Causes frustration

We think the day away

With the view that we chose

Defined by defiance

To all those opposed

*

Now I need you more:

And an alliance that shows

So we can be who we are

And everyone knows

**

I put my best foot forward

Then you step on my toes

It’s not your fault

I was getting too close

*

In another situation

We share pure elation

We dance the day away

With the one that we chose

Smiling in defiance

to all those opposed

*

Now I need you more:

And an alliance that shows

We can be who we are

as our good love grows

**

I am who I am

I do the best I can

We can get along together

When we understand

How to approach each other

How to interact

And find productive peace

To get our lives on track

*

We can work together

And care enough

Get what we need

And then share stuff

“No, I won’t because I’m so wicked”

Thinking like that is a bad habit 

And we all have to kick it

*

We are who we are

We will get very far

If we get along together

We connect like superstars

In how we approach each other

How we interact

We can find productive peace

And bring the balance back

**

I say what I want to say

That is best I suppose

It’s no one’s fault

Which way the wind blows

*

With great consideration

And no hesitation

We work the day away

For the cause that we chose

Unwinding defiance

Of all those opposed

*

Now I need you more:

And an alliance that shows

So we can be who we are

And a better energy flows

***

Intelligent social creatures

Bursting freely into an open space

Flooding into branches and roosts

Never reckless or consumed by haste

*

Greed is not real when

They fight for their life

Wanting what they need

It’s how they feed

Competition within the light

Wild creatures come into sight

**

Every day keeping it real

We think we have a feel for it

They have their world

With appeal

They have to steal

every meal for it

*

They are heard

A loud bird

Caw and call intensely

But our unfair words

Make us sure

Of the rise and fall we are sensing

A flock of crows is a murder

So sinister

With our false pretences

**

Soaring high above

Almost any single story

Truth or fiction

Each outcome can be so important

When they hold bold wisdom

For our future glory

In lives we are adoring

We always want more

But when we see through biased eyes

Key views that we ignore

Prevent us from sharing

Resources we are storing

*

Like when we hold back love

from a certain group of people

Because they seem different

We label them

Trouble or evil

They may not be bad at all

Often just trying to survive

In the methods that they’re accustomed

We all have ways to stay alive

We put our heads down and drive

We should be trying harder

To help all of our worlds jive

**

Dancing intertwined

falling through the atmosphere

By chance we are inclined

All together without fear

Intolerance, an unkind calling

Cleansed quickly, the air is clear

We enhance the mind we haul

by looking in the mirror

One glance and we find

We are all so similar here

The stance to take is kindness

Call off every single tear

*

Crows may divebomb an eagle

In their fight for territory

An eagle arrives calm

Demands respect

Would never have to say sorry

Eagles rise much higher

Known as an honourable bird

Killing machines demand more praise

Sometimes I think it’s absurd

Unlike the hard-working crow

A common super-smart scavenger

**

Don’t get me wrong

Precision is cool

An eagle is regal

And rarely a fool

Their carnivorous skill

Sometimes so impressive

Yet the crow we all know

Can seem way more aggressive 

If we listen closer 

their voice is suggestive

Of ancient wisdom

From sunlight or shadows

Of the illusions and insights

That we always have had close

***

I must say

I’m on a mission

To accomplish what I’m wishing

It’s just too bad and I can’t see why

But nobody will listen

*

It seems what I’ve said

has been written down

Words I can’t live without 

Turn the pages

Make your wagers

On what it’s all about

*

Simple as a circle

Straightforward as the seasons

**

I must say

I have a vision

To harness more precision

It’s just so sad

And I can’t understand why

 the things we need are missing

*

It seems what I thought

has been said out loud

Words I can’t live without

Help me through life’s stages

Like daily wages

For what it’s all about

*

Simple as a square

How we stay aware

**

I must say

I have made a decision

About this intense world we live in

I should say what I want to say

Why keep it all bottled up?

*

Calmly catching on

Words hitting full throttle

In this classic model

Mind before body

We don’t want to hit the wall

*

Let’s see the road clearly

And our brains won’t get startled

By any metal friction

It’s just the gears turning

Join in this intuition

And join this peace-loving journey

Look into today’s mission and vision

Because they’re absolutely worthy

Just because we are stars

Doesn’t mean we are unearthly

**

I must aay

I am on a mission

To accomplish what I’ve envisioned

Is it too wild and I can’t see why?

Am I headed for a collision?

*

It seems what I’ve found

has been driven out

Words I can’t live without

Land on the same page

We are in a cage

This is what it’s all about

*

Simple as a triangle

Let’s raise a pyramid

***

Today has turmoil

We are buried

Under a thousand troubles

They keep on adding up

But if we are tough enough

We can

Make it to the end of the tunnel

We won’t let the world

Abandon us in the dark

**

Today has toxicity

We are blasted

By a million aggressive moves

They keep on multiplying 

But if we can make the grade

We can

Find the best ways to overcome and soothe

We won’t let the world

Lose our human touch

**

Today has the meaning of life

Let’s bring it to the light

I’m going out on a limb

I hope we all are in

I’m glad to be alive

In the morning let’s begin

All day, let’s thrive 

When it’s night

Let’s dive

And swim through starry skies

until tomorrow arrives

*

We won’t get lost in clouds

In darkness and in doubts

**

Today has context

We are blinded

By a billion personal views

They continue expanding

But if we keep an open mind

We can find more of the most valuable truths

We won’t let the world

Confuse our best of intentions

**

Today has the meaning of life

Let’s bring it to the light

We are all trying to win

I hope we all are in

I’m glad to be alive

In the morning let’s begin

All day, let’s thrive 

When it’s night

Let’s dive

And learn from starry skies

until tomorrow arrives

*

We won’t get lost in clouds

In pressure and in crowds

***

I am aware

of the world around me

The life that’s out there

That runs through

*

I can get inside

deep consciousness

Get into the mood

And get behind your causes

*

I love to share

what I’m learning

Writing in earnest

Expanding ideas churning

From the source of the fire

At the bottom of the pile

**

I am aware

of the world around me

The life that’s out there

That runs through

*

I can get inside

deep consciousness

Get into the mood

And get past all the bosses

*

I love to share

what I’m yearning

Fighting to turn past

Outlandish ideas churning

Like ignored wild fires burning

It’s getting down to the wire

**

I have no answers

When you have no questions

What are we after?

Is it how it seems?

*

Who knows best?

It seems we all do

*

We fight for ourselves

Consider the rest

To be complete

**

I have an answer

If you ask the question

To avoid disaster

Play for the same team

*

To get what we are after

Move smarter and faster

*

Towards what we each want

Aim for what our whole world needs

**

We are aware

of the world around us

The life that’s out there

That runs through

*

We can get inside

deep consciousness

Get into the mood

Wild thoughts and actions cautious

*

We love to share

What we are learning

And we work fast

Good plans and ideas emerging

We protect and fuel the fire

Sharing goals of our desires

***

Patiently waiting for the sun to rise

There has been no sound since I opened my eyes

Behind the glass windows of modern times

Outside clouds hover

the morning seems idle

*

Famously facing the bright one in the skies

There has been grey clouds since I dawned my disguise

Behind heavy doors of barricaded days

Night’s proud cover

Opens to dreams that are vital

**

A volcano bursting into rivers of gold

Years shake and shiver until brought into the fold

Blazing sunlight heats my heart and warms up my soul

The immediate moment never grows old

**

Patiently waiting for

Hell to freeze over

There has been no sound since the bees in the clover

Behind the glass window of summer’s keen chauffeur

Fall flies by quickly

the fickle year shifts gears

*

Earnestly facing fast changes in the climate

Planting patches around frost

in lines and we time it

Behind the heavy weight

of the cold earth and snow

Winter’s sleeping engines

stay silent in drifting years

**

A mountain shimmers

with fields of glowing ice

Like fire from summer’s wheels

Each seasons’ flowing lights

Spring sunshine

Will grow green

past year-end’s frozen price

The immediate moment

Always hits new heights

**

The immediate moment

Is the apex of life

The peak of

Days and nights

The summit of

Sights

and sounds

*

The immediate moment is completely unbreakable

Totally inescapable 

We must

just take it all

Now

**

Patiently waiting for the sky to fall

No earth-shattering sound when it breaks through the wall

Behind glass houses they still hear our call

Rain crashes down

It is how we all feel

*

Graciously facing each moment we crawl

Rivulets on the window

Winding streams enthral 

Behind heavy doors of impenetrable glaze

A storm’s proud front

Opens to dreams that grow real

**

The top of the day looks past morning’s fog and mist

Tomorrow’s dream runs through the trees

Writhes and twists

Yesterday’s battles shake their heads and their fists

The immediate moment is all that exists

***

No problem here

Nothing to see

I’m climbing a mountain

I’m chained but I’m free

Rules get old

And then get broken

Challenges imposed

Will not be spoken

Carrying a weight

Heavier than harrowing boulders

Holding it all

on my narrow shoulders

*

No problem here

Nothing to see

I’m climbing a mountain

I will always be free

**

No problem here

Nothing to see

I’m swimmimg an ocean

I’m anchored but free

Truth can get heavy

When it gets spoken

My word disclosed

Will not be broken

Carrying a weight

Heavier than sunken treasure

Holding it all

Just for good measure

*

No problem here

Nothing to see

I’m swimming an ocean

I will always be free

**

I am always me

So in this sense I am free

To think what I want

Whether the world is for

or against me

*

I am always me

There’s no one else I can be

So I think what I want

Get past any pain

and anxiety

I can always be free

To get by and achieve

No problem here

It’s what I believe

**

No problem here

Nothing to see

I’m soaring through the sky

I’m grounded but free

Visions are best

Fully awoken

Solutions exposed

Let’s all invoke them

Carrying a weight

Heavier than

Blackened storm clouds

Holding it up

For our glorious crowds

*

No problem here

Nothing to see

I’m soaring through the sky

I will always be free

***

Plan for the future

Plan for the day

Think of what we’re going to do

And what we’re going to say

*

First

Let’s resolve our basic needs

Work to care for our health

Let’s share ways to succeed

Learn how to share the wealth

Ideas, plans and resources

Extend to all

To make it work

When we move ourselves together

We move all of the Earth

*

My back is breaking

My heart is shaking

Bursting for you

I can’t ignore you

We are carrying the world

How can I support you?

*

My head is aching

The time it’s taking

Immersed in you

I want more of you

For all the world

I adore you

I implore you

To embrace all of the world

*

Plan for the new year

Plan for the day

Think of all we’re going to do

And all we’re going to say

*

Next

Let’s resolve our greater needs

Work to care for our life

Let’s share ways to achieve

Learn how to shine our inner light

Ideas, plans and resources

Extend to all

To make it work

When we move ourselves together

We move all of the Earth

*

Move all of the Earth

For all it is worth

Spinning on its axis

*

Bring people together

Overcome all of the weather

Make sure

Caring and compassion

Are active

Convey understanding

Of our basic needs

How we survive

What we are demanding

When patience leads

To keep us alive

Find content

With each day standing

*

My back is breaking

My heart is shaking

Bursting for you

I can’t ignore you

We are carrying the world

How can I support you?

*

My head is aching

The time it’s taking

Immersed in you

I want more of you

For all the world

I adore you

I implore you

To embrace all of the world

***

When we are at a party

And I can hear you talking

I might join in

If it wouldn’t be too shocking

*

Hey, it’s just me

Why can’t we just be free?

You know I’m trying to help

With some honesty

*

Some would claim that

I just rant and rave

They don’t follow my words

They just won’t catch the wave

**

When we are at the market

And I see you shopping

I might say, “Hi,”

If it wouldn’t be too shocking

*

Hey, it’s just me

Why can’t we just be free?

I’m just another person

That’s all that I can be

*

Some would claim that

Kindness is not safe

Even offering kind words

Is not fine in every place

**

People are the same

There is no one to blame

We each play our own game

It’s nice when we all win

*

People have no shame

We can not always blame

The rules of the game

It’s nice when we all win

Fair and square

*

It’s shocking when we beat the odds

When we are free to be

Who we are 

We rock hard to make a difference 

Use our words to take us far

**

When we are in each other’s hearts

And I can feel them locking

I might throw away the key

If it wouldn’t be too shocking

*

It’s plain to see

Somehow we still are free

When we work harder to win

With our integrity

*

Some would claim that

We can not keep pace

They will understand my words

If they can read my face

**

People are the same

There is no one to blame

We each play our own game

It’s nice when we all win

*

People fight for one name

We can not always blame

The rules of the game

It’s nice when we all win

Care and stay aware

***

Days of work left

As I prepare for the holidays

I drift through the hours

Falling playfully

Here

Then there

Dropping fast

A flashing pinball

Into a field of silver

Spheres extending arms

Like rigid feathers

Or old school t.v. antennae

Connecting in a blanket of visions

And of sounds of crisp crackling goodness

*

Ways to see the good

May be far and few between

Sometimes they’re very clear

Sometimes they can’t be seen

Here

Or hiding

Anywhere

The elusive wildlife

Is always there

Every being is wild

In our habitat, Outstretched

Awareness results from our senses

Starting simple

As a sketch

*

We develop feelings

Many times

With dots that we connect

With no choice assuming

Other times

Requiring a good effort

To solve mysteries with poise

We find an understanding

Of what we hear and see

Strut our stuff

And use our voice

Value hides

Assumption presides

Until our best sense is deployed

*

‘Best sense’ can be what we see

Like a million snowflakes on a tree

Then gone into another form

Another place when It gets warm

Sometimes our best sense can be heard

Like when we share a friendly word

Hello

The day is up to you 

Best wishes you are happy getting through

I’ll keep saying what I say

It’s all on me

It’s what I do

***

Explosion

The notion

Blasting from my head

The emotion everlasting

Connected by a thread

*

Joy

Love

Connection to Life

Tied to other minds

A web that holds us tight

These strands are caring

Aware and

Allowing freedom to move and explore

Vulnerable 

For moments

But still strong to the core

*

Corrosion

Erosion

Crashing in my head

The emotion that is clashing

When I’m left for dead

*

Fear

Doubt

Difficulties in life

Blind to other minds

Discarded fast in fright

Their alarm is scary

Unaware

Without a view

They choose to ignore

*

Oblivious

For moments

Enough to start a war

**

Before we meet that moment

And fight for all it’s worth

Before we base it all on an opinion

We should first

do all our research

We all share the earth

*

Fear and doubt

Get out

Get out of our minds

*

Find courage in time

Bring on joy and love

And no worse

In emotion:

Find today immersed

**

An ocean

Devotion

From my heart fast to my head

The emotion surpassing

Everything I said

*

Before or after

Or right now in our life

We need time for other minds

Their visions out of sight

These thoughts are caring

Aware and

Allowing freedom to

Achieve and want more

Comprehend in moments

On the level, what’s in store

**

When we meet that moment

And fight for all it’s worth

When we base it all on hard cold fact

We should then

Share all our research

We all live on earth

*

Fear and doubt

Should get out

Get out of our minds

*

Find courage in time

Bring on joy and love

And no worse:

Accept emotions

And the start of the first verse

***

Every day

We walk a fine line

Some moments are so easy

Other times just grind

But I don’t mind

I still try to be kind

And work

for an outcome that’s pleasing

*

In another moment

Stress may catch us

I still try to feel fine…

More of the time

**

Every hour

We can design time

Some plans work out so easy

Other times just grind

But I don’t mind

I still try to be kind

And work

for an outcome with reason

*

In another moment

Stress may reach us

I still try to act fine…

All of the time

**

Life changes with

An event

A mood

A feeling

*

One false move

And a day

Comes crashing down

*

Watch each step we take

On the ground we pound

Stay real and

Make it better…

Through any kind of weather

*

Find ways to feel fine

More of the time

We can find a way together

**

Life can rush fast

Don’t lose control

even though

Some moments are speeding

The times fly by

Savour every breath

We must know

Caring is all that is needed

*

Be strong and hold on

When life gets wild

Love hard and rock on

Use logic and reason

We can go with the flow

Or the time of the season

Compared to many

Our life is easy

**

Every second

We have chances to shine

It might not seem that easy

Some times just grind

But I don’t mind

I still try to be kind

And work

for the outcome we’re needing

*

In another moment

Stress tries to beat us

With good mental health I find…

No matter the time:

Life can not defeat us

***

Shown up

By superficial truths

I don’t look cool

Because I’m too real

*

Blown off

With no immediate use

Treated like a fool

Because they can’t feel

*

They can’t get a hold of empathy

They would rather ignore everything

Kindness cramps their style

I love them still

Try to make them smile

And share goodwill

**

Grown up

To superficial truths

I don’t make the rules

It’s not my deal

*

Thrown off

With no immediate use

Treated cruel

To break my spinning wheel

*

They can’t get a hold of words I speak

They would rather ignore

Everything

Kindness is not their style

I love them still

Try to help them smile

And share goodwill

**

Sure I’d like to break them down

The superficial truths

The oblivious goofs

Help us see what we can see

With empathy

So we can learn to function better

If they take advantage

They are indebted

If they are cruel anyway

I’ll still work on my own

To be okay

**

With breakthrough moves

Immediate truth

And endurance to prove

This kind of love may dissipate

But won’t forever stay away

*

I want to crush

Bad attitude

Or meet halfway with a strong, calm mood

Then if darkness should intrude

We get down to the truth

**

We may forever go our own ways

Someone may win

Someone may pay

But the rules and views

Should not be misused

Based on

Deceptive

Superficial truth

**

Stone is

No superficial truth

Beneath is a Jewel

That is such a steal

*

Hone in

On an immediate use

Treat me like a tool

Functioning to heal

*

They can’t get a hold of all I see

They would rather ignore everything

Kindness is more than style

I love them still

Try to earn a smile

And share goodwill

Faraway stars

Still get through nights

Bright each day together

Open our minds

With kind insight

Feel energy for everything

Kind spirits shine forever

For everyone

Keep our visions tight

With love to guide

And never hide

Speaking freely

We light the light

And

Get through to the world

***

Working intensely

on the edge of nothing

Speaking boldly

into a void

The triumphs I celebrate

are recycled in the archives

Taking up space like expired days

*

Why can’t they hear me?

Is my time hiding?

Or did they place it

where it can’t be reached

Just out of the way?

**

Scrambling up a hill

Breaking into a run

Breathing heavy

Into my lungs

The patience I demonstrate

Is ignored

By the roadside

Not recognized

By those going my way

Why don’t they give a F**K

While they are comfortably riding?

Should I just face it

There are so many creeps

Too many empty seats

Expecting to be paid?

**

We are scary

Who is caring

While we bust our a$$?

I don’t have a million dollars

But feel higher

Than those that are

Inconsiderate

In the supposedly

upper social class

Folks suffer here

And much further below

To me it seems obvious

There should be a better flow

Against the grain

To fight pain

In simple ways that clearly show

**

Be kind

Whenever you have the chance

Simple math

To help wellness advance

If everyone tries

We will reach new highs

Some folks always dodge out

On what I’m talking about

No effort or attempts

Dragging us down

No doubt

So let’s make plans to enhance

Take the chance

Be kind in life

Help wellness advance

**

Working intently to get something going

Speaking freely

Into the day

The success I celebrate 

Many miles ahead of exile

This saving grace

is a desired phase

*

Why can’t we take the moment?

Is our time hiding?

Or did we place it

where it can’t be reached

Just out of the way?

***

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 questions

The serpent of the river and fire

The future desire

Will ask us

**

What do you want?

What do you need?

How much will you pay?

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

Cool light

Drops down and splashes

Out of the night

A new light

Storms and crashes

*

Like questions

The serpents

the seller and buyers

The futures inspired

Just cash in

**

The snake in the road

Curves of life that guide us

The 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

Where we are

It is what we do

**

What do you want?

What do you need?

How much will you pay?

How much will you bleed?

How can you survive

& then truly succeed?

What do you want and

What do you need?

**

The giver of life

Old boldened skies

Everyday look twice

The sky shines or rain lashes

*

Today climbs higher

To find what we desire

For our dreams, Look twice

Through downpours and dry patches

Out of the grey

A bright day

No venomous clashes

*

Just answers

Of the serpent

the rain, sun and sky

Our immediate desire

Quickly flashes

***

A billion pounds of pressure

Underneath the sea

Or at the centre of the Earth

Or wherever we may be

The future falls from the sky

We are thirsty to be free

The wait of a million years

Is fast only for the stars we see

*

A speck of dust in outer space

A galaxy full-blown

The storm of our global economy

Energies we can hone

Protect all the life that’s known

**

A billion dollar blessing

To people like you and me

Words can’t say the worth

How much better it would be

The future falls from the sky

We are dying to be free

The wait of a million years

Is what it might turn out to be

*

A moment of time

A mile in our shoes

Empathy known

A key to success for humanity

Energy we can hone

A movement towards

All the life that is known

**

The onslaught of opinions brings

A deluge of demands

To justify our existence

We are forced to take a stand

In our common sense

We must invest

The best people lend a hand

Why can’t the other side get it?

Why can’t they understand?

It pays to be a kind soul

It’s smart to have

Well-being of all life

Always in the plans

**

And if you have excess

Holding surplus in your hands

You must be aware that

Sharing should be

More fairly spanned

Across the needy world

Easily

A sustainable

Million seeds

Times a grand

If your way out is to

Hurt, bully and lie

You are becoming less human And

You should really

Change your brand

For your own and for all of our wellness

You really need to take a stand

**

Stars spinning

Constellations distant

Spanning all eternity and time

Find empathy and decency

Or lose the best part of your mind

Karma is so plain to see

Stay on the safe side towards

Healthy harmony you find

Keep your calculations circling

Then sign the bottom line

**

With billions of lives: A lesson

Just above the sea

Working on top of the Earth

~Wherever we may be

The future falls from the sky

Work together to be free

The wait of a million years

Is fine when life’s kind

Right back to you and me

*

A rock flying through outer space

A destiny unknown

The connection we create from empathy

-Energy we can hone

Enrich all the life that’s known

Protect all life

As best we can

It’s the right thing to do alone

What might mean most to you

is that

All life connects to our own

And this is our only home

***

Our profile picture

Is just one angle of us

The visions I post

Might not be

Me at my most

We are getting up close

Can we be  true to  ourselves?

*

All strong and kind

Sharing our mind

Caring about time

And knowing what a picture’s worth

We are down to earth

With a thousand words

That won’t be heard

Unless they listen first

**

You have listened to me

I know that you have

Or we wouldn’t be going down this avenue together

Through any kind of weather

If there’s sunshine we’re glad

When we enjoy time, it’s better

**

So unrefined

Expressing our mind

Caring about time

Consider the big picture first

In our lives we’re immersed

We know what it’s worth

We need to be heard

Saying only fair words

**

Its not absurd

Fair words in context

Should not be obscured

By a little blue bird

We must have some say

We will make our way

Don’t think worse

Break the curse

I’ll push the verse

Wish I could just

Be less pressured

And the world was cured

So that each one of us could

Please rest assured…

**

Our nature picture

Is just one piece of life

The visions I post

Might not be

Something to toast

But I’m getting up close

I work hard to be true to myself 

*

All strong and kind

Sharing my mind

Caring about time

And picturing peace on Earth

For what it is worth

No bubbles burst

But we won’t be heard

Unless they listen first

***

The day is only a reflection

of what you think it might be

Fiery truths

Are obscured

by the night’s long cloak

My thoughts are being pulled from my brain

And in the fall season soak

Like wilting leaves

That crumble

Now happily replaced by their own shining colours

A new tomorrow

Freed from the worries of passing clouds

**

The night is much more

Than what you think it might be

A returning shadow

That has allure

Rhythm pure as day’s best tune

My thoughts start to see through

the envelope

of a darkened room

Earth’s certain moves

So revealing

Now reading the mood of

Distant stars shining

A new today

Freely spinning with

Fast and famous sounds

**

In the deepest darkest night

Music restores our sight

The vision in our hearts

Becomes clear

At least in parts

And we put it together

With an intense faith in the horizon

*

In the clearest brightest day

Music shows the way

The magnetic pull on our soul

Defines our main life goal

And it comes together

With lead

Rhythm and bass

in our new sky’s song

**

In between sun rays and moon beams

are thoughts that can calmly take over

Some heralded as brilliance

Reflecting the sun

Some deemed

quite clearly as mediocre

We all do our best

We are who we are

A shooting star

A teacher or joker

If we look up to the sky

With a song that won’t lie

Our dreams 

Surely will go far

**

The twilight is often a projection

of what you think it might be

A deciding haze

Connects nights to days

Reality we invoke

Our thoughts

At these times come through most

The sun on the moon thrown

Paint on a stone

That stays or fades

And plays in the window

*

Intense moments of rock

A new forever

*

Free to change time

With each heavy thought

***

Feeling ill for a couple of days

Bounced back today

I’m hoping for a good sleep

*

Work and toil

Energy coil

Forever loyal

Takes a lot out of us

Kindly

Giving us back days again

Where we work and toil some more

A little break

Some rest we take

Hopefully get to celebrate

I love my jobs

I’ll just keep going

You just say when

**

Feeling low like you see me sideways

Anyways

The angle seems way too steep

Stress and problems

We struggle to solve them

Society evolves them

Takes a lot out of us

Kindly

Give us credit for our days again

Avoid stress and problems but don’t ignore

A hot take

Give me a break

Hopefully find some peace of mind

I love my life

I’ll keep going

You just say when

**

We work in the money machine

I like it fine

but for a long time been seen

On the fringe of the material

Never feeling too inferior

I’m all wound up

A charge of energy

Let me see

Everything

That we need

Free from greed and be

Loyal only to a true source

All at once and sum more

Share the labour and rewards

Plug us in like electrical cords

What ever you can afford

**

Feeling bold

We fight through hard days

Bounced back today

I’m hoping for a big win

Daily grind

Energy spikes

Use our body and mind

Takes a lot out of us

Kindly

Giving us back good days again

Maybe we need to grind some more

Records we break

For God’s sake

We need

A reason to celebrate

I love my world

I’ll just keep going

You just say when

**

We live in the money machine

By design

but for a long time unclean

On the hinge of the material

Oiled but not too superior

All tuned up

A charge of energy

Let me be

Everything

That we need

Free from greed and be

Loyal only to a true source

All at once and then sum more

Make neighbours aware of their hoards

Light us up on our handheld billboards

What ever you can afford

**

Fear and greed

Try to shut down the good hearts

Hide the connection

To shared empathy

If we’re low

They think we can’t be that smart

or capable of feeling anything

Useless rabble, happy to vex them?

Will become found souls

When

they find our angle

A dimension of feeling

in the money machine

***

The spirit of today

Right in front of your eyes

Changes happen constantly 

Top to bottom

There is

No surprise

*

We go for what we’re after

We all want a better life

Dreams glimmer in the dark

like reflections in the water

Let your

Bold vision

Summon the light

**

But don’t take the world from someone else

Don’t bring a cold night into their mind

Without spirit together

We never truly get ahead

It’s not hard

To be kind

*

The fire I see in your eyes

Stands out beyond your shadowy disguise

We’re from the same world

I’m sure

Our love of life will stay pure

And it’s not hard to be kind

**

The spirit of today

Consumes our souls sometimes

Change can come for the better

It’s now or never

with no compromise

*

We go for what seems the best

We all want a better life

Impulse shatters the moment

as boots break a frozen puddle

Let your

common sense scatter the ice

*

But don’t break the world of someone else

Don’t leave anyone else behind

Without spirit together

We can never get ahead

It’s not hard

To be kind

*

The ice that is melted by your eyes

Opens to a simultaneous sunrise

We’re from the same world

I’m sure

Our love of life will stay pure

And it’s not hard

To be kind

**

It’s not hard to be kind

But it’s hard to be sure of

how to go about it

Our intentions may be pure

But sometimes they are doubted

We are truly kind

If we care as much as we can

And work to execute a plan

To boost the world up

To the best of our ability

Share health and wellness

A together wealth

A life-fulfilling thing

**

Maybe its hard to imagine

Some times

Some places

But if we move our minds

Our bodies

And share happy faces

It becomes second nature

Sometimes

the acts we take are evasive

People are abrasive

They clash on the basis

Of what their heart chases

It’s hard because

its a thrilling thing

To be alive

but we have different tastes here

**

We try to live so free

Take what there is for me

But when we’re kind together

And find ways to understand

When we share and stay aware

And make a better plan

It’s plain to see

The best for you and me

Is the way it’s designed

In our mind

In our heart and fantasy

It’s the way that it should be

Actually

It’s not hard to be kind

**

The spirit of today

To be caring is wise

Constant change can help us see

We need each other

Across all of time

*

Really: Go for what makes

most sense of all

We all want a better life

Today must hear our call

Like an urgent surging waterfall

*

With true care and passion

It’s not hard to be kind

***

I return from dreaming

And they want to make me pay

The Earth opens up steaming

That’s why I have so much to say

I couldn’t feel much smaller

Another day

Another dollar

If I’m broken down today

Still have to climb the wall and

Crawl to the begging surface

of the waking world

Seeming tall with imagination

Squirrelled away in surplus

*

Share our perspectives

Talk about our goals

If people hide away all they’ve got

The world will not be whole

The challenge lies in what we see fit

Because often we don’t know ourselves

We should be fine to bare our souls

Release everything idle on our shelves 

That is needed by someone else

*

I appear to be winning

And they want to make me pay

The Earth keeps on spinning

That’s why I have so much to say

I couldn’t feel any closer

Another step to make the most of

If I’ve fallen down today

Still have some things to boast of

Folk should look past the surface

of the waking world

All of us have successful feelings

That truly serve a purpose

*

Dig for new perspectives

Follow your desired goals

If people shy away from all they want

The world they need will be bought and sold

Our vision derives

from how we reason

We determine the situation

on our own

Only you and I change how it rolls

Achieve more when we learn how it’s known

Develop success

From what we’re shown

*

What does the world

want from me?

I’m doing everything I can

We can be leaning to one side

But shunned by both

Does no one

have a together plan?

It seems obvious to me

The future must be free

Yes pay to be

Part of society

By working hard

By thinking carefully

No matter what we need

Lend a hand

When resources

Are in scarcity

*

How is it no one can see

Or no one can understand?

We can be working for all sides

But known by none

Does anyone

have a together plan?

It seems obvious to me

The future must be free

Get paid to be

Part of society

Start caring more

Doing all in our ability

No matter what we need

Lend an ear

Join forces

And create synergy

Don’t perpetuate poverty

Be more URGENT

*

I may seem so strange

And they want to make me pay

The Earth is always changing

That’s why I have so much to say

I couldn’t feel much more alive

Another place

Another time

If I’m getting down today

I still have the spark of life

Deep beneath the surface

of this waking world

Even when I’m down

I believe in love

So optimism stays in surplus

*

I have a permanent perspective

I keep my same life goals

To maximize good feelings everywhere

For all the world to find it’s soul

Possibility changes as time moves on

It’s just the nature of reality

We should keep love burning

stronger than red hot coals

Send our energy out to causality

Positively influencing life’s totality

*

When can the world ever find peace?

It all depends on our stand

We can have calm within our mind

And share it with others

We can have a better together plan

It seems obvious to me

The future must be free

Yes pay for each part of society

By finding empathy

As we learn to believe

No matter what they need

Lend our time toward love and peace

Make it the source

Of everything

***

I’d reach out to you

But I’m all tied up

This world is so demanding

The villains can’t get enough

Why can’t they cut me some slack

On this railroad track?

There 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

Casually chained and neatly bound

While the source of my situation

Simply can’t be found

*

My sinister captor laughs

Shaking the 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

**

Are you reaching out to me

While I am on the road

I can’t answer right now

I have got a heavy load

I hope you can wait for a while

Maybe just another mile

I think there’s a shoulder ahead

And I’ve got you on speed dial

*

But now my head is spinning round

To that tenacious ringing sound

I drive fearlessly with words

That I can’t say until we’re bound

Not until we connect together 

And heavy our hearts pound 

*

The winding road lies

Our destination can’t be found

But then a perfect moment realized

and the road to home I’m heading down

Arriving like an echo

Everywhere the sound

**

If I leave I will return

From the far side of a lake

A ringing bell brings me back

I’m flat-out on the track

A gun starts a race

We stay in our lanes

I’m back In my headspace

A lesson learned and intact

*

A chance I had to take

A choice I had to make

The echo calling my name

Opens a window in time that seemed opaque

Now as clear as day

**

I reach out to you

I’m on another plane

No clauses withstanding 

No pain is a huge gain

Why do they attack us

Without looking back?

They seem to be

so underhanded 

When the flight’s still on the tarmac

*

Then the wheels start spinning round

Engines howl low like a growling hound

We rise high with grounded words

There’s a sheer climb to resound

When we care it raises us up

New altitude is found

*

Our internal pilot plans

So we’re never falling down

Optimistic soul to soar

Harnessing imagination tightly wound

PEACE arriving hard core

Flying higher

World-renowned

***

Looking out with no doubt

My attitude is my protection

I’m in no mood to worry about

If the world is just reflection

Gracefully preparing to launch

high into the sky

like an unfolding transformer

whose other form can fly

Not prehistoric

And can’t be ignored

When my

camouflage

is spied

Countdown commences

No false pretenses

Please don’t provoke

I can’t help but sting

Common sense is no joke

I really don’t mean to

But I might be seen to

My king invoke

This is the thing

Don’t set yourself up

Catch me and shake me

in a plastic cup

As my wings start to sing

My body starts to move

I lunge and you swoon

When I’m “All Shook Up”

Blending in

Hovering

Harmless as a fly

I can jump a mile

If you ask me to, I’ll try

Peace of the leaves

and the trees

and the sprawling skies

Motivate me to speak about the world

as I see it through my open eyes

Hopefully sharing

Ways to stay aware and

To enjoy staying alive

While also having fun

or at least having calm arrive

I’m not quite fitting in yet today

but soon I will

Then I’ll be on my way again

Every day is filled

Back to the wild of

My own habitat

And the Zen of my domain

I like coming here

While I’m still green

No envy

And for now, no pain

All the while

I learn about life

Anticipating loss or gain

Calmly standing out with a smile

Waiting for the rain

Indulge me for a moment

Or two or five or ten

We could always catch up later

When you get back again

For now, this is how it’s going

Catch these curves I’m throwing

Put a spin on time, it’s slowing

Seconds become minutes become hours

Gelling with our super powers

As we devour

The growing flowers

Until they scour the garden

Or it showers in our den

Take off or landing

Looks like I am standing

I climb up to the sky

Or swim in water rising high

When winter ice arrives

We might be somewhere else

Rain pours and sleet pelts

Then again ice melts

And we are back here demanding

the schools within these swells

Sustenance a season sells

Waves of life help us withstand

the hottest summer spells

A tight rope act

High above our head

Determines the way

that we get fed

Supplies arrive

Food chain sometimes awry

Eyes see red

If you tread

On my path instead of yours

Need has always led

And desire sped

Today the wire is higher

Cooking meals on a fire

Cling tight to our thread

Respecting what is said

All those alive

And the sacred dead

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 should have done something different

*

Hold it there

These visions are hidden

You have 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 do

Something different?

*

“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 clouded 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 more

Than your attention

For synergy

So we can make a difference

*

Hold on tight

To letters I’ve written

I must be kidding?

Please tell me

OMG

What else can I do?

***

“Keep your head down!”

Clearly we’ve been told

Some folks won’t look up

Fearing heights and growing old

Many stare at the ground

No inspiration to be found

Shuffling steps the only sound

While freedom flies overhead

*

In the skies birds

share highs instead

Unheard like butterflies

Or wise words

that might be said

As kind spirits weave a thread

*

Turn yourself round

Don’t you be so bold

Some people attack you and me

Because they can’t get ahold 

Then they stare at the ground

Yet no remorse to be found 

They can’t understand what it’s about

They fight for their life instead 

*

In your cries pure

Share your life ahead 

Be heard and emphasize

The wise words

that make most sense

As we live with what we’ve said

*

We don’t have to fight all the time

We shouldn’t have to anyways

We could try to find peace of mind

Through intense connection to calm in the day

Light that never fades away

Melts into healthy praise

In our fight for life

Wise words

Can help out in every way

Help us think okay

Bright courage that can stay

*

Try to be grounded

But we don’t fit the mould

Sometimes we are out of this world

Can’t conform like we’re told

When we finally hit the ground

Dynamic dreams we have found

Get us ahead by leaps and bounds

Sure fire way to get ahead

*

Why are your eyes so blurred

Sharing a fiery red?

I hope today the pain subsides

Wise words

The safest bet

*

Calm, kind thoughts

We won’t regret 

And may never be misled

*

Wise words

Can tame a strong wild world

and keep it in our head 

***

I am weird

I am sure

Stepping on toes

Like no one knows

Presumptuous moment

Is not one that I chose

A little history

Is as far as it goes

But to people that don’t look close

It might seem that I pose

*

I can’t even pose for a camera

Never mind lie

The truth that I have for ya

Won’t ever die

**

I am wild for a while

Fighting off woes

Like no one knows

Controversial moment

Is not one that I chose

With surprising history

I’m caught in the throes

People not close

who just suppose

Might end up being

unfortunate foes

But not intentionally!

I’m a loving guy

The truth I keep mentioning

Won’t ever die

**

Truth won’t die

Although it may change form

From different angles

It may be a storm

*

Wake up

To see truth and be reborn

When evening comes

Pray for a sky that’s orange

*

Rest all those

Living

Suffering

Awake all those

Forever drifting

Find truth within

Never let it be torn

Reconcile all

With those forlorn

**

How can we meet

Your challenges together?

We can’t even say

what we want to say

When we talk to each other

How can you overcome

Pain

Tears, fears and jeers

Without developing

Irritation

Agitation

Anger or disconnect?

How do we find progress when

communication won’t get through

to those who can help

and even our understanding

can turn out to be untrue?

**

Menacing lies

Lead to complete chaos

Destruction of

Our free space and

a constant struggle that is real

Look ahead to tomorrow

Find a righteous feeling

Battle for the better world

That chaos can conceal

Hold on tight

Life depends on time

Breathe and calmly flow

Be kind to our mind

Clear thoughts lead to fair actions

When reconciliation grows

**

I am ignored for sure

Sinking to my new lows

Like no one knows

The most elusive moment

Is the one that I chose

Connects to history

Like a raven to swarming crows

All the people’s codes

Are just thorns to our rose

*

The blooms that grow slow get

Hidden to the naked eye

The truth that we don’t know yet

Won’t ever die

***

Breathing calmly now

I hold on to my goals

Quickly

I throw away any hate and fear

And safely walk across hot coals

Let’s become the rock that rolls

Acknowledge the world that’s full of souls

**

Rise into awareness

Fall into peace

Be open to fairness

We have the keys

Kindness prepares best

To hold back the beast

In others or ourselves

Like steam

Now release

**

Breathing calmly now

I hold out for good feelings

I aim for strength

And really, for a sense of cheer

For all of our daily dealings

Our love should hit the ceiling

Acknowledge the world

We all need healing

**

Rise into awareness

Fall into peace

Be open to rareness

And life’s mysteries

Kindness prepares best

To help out at least

For others & ourselves

Like heat

Now release

**

Hot to the touch

Our engines keep on running

Cool down enough

We find a shared life that is stunning

*

Hold on to who we are

Breathe in

I see a shooting star

*

Explode into the atmosphere

Speeding faster

than a hot rod car

*

Drive safe so

We can get far

*

Be kind

We all share the road 

And carry a heavy load

Be the best of who we are

So our energy won’t corrode

**

Breathing calmly now

I hold on to my goals

Firmly shut down any hate and fear

and patch up old potholes

Let’s become the clock that tolls

Acknowledge the world that’s full of souls

**

Rise into awareness

Fall into peace

Be open to repair messes

In our realities

Kindness prepares best

So our gears don’t seize

In others or ourselves

Like years

Now release

***

Hello to the onlookers

Who mistook me for dead

And to you like an angel

Hovering over my head

*

I’m starting a new season by reaching towards the sky

Clouds and rain will follow

Leaving summer

As Autumn begins to cry

It’s not like we will

Never see those

Sacred days and months again

Future years and memories

Have so much to explain

**

Energy radiates

Every season

Every day changes

And we leap into action

Some days: A hiding place

Some wild within reason

Life can have stages

Of deep satisfaction

Colours remain

Like thoughts we believe in

Yellow, orange and red ranges

In Autumn’s attraction

Blue and green may stay late

In trees and skies for all ages

Black of night pierced by light

Colours can take away dangers

**

Hello to the passerby

Please don’t pass on my mission

And to you like a saviour

That will always listen

*

I’m right into this season

I’m reaching up to the sky

Stars and storms will follow

Leaving summer

As Autumn leaves will fly

It’s not like we will

Never see those

Sacred shades and suns again

Future years and memories

Forever will remain

**

Energy radiates

Every season

Every day changes

And we rise into action

Some days: A saving grace

Some mild and quite pleasing

Life can have stages

Of cool interaction

Colours remain

Like thoughts we believe in

Yellow, orange and red ranges

In the sun’s reactions

Blue and green may stay late

In fields and skies for all ages

Even black of night dreams with light

Colours

Should not make us strangers

***

Listen closely

To yourself

Do you want change

Or something else?

It can’t stay the same

How can we all

share the wealth?

We all want to be comfy-cozy

*

Fine if you worked all day

or if you are on a break

Some things we earn

Make no mistake

But all those other things

We don’t have to take?

**

No more gloating

About what sells

We need change

To something else

It can’t stay the same

How can we share more health?

Many won’t make it

Just by coasting

*

Fine if we are getting paid

Or if we have it made

Some things we earn

Make no mistake

But all those extra things

We just can’t forsake?

**

I’m always posing

Whether I want to or not

I put ‘styling’ clothes on

They’re all store-bought

I want to think I’m cool

With what I’ve got

But mostly because

I care a lot

I may be boasting

Take your best shot

**

Listen closely

To what time tells

Make a change for the better

As if there is nothing else

Some things

May stay the same

But best to share the wealth

If just for health

Best to open up and share

From our top shelf

***

I say stuff

In conversation sometimes

It might not mean that much

No matter what I say to you

I don’t mean to seem out of touch

Intentions may come through

Thankfully in the clutch

I hope we can always get along

But it might not be as such

Ungrounded opinion in the world is a major crutch

With which we should never judge

*

I’m not saying my opinion is a gem

Anchored in the ground

I sometimes shoot out there

like an arrow

that never will be found

But with best of intentions

for kindness to resound

*

If we could always do the same

And take much better aim

Healthy discussion will come round

Together our hearts will pound

And wellness will abound

*

I wish we could always get along

for all of time

Make it through

All the details

None of us

Going off the rails

If we could be true about who is who

With best intentions

Forget some actions

Lost in the moment

I am me and you are you

Let’s find a plan in what we do

Love never fails

When we keep it new

*

But thats just my opinion

A personal point of view

Yet when I think about it

I know that it is true

I’m no sentimental fool

I don’t just speak from my heart

At times

I just don’t care what’s cool

My brain still stays smart

We can be tough enough to refresh

Discover new love

Embrace it as a rule

I might say stuff 

Science and an art

Language is a tool
