If I move forward today

I might catch on fire

I still stand up high

and let life inspire

Top of the stairs

I wonder where to look

I’ll chase things that move

Like the wind or a brook

I won’t chase a star

That won’t shine bright

I won’t chase

a thread of darkness

into the night

*

If I take to the sky

I’ll decide where to go

I’ll follow the wind

To places I know

The season is ending

The first leaves have fallen

Been so busy working

I’m covered in pollen

One thing is clear

As I use my sixth sense

Without light to follow

Year’s end could be tense

*

So I race up a tree

Chasing whatever may move

Then come back to Earth

and get back to my groove

One thing for sure

I’m not a mean stalker

I’m just a cool cat

Quick to purr, pure rocker

I’m brought in at night

Then I don’t disappear

Find stars in my eyes

So we won’t shed a tear

*

I’m touched by joy

You brilliant visitor

Many faceted eyes

Seem truly exquisite or

Mystic as we chat

An angel leaves to go

There is no chase

Forget the race

And we’ll be fine I know

Reach to the future

Wave a sign of peace

The world changes dramatically

Have faith, Good love won’t cease

*As a note, I’ve been skydiving eleven times and engaged in some amazing cliff jumping, but would never recommend these activities for others. They were thrilling for me and skydiving is so peaceful when your chute is open; The whole world as far as the eye can see becomes vivid and vibrant, at your touch, yet far below. I survived in one piece. This is the song:

I’m falling from the skies

Won’t be criticized

Try to find the truth

And for days we’re hypnotized

*

Everything is what it seems to be

We are what we want and need

Moments are deeper than the sea

*

Underneath we face the day

On the surface be okay

Everybody breathe so peacefully

Everybody breathe

*

I’m hanging from a thread

Not better off dead

Think about tomorrow

And ways to get ahead

*

Be calm, the future’s every day

Let the moment be ok

Everybody breathe as is we’re free :||

*

Everything is what it seems to be

We are what we want and need

Moments are deeper when we’re free

Breathe

*

I’m diving off a cliff

Like a wicked guitar riff

Fighting for our life

And what we can do for it

*

Our life is only here today

Have fun, work hard to be okay

Everybody breathe

Just breathe.

I walk through the forest

Dive into a haze

Avoid future wasteland

Recognize the rays

*

Our sun’s scorching beams

Dull as a hammer

Pound to the depths

Nails dressed in fiery glamour

*

Clutching tight can scratch skin-deep

May hidden beauty rule

Love our world to balance life

Simple steps to keep us cool

*

I love my Earth

She’s all I’ll ever have

Even the universe

Can’t give me any more than that

I love her so

More than just for show

If we all love the Earth we know

She’ll never go

Love her so

*

Open eyes to the future

Rainfall for tomorrow

Dive deep into truth

No lies from leaders borrow

*

Reflection of today

In the skies and in the lake

There is no second chance

Our vision can mistake

*

If we all love the Earth we know

She’ll never go

Love her so

*

I walk thru the forest

Swim through greedy haze

Now but not forever

Must plan for future days

*

In the line of trees

Waking to tomorrow

A good grip balances life

Rain to remove sorrow

*

Words on top of decades

Truth weighs in on waste

Future sold for less than gold

No fair trade with all this haste

*

Cut back with frivolous stuff

Stick to what we need and know

Talk about what we stand for

It’s easy come and easy go

*

I love my Earth

She’s all I’ll ever have

Even the universe

Can’t give me any more than that

I love her so

More than just for show

*

Love her skies

Love her seas

Love her Rock

Love her trees

*

She’s all we will ever have

If we love the Earth we know

She’ll never go

Love her so

Standing under a sunflower

Just for a minute

Feel like the Cheshire cool cat

Time is not finite

*

In mere moments I’m scrambling

Crawling deep down a hole fast

As from merciless fire

A new bat from Hell blasts

and We are in it

sharing

For certain seconds

or hours

Forever

*

Gripped by reality

Of twisting smoke

Or bright hope

We greet the world with knuckles

*

Safer to lead with work and strength

Than clenched palms

Of ownership

If we feel like we desire all that

Set up a risk limit

and Never tire of that

All for one

one for all

Progress

This is entirely that

*

Best when

Standing under the sun’s power

To bear it and grin it

From afar admire or chat

Love still is in it

With common sense of science

Not wallowing in mire, a rat

Mindless contagion

Cozy like a vampire brat

Imposing rage in

People who want

to float in

good emotion

and Contribute

*

Well:

Good emotion

Progress

We find it from working together

Maybe at a distance

Finding out if it’s safe

Then let’s inquire about that

*

No matter how you spin it

Humanity is connection

If life’s a game

That’s how we win it

I choose to admire this fact

and Let life inspire impact

Whether sun shines or rain falls down

The sky pleases and holds our integrity

Keeping it together like where I’m from

Battle seasons like in Winnipeg city

We know ice arrives

And summer will swelter

Brave pieces of life

Build future shelter

Help Nature heal like a medicine meant to be

*

With vision in life no pain hits town

The mind’s eye eases it instead of sun

Cup raised in ice like champions

No cool life can freeze up in Edmonton

We know ice arrives

And summer will melt it

Brave pieces of life

Just like how we felt it

Have patience and good emotion will get it on

*

With optimism nature will come around

Our love and care for life builds beauty

No missed chance or wasted moment

In PoCo, Coquitlam or Moody

Pure nature arrives

And summer has held up

Brave pieces of life

Makes me just belt out

I have passion and truly feel it’s my duty

*

Lived in these places longer than most

Have also travelled from coast to coast

Fortunate and still trying to give back

*

Stories to tell from Manitoba’s White Shell

I’ve had a hard sell and been through Hell too

Genuine

How I get back

Pull pieces together

True help from the weather…

*

Feel fine

When I get back

Pull pieces together

Won’t chase a feather

*

Flown Down Under for free

Lived hill-life Burnaby

Now money’s tough

No complaint

That’s rough

Spent much time on a beach in Florida

*

Met Morrison’s ghost

More times than most

At tables I’m ready to chalk it up

*

As sun shines or rain falls down

We believe love

And play all the hits

We grow stronger when time is found

It’s ok

Seize the day

Maple Ridge

Life has surprises

As summer tells us

Brave pieces of life

When winter wells up

Tears of grey

Go away

Respect nature and play

Every way and day

Save the kids
