On the doorstep

A shy little spider

Want some more webs

Can I come inside yet?

*

We climb the walls

Or crawl under the floor

And always want more

What the corners are for

The ceilings and halls

The creepy critter crawls

Creating a family

As the future falls

Tightly wrapping us up

*

Between the cracks 

Timid creature dives down

The world attacks

The other side of town

While we’re underground

*

We climb through rocks

Try to get to the core

And always want more

Beneath the surface

Ignored

Our feelings seem small

The creepy critter crawls

Craving a fantasy

As the future falls

Including all of us

*

In such a hurry

To make good things happen

We hope to never worry

I think I see a pattern

It would really help us out

If you share the benefit of the doubt

If you accept our effort

Where will the moment take us?

I think that’s what it’s all about

It is how we take it

One step at a time

Deeper into our mind

*

Thinking things out

While we’re hanging around

No shred of doubt

When the sky is our ground

*

We climb through thoughts

Flying high for a score

And always want more

In and out through the door

Engine never stalls

The creepy critter crawls

Cradle no fallacy

As the future falls

Sticking to all of our plans

*

Raising such fury

To make good things happen

We never have to scurry

If we stick to the pattern

It would really help us out

If we share the benefit of the doubt

If we make the effort

Where will the moment take us?

I think that’s what it’s all about

It is how we take it

One step at a time

Deeper into our mind

…

Falling away from the future

That they had planned for me

Once beaten by words

not deserved

I made my plans long ago

I’m wondering 

but I’m not sure

How they still

Can not see

I made it clear with no fear

Still they think that they ought to know

What is possible for me

And the way it should be

*

Pulling away from the past

Finally found understanding

Time created with words

We now observe

I made my plans

clearly shown

I’m wondering

but I’m not sure

If they have

Just been seen

Love stays near with no fear

Life should show what it ought to show

What is possible

And the way it should be

*

The way it should be

Is no one left behind

No one should be left out

In the search for peace of mind 

The love we have

should

Extend to everyone it can

by Realizing that

Progress together

Is the

Only feasible plan

Anything is possible

A thought that we ought to know

and Understand

*

Hauling into the current time

Leaving ways that don’t stand for me

Don’t exaggerate with words

Or throw a curve

Those plans hard as stone

Never wandering

I am so sure

That we can

Still be free

Peace grows clear with no fear

Be sure you know what you ought to know

What is possible

And the way it should be

*

The way it should be

Is no one left behind

No one should be left out

From discovering peace of mind

The balance we have

should

Extend to everyone it can

by Realizing that

Including each other

Is the

Only Feasible Plan

Everything is possible

A thought that we ought to know

and Understand

When we first came here

We were outside the circle

Maybe we just seemed to be

A little bit too square

Now a key to life that I can see

Something that I find fair

Have fun

Work hard

To keep our mind free

As we calmly stay aware

*

Step just past fear

To get by any hurdle

Mind over matter sets us free

In the vision that we share

Now a key to life that I can see

Something that I find fair

Have fun

Work hard

To keep our mind free

Understand more when we care

*

What’s your sign?

We’ve crossed the line

Life’s so fine

When it’s yours and mine

*

Find peace for everyone

*

Get smart

Be kind

Get with the times

So they don’t come undone 

Work hard

Have fun 

and be the one

The one that makes a difference 

*

When we first came here

We were outside the circle

Maybe we just seemed to be

The definition of a square

Now a key to life that I can see

Advice that I find fair

Have fun

Work hard

Sharing our mind’s free

When we calmly stay aware

*

We stay aware of today

Awaiting the future

And also aware of the past

Aware of the changes

As we take a deep breath

Aware that the day goes by fast

We set our mind free

When we work for our goals

We rejuvenate

When we have fun and play

The best way to connect with

our kind of people

is to share goals as we seize the day

*

What’s your sign?

We’ve crossed the line

Days are fine

When they’re yours and mine

*

Find peace for everyone

*

Stay smart

Be kind

Lead with good times

When they won’t come undone 

Work hard

Have fun 

and be the one

The one that makes a difference 

*

Step just past fear

To get by any hurdle

Mind over matter sets us free

Like the resources

That we share

Now a key to life that I can see

A suggestion I find fair

Have fun

Work hard

To keep our mind free

We understand more

When we care

*

HaveFun

WorkHard

Care more to set our mind free

The key to life is

Staying aware

***

Did you say magic?

We strive for divine functions

To boost our energy

Promote joy

And share exquisite moments

*

Lives have fallen away from

Kindness and goodwill

*

Suffering and pain

Derive from avarice

And lack of compassion

*

We need courage

To bring the balance back

*

Optimism and empathy

Cascade down mountains of

Faith, virtue and integrity

***

Brave colours emerge

As the shadows of winter have retreated

Today is the face of new life

Like a new wave rippling

Past the clouds

To challenge the sordid storms of yesterday

Striking with intense rivulets of life

Unearthing buried dreams

Flourishing in our mind

and in our heart

*

Appropriate attire?

We dress for success

But a name itself 

Can rise from battling stress

Clamber to safety

or descend to our calm place

We are never too far from finding our ground again

Bitter days struggling lead to

New occasions

We shine again and at least contemplate peace

*

Stare through the protective darkness

Of the trees

Branches of life between us

Shelter eyes

Or fully shade

Days otherwise

Bare to the blinding brilliance of

Our closest star

Life-giving

And healing yet

Dangerous if too direct

Energy flowing

Impossible to live without

Like water and

Our thoughts

*

Laughter from above

Joined by a chorus far below

Rumors of change

Echo in the sun’s plans

But from where we stand

Excitement remains sparse

Onlookers still shiver

Fretting unseasonable weather

As if we are unprepared

And make light of the situation

Smiling full-heartedly

And with optimism

Hoping others follow

*

Some look down on

Spring flowers

Frown on the significance of

Sharing color

Frilled and flowing shapes

Reach out with the

Serious aesthetics of

Optimism and whimsy

Extend far past the sardonic rumbles of cynical critics

The detrimental frosty grips lose their touch as

Warmth arrives

*

Holding fire

And isolating energy

Waves reflect light

Intense like spirit

Through forever changing seasons

Heated vision comforts

Days impacted by neglect

Cold shoulders of the shore

Fade in and out of existence

New days

Trees rise as

Years submersed

Shapes drift

High and low

Bobbing until washed up

Or sinking till the end of time

***

I cannot forget today
Yesterday: Maybe
But the future ahead
Is carried by the river
*
All things past
Even those left for dead
Can still strike a note
Make me shake and shiver
Excitement
Good or bad
But now I summon the energy
To bring tomorrow’s joy
For all of us waiting here
We hope life will deliver
*
The strangest thing I said
Went right to your head
And I’ll never get to explain how
The river bed rolls
And now the ground starts to move
The skies are shifting for the world we choose
I want to say
One time for sure
I am reaching out to you
I want you to be well
Find Heaven past all Hell
*
We can’t forget today
Yesterday is fading
And the future ahead
Is carried by the river
*
All things last
Once they get in our head
And can still strike a note
Time, gold or an old wood sliver
Fragments, Good or bad
Cleanse or craft connections
Now I summon the energy
To find tomorrow’s peace
With faith waiting here
We know life will deliver
*
The strangest thing I said
Seemed to go over your head
And I’ll never get to explain how
The river rocks roll
And now the ground starts to move
Vast skies are shifting for the world we choose
I want to say
One time for sure
I am reaching out to you
I want you to be well
Find Heaven past all Hell
*
Heaven beyond Hell
I thought it would never drop
Future stories to tell
Today must stay on top
I can’t get down
Without the sound
Beauty and movement
The river never stops
I want you to be forever well
The river starts to swell
Taking us straight through
Heaven past all hell
Find Heaven past all hell
*
I can’t forget today
All these current changes
And the future ahead
Is carried by the river

*
We will never know
How the river rocks roll
Until the river comes flowing through
And now the ground starts to move
Life’s skies are shifting for the world we choose
I want to say
One time for sure
I’m reaching out to you
I want you to be well
Find Heaven past all Hell
