They sometimes say I’m out of touch

The truth is

they don’t know that much

I’ve got feeling

down to the core

And I want more

*

If they stopped trying to be alpha status-seekers

They’d feel the strength

of our synergy push

Trade skewed stereotypes

That make us much weaker

For researched perceptions

that keep us in touch

**

Out of touch

Way too much

It is time to get a grip

Shoot from the hip

*

Think I’m kidding?

Look in our mirror

*

We belong

It takes good energy in life to be strong

*

Are you in?

Can we begin

To get in touch?

Don’t be in such a rush

To judge another

*

The truth in love

From below or above

We must be considerate

To be in touch

**

They can never say we’re out of touch

Sometimes we need a gentle nudge

We’ve got feeling

And more in store

We want even more

*

If they stopped trying to be

Purely dominance-seekers

They’d feel the strength

of our synergy push

Trade new prototypes

Blaring through my speaker

For rehearsed reflections

that keep us in touch

**

Out of touch

We want it plush

It is time to think so quick

A real good trick

*

Think I’m fibbing?

Check in the mirror

We belong

It takes good energy in life

To get along

*

Are you in?

Can we begin

To get in touch?

Don’t be in such a rush

To crush another

*

The truth in Love

From below or above

We must have empathy

To be in touch

**

They sometimes say I’m out of touch

The truth is they don’t know that much

I’ve got feeling

down to the core

And I want more

*

If they stopped trying to be

ideal perfection-seekers

They’d feel the strength

of our synergy push

Trade unfair phenotypes

That make life much bleaker

For a shared vision

that keeps us in touch

***

Despite the dark days

Beyond their bad behaviour

The dirt has done well

And now flowers flourish

*

Past the prime plays

The sun stays our sure saviour

The truth is time will tell

And make it all worth it

**

If it’s not working out

Seize calm for a moment

Dig deep down

To find a better day

*

If your mind fills with doubt

Hold calm for a moment

Find one kind truth

in your world that will stay

**

If instead stress wades in

On all of our behaviours

The tide will do well

To refresh and stir it up

*

Leave the shore in its place

Respect rises our saviour

Life shows time will tell

Clearly it’s worth it

**

Heaven is down to Earth today

Sometimes we love life like heaven has arrived

Other times

We question if it will return

But do our best to have respect for life

Cherish what works

in the process

Love all we can

In our focus

Do what we can do

Deep down we known best

To try to love all life through and through

**

Heaven is down to Earth today

Sometimes we love life just because we are alive

Other times

We question everything we learn

but we still need to have respect for life

Cherish what works

In the process

Love all we can

In our focus

Do what we can do

Deep down we know best

To try to love all of life through and through

**

Despite the harsh days

Beyond life’s bad behaviour

Hard work has done well

It should feel immersive

*

Within the prime plays

Courage stays our sure saviour

The truth is time will tell

And make it all worth it

**

If that’s what this is about

Seize calm for a moment

Dig deep down

To find a better day

*

We can rise up no doubt

By holding calm for a moment

If you need just to get through

Find strength we create

*

Yes, we really need

to go all out

To find calm for a moment

All we need is one kind truth 

In our world that will stay

*

It’s different for everyone

It’s a challenge under way

If we have calm in our mind

We have calm in our day

***

One side of reality

Is much heavier

Bringing us down

*

With all the weight

Driving us into the ground

Like it’s our fate

*

Until we find the dream

And leave the nightmare

Become lighter than clouds

Up in the air

Dance on the wings of mountains

Massive spirit aware

So very fair

Balance

Beyond compare

**

Thousands of years

Pile up like boulders

Some parts of history

Couldn’t get any colder

Fast waves of feeling

Crash on my shoulders

*

I swim to the surface

Rising through oceans

The pressure surges

Just like our emotions

*

We strive for a pure breath

With all our devotion

To balance our life

That is the  notion

**

One shape of reality

Is much darker

Hiding a good life

*

A consuming hate

Cuts hopes like ike a sharp knife

Now let’s change fate

*

Love and empathy

Instead of hurting or

Turning a cold shoulder

Consider what we do

At keast think

Who is connected?

Is anyone affected?

How can we

improve rhe situation

As we also reach for own goals?

**

Until we find the dream

And leave the nightmare

Become brighter than fire

And take great care

Heal fast like sunshine or showers

Passionate spirit aware

So very fair

Balance

Beyond compare

**

Thousands of years

Changing like the weather

Some parts of history

Should be left forever

Bright rays of feeling

Shine when we are together 

*

I wind through the trees

Rising in forests

Find visions we need

In the world that supports us 

*

We strive for a pure breath

Everyone in chorus

To balance our life

And what it has for us

**

One phase of reality

Is steadier

Showing us around

*

The Life we create

To the moment we’re bound

Now is our fate

*

When we find the dream

And leave the nightmare

Become inspired like birds

And songs they share

Weaving kind magic in tree tops

Passive spirits aware

So very fair

Balance

Beyond compare

I’m forming an opinion

I’m opening my mind

I found a new conclusion

That I can’t leave behind

*

My thoughts are with the people

And the ultimate justice

But how the Hell would I know?

I’m just a guy with an opinion

*

I’m changing my opinion

In some ways I was blind

I’m banking on a union

I pray that we can find

**

I’ve formed an opinion

By opening my mind

I got past the confusion

Without getting left behind

*

My thoughts are with the people

And the best case scenario

But how the Hell would I know?

I’m just a guy with an opinion

*

I’m sharing my opinion

To see if it is fine

I’m ranked like our union

Has crossed all of the lines

*

What’s your opinion?

I truly care

Still for many moments

I am unaware

*

You matter to me

We should be free

To say how we feel

Without breaking the deal

**

We don’t always

Share the same opinion

But we can

Release the tension

Pay attention

With one opinion

We respect

Everything

The life we lead

And love we bring

*

With one opinion

About everything

that we ever want or need

And everyone

we listen to

Forever without greed

Just the love we bring

So that we always will believe

**

It’s okay to have an opinion

If we keep an open mind

We can create a new conclusion

Where no one gets left behind

*

My thoughts are with the people

And a complete equity

You ask, “How the Hell would he know?”

“He’s just a guy with an opinion”

*

I’m stating my opinion

It’s better to be kind

All life can form a union

It starts in our own mind

***

Not so far away I see the rain

As we head out on a walk

I hope that we can stay dry and sane

I just want to stroll and talk

There’s so many topics we can find

I know that you can read my mind

I’m thinking about something life-saving

Down the path we weave and wind

Aiming to ease our quiet craving

**

What we need is what we want

On this infinite and thoughtful jaunt

Why hide our ideas when they are

as good as any?

Any time

Any place

Thinking of many

Undertow or overflow

We crave the sun

We crave the rain

We crave to get back

To the pure and plain

And find beauty in life again and again

**

All over us now

We feel the rain

As we head back on our walk

I know that we will never be sane

We live, challenge

And Love our crazy talk

We are thirsty for

knowledge we find

I know that you can read my mind

I’m thinking about

something life-saving

Down the path we can still be kind

Calmly speak

Our undying statement

**

A cloudburst is like our expression

With many contributing factors

Simple flowing rain 

Sent by mountain tops

Triumphs to avoid disasters

*

Sunshine to

warm us right up

Reflection and agreement

ever after

Turning stern looks into

smiles and progress

Serious thoughts for sure

Also freedom

To share laughter

**

Sometimes I love to hear the rain

And hold my head up on a walk

It shows in how we react what is sane

Expectation determines how we talk

There’s so many events we can find

I know that you can read my mind

I’m thinking about something life-saving

Follow the path we learn through time

With purely kind insight behaving

***

Constructive optimism

How about some of that?

We need people to open their eyes

And for a good outcome get on track

*

Positivity is great

To encourage a better day

But we also have to make it work

In a legit proactive way

*

Design steps

Walk the path

Talk to the people

Double check

Do the math

Find ways to reach out

And climb up this steep hill

**

Productive optimism

How about some more of that?

We need people to realise

For more good outcomes

Faith should be intact

*

Objectivity is great

To discover the truth of the day

But we also need

Good insight to find the sun

when the sky is grey

*

Define steps

Walk them fast

Talk to the people

Double check

So we all

Get past

Find ways to reach through

Until we all feel well

**

So many ways to have good days

If we plan them

And stand for them

Like seeing

Sunshine through a haze

We can find the silver lining

And realise inherent goodness

As optimism pays

**

Effective optimism

How do we get some of that?

We need more people to arrive

At better outcomes

And start to have the knack

*

Sensitivity is great

When we’re feeling

as strong as the day

We all have soft hearts

Sometimes we need

A tough skin

For things to be okay

*

Align steps

Walk them last

Talk to the people

Double check

That we all can pass

Find ways to reach out far

And the energy will feel real

**

So many ways

to have good days

If we plan them

And understand them

By filling lifetimes

with more praise

We can create more peace of mind  

To facilitate essential goodness

As optimism pays

***

I say so many things

I can’t say what matters most

I’m chasing down a metaphor

I’m chasing down a ghost

The world eats us whole

We all have one soul

For health & energy

We make our plans

Words play a massive role

If only we could meet

All the world’s demands

Everyone’s demands

**

I say so many things

I can’t say what matters most

I’m chasing down the horizon

I’m chasing down the coast

The sun is our only goal

We all have one soul

For health and energy

We take our stand

Words play a realistic role

If only we could reach

All the world’s demands

Everyone’s demands

**

I can’t stand

All the demands

Where are all the supplies?

It’s getting out of hand

*

We’ve been hypnotised

I wouldn’t be surprised

If they were all disguised

Designing a new brand

Of supply and demand

*

Supply and demand

Maybe it’s all been planned

We can try to understand

It’s completely out of hand

**

I say so many things

I can’t say what matters most

I’m chasing down my poetry

I’m chasing down the next post

But this bridge has a sky-high toll

We all have one soul

For health and energy

We form a band

Words play a massive role

If only we could beat

All the world’s demands

Everyone’s demands

**

No one can really stand

All the demands

Where are all the supplies?

It’s way too out of hand

*

Faith may seem wise

So we reach up to the skies

Either way we’re criticised

For reaching out our hand

Just for supply or demand

*

Supply and demand

Maybe it’s all been planned

Now we strive to understand

But it’s totally out of hand

***

We take exception to detail.

If we shift context

And put ourselves

in different crowds

locations

or maybe

just different times and paradigms of the day

we may find judgement change

YET the exception

if held up

(even just to stand by our first decision)

can greatly impact another’s life

*

I try to keep my perspective flexible

and appreciate details

that may change due to shifts in context.

I try to stick to a perspective

when it benefits the most.

To me, this is the ultimate detail:

Is it beneficial?

I work to look for validity and reliability

before making decisions.

*

Significant details?

Surprising moments

From many perspectives

My own

And leading to that of others

My shock to perceptions

Leads to behaviour

that surprises

It’s never been devastating

It’s often been

Healing and productive

For me it’s about learning to adapt

To perspectives and perception

*

Through consideration, I’ve learned ways

of interpreting perception and perspective

that seem to be more beneficial

to the most possible,

also including myself.

Really?!  You ask.

How?

By angling my decisions in favour of this goal.

I remain open to this,

as opposed to greed or hate:

*

Yes, details trigger reactions

such as beliefs or behaviours.

We can guide reactions by preparing

for the most collectively beneficial outcome.

We will encourage this,

even if we don’t see each detail

to its greatest potential,

by being open & primed

to make enough difference.

/5

When time slows down

We may shiver with cold

And freeze solid

as gears lock up

for eternity

A chain of events

Screeches to a halt

And we collect our thoughts

Yesterday lurches forward

Memories greasing

Our mental machinery

As pistons of today begin to fire

Over and over

Clockwork processing

**

Meaningless measures of wealth

glistened like icicles

They no longer exist

We won’t put faith in material possessions

that have no actual value in life

besides fulfilling a fleeting fancy

and then creating scenery

that keeps us company

as if to distract us while others suffer

**

I cherish my scenery

I love my wasteful hours

until I think of them as such

We all need rest and comfort,

Cool things

With balance we can make more effort

to be the difference,

especially if that’s how we make a living

We all should do that.

Today? Lazy Poetry/prose?

Tweets.  Peace

***

I hope that heaven will save us

With eternal glory

But if it is eternal

What’s this part of the story?

*

What about right now?

Aren’t we part of forever?

If heaven is infinite

I sometimes feel severed

**

I hope that Hell disappears

No more hard times or horror 

We won’t miss the hard times

Good moods don’t get boring

*

What makes good times good?

Is it how we compare?

And if Hell is somewhere else

Why does today seem unfair?

**

Oh my F’n god

You can’t be serious

With this stuff going on

Purgatory is clear to us

Neglect and abuse should not be a thing

End Hell on Earth

Heaven is something we bring

*

It makes me furious

Where’s the humanity?

They act oblivious

About our plan’s simplicity

Just be kind

How much more clear

can it be?

**

Look in love’s face

Create a safe space

And share the world’s grace

*

Work

To be nice, instead of clash

Sacrifice, instead of stash

Crawl

For the benefit of all

Allow ourselves to fall

In love with the world

*

Sprawl to make the save

Don’t sweep our duty under the rug

Heaven lands and Hell will fade

The balance is best

When we try enough

**

I hope that our world improves

From today to tomorrow 

What we’ve learned from the past

For the future we borrow

*

We will give it all back

We share our time, our treasure 

If heaven is for everyone 

We must work together
