Busy?

It’s been a busy day

Making my way

I’ve got this energy

And hope that it stays

*

When the day is done

Smooth as it could run

We hope that we can rest

Plan tomorrow best

Feel comfort

Have fun

Forever chase the sun

Guided by the stars and moon

Together we have won

**

t’s been a busy day

Work to be paid

I’ve got this energy

And hope that it stays

*

When the day is done

Everything I could run

We hope that we can rest

Plan tomorrow best

Feel comfort

Have fun

Forever chase the sun

Guided by the stars and moon

Together we are strong

**

Busy times

Every day

Busy times

All the way

*

We are getting far

We are moving fast

We try to be smart

So we can make it past

Everything we need

With what we say

Simple statement

Let’s work hard and play

**

It’s been a busy day

Making my way

I’ve got this energy

And hope that it stays

*

When the day is done

We should never have to run

We hope that we can rest

Plan tomorrow best

We find more

To stay strong

Forever chase the sun

Guided by the stars and moon

Together we are one

Perfect Somehow

The air is cool, electrified

Hot chocolate

would be really nice

Walk towards the winter days

Night is right as music plays

No storm hits now

Just calming weather

Perfect somehow

We are together

The trees light up in the breeze

We enjoy

this kind of freeze

**

The lake is glass and shines so bright

An anchored ship

A beacon of light

*

Preparing for our winter days

Night won’t bite as dry we stay

No storm rages now

Just lovely weather

Perfect somehow

We are together

Trees are dark against the skies

We savour shapes with our eyes

**

The path we take

on this Autumn night

Is part of the universe

filled with light

Into the dark void

of the unknown skies

It is all ours

We realize

A glowing warmth

contrasts the cold

A caring friend

Our hand takes hold

When we look so deep

We learn to see

And never forsake

This reality

***

No Other Sound

Bounce bounce bounce

It is in the air

Then It hits the ground

Bounce bounce bounce

It is in the air

Now It it hits the ground

Bounce bounce bounce

There is no other sound

+

I have an idea to share

It is brand new

We should work to be fair

How about a swoosh

*

Bounce bounce bounce

++

Bounce bounce bounce

It is in the sky

Then It hits the ground

Bounce bounce bounce

It is in the sky

Now it hits the ground

Bounce bounce bounce

There is no other sound

*

I have an idea to share

It is just for you

We should work to be fair

Why don’t you shoot?

Bounce bounce bounce

**

There is no angle

That you can’t make

There is no shape

That you can’t take

*

A ball

A thought

Our tires don’t shake

There is no day

that we should waste

**

Bounce bounce bounce

It is in your hands

Then It hits the clouds

Bounce bounce bounce

It is in our hands

Now It it hits the ground

Bounce bounce bounce

There is no other sound

*

I have ideas to share

More than a few

We should work to be fair

How about a truce?

*

Bounce bounce bounce

Saved by the Deep Thoughts

Lost in the moment

I forget the pieces of life

That have

no meaning to me now

I hover above ground

with focus all my own

And push for immediate goals

**

Found are strong feelings

That encourage and entice

They have more meaning to me now

There’s no other love around

That could hope to be known

We rush towards achievable goals

**

One day up

The next day set back

We aim for the sky

To keep the day on track

*

One day down

The next day we get back

We aim for new heights

And to fight the fight

**

Saved by the deep thoughts

I hope for music that defies

It has new meaning to me now

I hear another sound

with immaculate tone

Then they hush for a believable goal

**

One day up

The next day set back

We aim for the sky

To keep the day on track

*

One day down

The next day we get back

We aim for new heights

And to see the light

Our Best Guide

Thinking all the time

Because it is our nature

Awareness is

A fine line

Sometimes

we have to make sure

Thinking all the while

Processing a situation

Can’t be late

We contemplate

Our room, our world, our nation

*

Our people

Our sensation

**

Out there

There is a defining factor

That is relevant to what’s inside

We read a book

Or watch some news

What we perceive is our best guide

*

Sometimes we have to reach

way back

Deep into our brain

We perceive the world

And all we know

But it is the understanding

That helps keep us sane

Or lands us on a specific plane

**

Thinking all the time

Because we are conscious beings

Perception of

A fine line

At times it’s just our feelings

Thinking all the while

Processing a situation 

Can’t be free

Unless we retrieve

The truth, the show, a station

**

Out there

There is a determining factor

That connects to what’s inside

We have a friend

Or a leader

Who we conceive

as our best guide

*

Believe in yourself

Before anyone else

Have faith in your own mind

*

Perceive

Understand

Make your own plans

Be aware

Be strong

Be kind

To others for sure

But especially for yourself

Have faith in your own mind

***

No Filter

Feeling kind of wound up

The hours are extending

I’ve done a lot

I’ve won a lot

It hasn’t come from pretending

*

I’ll tell you something honest

Then I’ll say something more

No guilt is here

Just best intentions

*

I have got no filter

**

No filter

Not hiding any more

Not just going on a hunch

Words coming fast

With more in store

**

Dealing with a mountain

And pathways that are offending

I run a lot

Bright sun a lot

Only good vibes I try sending

*

I’ll tell you something honest

Then I’ll say something more

We build up here

With best intentions

*

I have got no filter

**

No filter

Not spineless any more

Not pulling any punches

Words coming hard

Right from the core

**

Need all my words counting

For the ear you are lending

I stun a lot

They shun a lot

We need more caring never-ending

*

I’ll tell you something honest

Then I’ll say something more

Goodwill is here

My best intentions

*

I have got no filter

**

No filter

Not blinded any more

No bold BS in bunches

Words coming clear

Can’t be ignored

**

No filter

Not minding anymore

No lies

Ideas crunching

Words come

Storming through my door 

***

Try to Shine

The timing is impeccable

It seems almost transcendental

Every time the sky opens up

My world

seems more dependable

*

Anyone else might lose their mind

I try so hard to explain it

Meaningful connection

Space and time

How can I

Easily frame it?

*

Beyond chance

It happens

again and again

And there’s no way

we can tame it

*

If it’s not one thing

It’s something else

I have decided

I have to claim it

**

My world

Your world

Our world

Theirs

Longing gaze

Or creepy glares

*

No matter how you look at it

Nothing else compares

No one ever

Tries to explain it

It seems like no one cares

*

Is it out of place?

Or out of time?

Meaningless?

Or meaning prime?

*

Maybe folks don’t care at all

Because they can’t

Connect the line

But when it’s always

Up in my face

I guess I have to call it mine

**

My world

Your world

Our world

Theirs

When it phases

No one shares

*

No matter how you look at it

Nothing else compares

No one ever

Tries to explain it

It seems kind of unfair

*

Is it just me?

Visions just mine?

Meaningful?

Or meaning grinds?

*

Maybe folks don’t notice at all

Because they can’t

See the design

But when it always

Helps me keep pace

I guess I will

Try to shine

***

Shared Understanding

There is nowhere to turn

Without having to learn

There is no way

that we can fake it

Our minds will always yearn

For more fuel to burn

There’s no way

that we can’t take it

What we retain

Can keep us sane

It’s best not to forsake it

But sometimes complex code

And info overload

Create a world

where it’s hard to make it

*

Go over the bridge

Or take the bypass

They think I’m a glitch

Because they are high class

I’m middle of the road

While I’m under I float

My word can’t be heard

They assume it’s absurd

They blindly pass judgement

Not knowing what love’s meant

They don’t care at all

So their main thought

is simply, “Why ask?”

*

Why not?

I return

Before I even hear their next remark

They had said it and meant it

Now it seems like I’m the shark

But the simple meaning remains

It turns out, it isn’t dark

The truth is

Sometimes we have to ask

*

And then we get a response

Solutions can be stark

We can all share way more heart

If synergy is a fire

Shared understanding is a spark

***

Direction to Taste

Sideways looks

Show off sideways angles

Life can have different tangles

Some are sweet

And some are sour

Life has flavours that overpower

*

Look again

Before you devour

Time must be ready

So, check the hour 

**

Forward language

Spells out forward progress

Life can pull back

in fast protest

Some is sweet

And some is bitter

Love can be a heavy-hitter

*

Say it again

Your words we devour

Listen so steady

It gives us power

**

It will be okay

When we work together

Life can become great

Our Earth will stay

**

Uplifting care

Creates uplifting spirit

Life needs

More strong support near it

Some are sweet

And some are salty

A true love is never faulty

*

Caring again

Past pain that devours

Find spirit steady

Inspiration showers

**

Backwards thinking

Leads to backward actions

Life needs logic

To get traction

Some is sweet

And some is sweeter

Life needs

more honest leaders

*

Think again

With insight devour

The world is ready

Good sense must tower

**

It will be alright

When we work together

It will be fine

the sun will shine

***

The Meaning?

The meaning of life

Depends on who you ask

We want the most out of it

It can happen very fast

For another if might seem

 to last forever

Some may find themselves alone

Some stay

very close together

Some are not well known

Some may set out

on a more famous endeavor

**

Conscious beings

Cling to meaning

Perception, cognition

Emotion and feeling

*

Conscious moments

can be dreamy

Subjective premonitions

Devoted and healing

*

Thinking freely therefore I am

Pain and suffering are a scam

Comfort and joy

should be more common

Might see a physician

Might see a shaman

**

Life can be nice

Or life can be scary

The meaning of life

will often vary

*

One day I will be

in a super great mood

Have a safe place to stay

and have some good food

Another day I will be

down in a hole

Working just to survive

A beleaguered soul

**

Life can be alright

Sometimes just barely

The meaning of life can be treated unfairly

*

The meaning of life

Depends on who you are

We can not generalize

We can only go so far

Plants, animals and humans

share life together

We feel one way in our home

But different out in the weather

When the seeds are sewn

When we think about it

No one can be that clever
