Better by Design

I can anticipate the best of times

We have to know what is on the line

Real as life

We must be wise

Our day is defined

By our own design

*

It is real

This big deal

What we feel

Supplying my soul and mind again

*

It feels like I’m right on time

**

I am situated at the edge of time

I do not know who is on the line

Real as life

They must be wise

Our day is defined

By all their design

*

Is it real

This big deal

What we feel

Now finding our soul and mind again

I feel like we need more time

**

Just the other day

As I was talking on the line

I remembered

a main goal in life

is to help

our ideas combine

So we can all feel fine

Better by design

*

Real strong every day

We are always

walking down the line

How could I forget

a main goal in life

Is to help

our paths combine

So we can all feel fine

Better by design

**

We can fluctuate like the rest of times

We have to know where to draw the line

Real as life

We must be wise

Our day is defined

By all our design

*

It is real

This big deal

What we feel

Dividing our soul and mind again

*

I just want to heal

I can always deal but

I don’t want to feel

like I’m out of time

***

Pursue a Mood of Strength and Hope

We all know enough

To know much better

We try to stay tough

Just so we can get along

*

We think that it is rough

But we are real go-getters

Aim to stay above troubles

Find ways to be strong

**

Find an understanding mood

Work to get past all of the indifference

With it’s huge magnitude

I strive to

Never get lost in

Another deeply anxious mood

Or reach total exhaustion

No one should

fear not having food

Higher-ups should show compassion

And not cash-in on

a bad attitude

**

We all know enough

To know much better

We can’t push and shove

As we join in with the throng

*

We gravitate to love

But we aren’t big-time betters

Gamble on social bubbles

To help us get along

**

Find the hope that we pursued

By avoiding other interference

We expect to be rescued

And strive to never get lost again

I’ve reached peace that I pursued

There seems to be no question 

No wicked nightmares to intrude 

Now there’s no more apprehension

Hope

helps us ascend

To good attitude

**

We all know enough

To know much better

Try for peace and love

And learn to tell

Right from wrong 

*

We work to stay above

Both calm and churning waters

I always check the levels

Then dive

Into a song

**

Get up another time

Find calm be kind

Stay cool in our mind

It’s real

*

Find strength at any length

And with every design

Find the hope

That we need to feel

*

It’s right

At heights

To see what is wrong

We all know enough

To know much better

*

For what’s fair:

Stay tough

The days go on and on

Find hope

It’s scope

Makes us

much stronger

Together

***

One Step Forward

One step forward

Two steps back

Until we get ahead

And get on track

*

What is the reward?

A major stack?

If we get ahead

And we can keep it on track

*

Right down to the line

We should be feeling fine

So long as we

Aim to get us all forward

**

One step forward

Don’t look back

Until we are all set

And we stay on track

*

What do I prefer

Cut me some slack?

If we can get set

We will always be on track

*

Have a better time

Aim to always be kind

Stay so strong as 

We both have another word

**

I want to say

Right now today

We should work to move

Towards

The on track

No flack

True fact that

we would do well to push

Forward to increase 

The average quality of life

It just seems wise

No attack

Just strong back

Quick hack 

Until we get

Back on track

With everyone we Love

***

One Shared Cause

It is a sign of the times

Just like everything else

Each day we live

means so much more

Today it is the middle of winter

It is a very fine line

And the time always tells

Like waves crash and clean the vast shore

Today driftwood is starting to splinter

1

Flowers start to bloom

With a warm sun at noon

It’s too early

It’s too soon

They just may never make it

With another frost

They will not take it

But they have grown fast

Like it’s the last

Days before June

But March has not yet been crossed

2

Powers charge the moon

With the bright sun in tune

We can’t worry

We must move

While the light is baking

With no other cost

Than time it is taking

It passes so fast

The warm weather lasts

Coyotes croon

For them no time is lost

3

It is a sign of the times

Just like anything else

Each day we live

means so much more

Today we want to feel like a winner

It is a very fine line

And the time always tells

Like wind crashes and closes the back door

There’s no one that should go without dinner

4

Showers will resume

By evening we presume

It’s so early

It seems soon

But we are still glad to take it

The weather is boss

We can not fake it

But time has flown fast

Leaving the past

Days are in tune

No moment is ever lost

5

Future fills the spoon

With nothing we assume

We can’t hurry

We must move

While the world is shaking

Without a fair pause

There is no mistaking

Something

We should ask

How can we surpass

Everything we do

To create one shared cause?

/6

Open Minds

Positive flow

that we should know

May be disrupted

by what’s on the go

What is happening

With our highs and lows

Turns out much better

When we are composed

*

Hitting the ceiling

Or dealing with downtime

Goes off much better

When we get around fine

**

Can’t take it for granted

Reach out your hand and

Help out others

Help ourselves

Share our health

Share our wealth

*

Just that one effort

Can make

All the difference in the world

To us or them

*

Sometimes we don’t know

How much difference

We can make

With what’s on the go

Just try to pull us up higher

If we get too low

**

When it’s all for show

And we all know

If we can not love

All that’s on the go

And what’s happening 

With our highs and lows:

Make it much better

Open minds that close

***

No One Gets Left Behind

The tree of life holds light in the night

Beyond is more light

We can reach it in one glance

*

But when the night grows cloudy

Or the season has it shrouded

We may falter on our path

*

When we find the path is crowded

It stands us up

And someone shouted

“The morning brings the sun”

**

It seems

Faith can be a slippery slope

But truth is

when we hold it

Real light shines

Dangers melt

And won’t be felt

If we push all of our time

And our world becomes more kind

No matter what

Sooner or later

We find our peace of mind

When others help us

And they tell us

“No one gets left behind”

***

Humanity

Build up our causes

Make life accessible 

No more futile losses

That are incomprehensible 

*

We are all feeling beings

Each one of us is important

The ones that can’t see that

Need to know

More than they do right now

They need more empathy

*

We should

get to the heart of the matter

And be all that we can be

And not be held back

by those that refuse to see

We are all humanity

***

Spirit is Not Fake

Sometimes people

just do not care

They remain largely unaware

Of our efforts and intentions

They choose not to compare

The way that they are living

The social front

That they have prepared

With ways of life

That are more giving

And that truly are more fair

*

They think that being kind is square

And just do not want to share

**

They think that

being nice makes you weak

That it’s not cool

Their outlook’s bleak

All of our efforts and intentions 

They choose to harshly tweak

Yet the way that they are living

Their social front

Is just a peek

Of what’s inside

That they are giving

They are much more scared and meek

*

They think that being mean

has mystique 

Yet of humanity won’t speak

**

Sometimes people act this way

The same people

that think that way

They don’t give less fortunate folks a say

And they think that it’s okay

Because they have got it made

And don’t want anything to interfere

With their

decadent good cheer

*

But those

with less quality of life

Contribute to humanity

With every breath they take

Spirit is not fake

There is greed that we must shake

And share the health

Share the wealth we make

***

Thoughts in Time

Some say that we should never look back

But how are we going to learn?

And how can we focus

just on the present

When the future is

an ongoing concern?

*

Sure, sometimes I hate to think

Of chances I missed

Or mistakes that I once made

But it can give me the best chance

To get ahead right now

And make sure all those debts are paid

*

And sometimes I’m so worried

About tomorrow

I don’t want to feel more pain

But if I eliminate doubt

And plan better right now

I will never have to complain

**

We live in the now

We should learn from the past

And plan

for the best possible future

*

We make it some how

Start slow and get fast

Every day is this superstar’s new tour

**

Some say that we should never look back

But how are we going to learn?

And how can we focus

just on the present

When the future is

an ongoing concern?

*

Sure sometimes I have to think

Of chances I missed

And mistakes that I once made

But it can give me the best chance

To get ahead right now

Then, somehow those memories fade

*

And sometimes

I’m still worried

About tomorrow

I don’t want to feel more pain

But if I eliminate doubt

And plan better right now

My efforts will not be in vain

**

We live in the now

We should learn from the past

And plan

for the best possible future

*

We make it some how

Make good moments last

Every day is this true healer’s new cure

Whispering Gratitude and Compassion

Polarizing situation

We are up or down

*

Maximizing Gratitude

Makes the world go round

*

When we

take our lives for granted

Things can grind to a total stop

Emotions without understanding

Can run wild

like a spinning top

Devotion without compassion 

Is like a game ball

that we have dropped

**

We make mistakes 

That may not even be our fault

We are who we are

A human  A star

It can be best 

To take it all

with a grain of salt

*

Dissolve the blame

And build understanding

Share our sugar

If we all want candy 

**

Share the truth

that makes life better

Say it out loud

Or send a letter

A song 

A poem

A word

That’s clever

For peace and love

For now

Forever

**

Quite surprising situation

We are up or down

*

Maximizing attitude

Makes a certain sound

*

When all

of our seeds are planted 

Then our hard work may briefly stop

Emotions with

more understanding

Can grow well

like a nurtured crop

Devotion with more compassion 

Brings good energy

that never stops
