Cryptically
Then
Shockingly
Powerful
Images
Words
Dysphoric
Euphoric
Or somewhere between
We question reality
Clouds sink
Onto the surface of a lake
Forgetting their origin
Wanting to dive below
Yet eventually rising
***

A situation amounts to nothing

Yet single moments

are under pressure

The weight of focus

can rise or fall

It all depends on

how we measure

**

When I stop to think about it

Past situations come into focus

We develop strength

from being aware

*

In the future we are stronger

*

Some moments

become insignificant

Though we once really cared

**

Some memories can be effective

for keeping us prepared

So our good moods

will last longer

like better days we share

**

A situation amounts to nothing

yet single moments

we may treasure

The weight of focus

can rise or fall

Try breathing calm

at work and leisure

***

I am a human being

Doing all my stuff

Isn’t that enough?

*

Decisions to be made

Why should we hesitate?

Sometimes we might get rough

Deciding can be tough

*

But when they don’t take the time

And then make it

by lumping people into

unfair categories

Twisting our words

messing with our heads

They are the one’s

that should be more sorry

**

I am a moving machine

Just doing my best

Why another test?

*

Provisions should be made

Try to anticipate

Sometimes we get a rest

Providing they say yes

*

But when people waste all our time

Or break it

by always refusing their responsibility

Shifting the blame

Calling our name

They are the one’s who need more honesty

**

We are all human beings

Life is very tough

If we don’t get enough

*

Our visions don’t need shade

Help spirits elevate

If we seem way too rough

First try viewing all this stuff

***

Patiently waiting on

More friends and my future

Waiting on foes to

change their plans

and their humour

*

Friends

that may not be true friends yet

Because we don’t interact

And we haven’t even met

We don’t laugh together

Just maybe in parallel

We may have

a space between us

That is tougher than Hell

**

Tough new worlds to get through 

Locked doors and more detours

To get through to

Keep all our plans

and to be sure

*

Doors

that may not be open yet

And there is no clear path

There is only one safe bet

We should work together

Just maybe in parallel

When we have

The time between us

We should make ourselves well

**

Patiently waiting on

More friends and my future

Waiting on foes to

change their minds

and their rumours

*

Foes

that may not be true foes

Check?

Because we don’t interact

And we haven’t even met

We don’t live together

Just maybe in parallel

We may have

a space between us

That is tougher than Hell

**

Tough new worlds to create 

Open minds that stay pure

To get through

In hopes to find

more inclusive cures

***

Do you have tomorrow?

Do you have today?

Make up our mind about everything

So we can have our say

Faster than fireworks

Hotter that summer sun rays

*

Speak our mind

And try to find

Joy that has ways of staying

**

Do you have tomorrow?

We made plans yesterday 

Make up your mind about

This time for sure

So we can make our play

Better than the finest perks

That encourage workers to stay

*

Use our mind

To have a good time

Our bodies keep us paying

**

How we conceive our days

Defines them

How we perceive them

Outlines them

What we achieve with every breath we breathe

Helps us believe and refine them

**

Do you have to borrow?

Or do you have today?

Make up our mind about everything

So we can show the way

Complex like a kind smirk

Simple like calm time and space

*

Open our mind

And we can find

Peace in vibes

we are creating

*

Actualization is awaiting

In a moment of grace

***

When we are at a different level

We act and think differently 

So basic needs

are most surely met

If we can get

what we need to get

And have a safety net

*

If the fix is in

And big money wins

That’s just incomprehensible

It depends where we land or fall

But we should

Save everyone we can

Above all

Love all

**

Understandable?

Total power corrupts

How do we fill our cups?

Greed takes over

Oblivious to all

I’m out for myself

And no one else

Because that gets better results

Then I take a step back

And see the facts

Just look at suffering that attacks

Anyone everyday

We can share

better ways

**

If we want to lead

We have to read

the writing on the wall

*

Fear and hate or

Peace and love

It is what we believe

Sometimes it’s obvious

But In some ways

it’s not up to us

**

We have to act

on what we perceive

Work hard and rest easy

Make sure it is as alright

as it could ever be

Reach for us

And for what we can achieve

**

When I am on another level

I act and think differently 

So basic plans

are most surely set

So we can get

what we need to get

And only make safe bets

*

If the fix is in

And if a bad day wins

I guess that’s understandable

But imagine if we ran it all

We would save

everyone we can

Above all

Love all

***

Real time truth

Is so confused

Unless we start to be objective

*

Ways to soothe

Are what I choose

But views of health

can be selective

*

Some other people’s

health may be ill

and there is nothing I can do

So I do things

in my own best interest

Until there’s a fair chance

to reach out to you

**

Real time truth

Is under-used

Until we start to be objective

*

Ways to soothe

That we should choose

Can be for health

But too subjective 

*

Another person’s

health may worsen

Yet there is nothing that I do

Until I do everything

in my power

And take the best chance

to reach out to you

**

Real time truth

The actual news

Not filtered through

the biased lenses

*

If ways to soothe

are what we choose

We should not be so

apprehensive

*

Many more people’s

health could be well

and there is something we can do

If we do things

in everyone’s interest

and take

every chance

To reach out for you

***

The uncertainties 

That will never be known

The connections

that never happen

that are best left alone

*

The safe bets well-played

That hit the ground running

Connections

that make it all happen

So the outcome is stunning

*

A connection exists

We do our best

For what makes sense

**

It can corrode

And short out

Ot we can help it stay clean

Like a strong flowing river

Or a glacier-fed stream

*

It can implode

Or explode

We can improve the scene

like a top-of-the-line

smooth-running machine

**

The uncertainties

That come to be known

The connections

that tend to happen

when truth starts to be shown

*

The fair bet you made

Now sweeter than honey

Good connections

make it all happen

and keep a strong world running

*

A connection exists

We do our best

For what makes sense

***

I am digging in my heels

And clenching my teeth 

*

I start a new argument

Solid ground is beneath

*

It is out of this world

At first you might not believe

*

But with my feet firmly planted

I have a story to weave

**

The patterns in nature

and even on the wall

May seem intense and intricate

Or bland and dull

it is totally your call

*

Sometimes reality

catches my eye

Or sometimes it can be something I hear

It connects my soul to my life

Different worlds to my time

Life’s meaning starts

becoming more clear

**

The minutes of my day

Sun and rain that will fall

May seem intense and intricate

Some fall in love

and some can’t stand it at all

*

Sometimes reality

Makes sense to my mind

Or sometimes it can be something I fear

It connects my soul to my life

Different worlds to my time

Life’s meaning starts

becoming more clear

**

If I dig in my heels

And grit my teeth 

*

I see the new argument

With nothing beneath

*

It is out of this world

But I have to believe

*

With my perspective so slanted

It’s about what I perceive

***

Every angle

Has a tangle

Crushing down on me

*

Facing my fears

Changing my gears

Touches the sky for me

*

Intense perception

Has protection

Rushing all around me 

*

It has to be

What it means to me 

*

Perspective is reality

**

A mood can lead us to

misunderstood actions

And we can lose traction

In how we relate

Or how we debate

With our narrow motivation 

*

Irrevocable words

That should not be heard

are waiting at the station

*

They might seem sure

But may not be pure

Despite wicked concentration 

*

If we feel insecure

And the timing seems poor

We find

True grace in hesitation

*

But for any length of time

If we have a balanced mind

*

It’s usually best to speak up

And address the situation

**

Every angle

Has words that dangle

Gushing if set free

*

Haste can bring tears

Strength always steers

Pushing the ground past me

*

A clear reflection 

Will pass inspection 

Or just steep in mystery

*

It has to be

What it means to me

*

Perspective is reality
