Much More than Fine (When?)

They can’t see

The plan that could make it all better

The plan for redemption

There is no chance to mention

And that causes tension

It feels so thick in the air

That you could cut it with a knife

It may come down to one life

Actually it comes down to many

*

To many

To all

The responsibility falls

But who will lead the charge?

*

Will there be constant impasses

Between all the classes?

Will we be able to live life large?

**

They can’t see

The plan that could make it all better

The plan for equity

For the country and the city

All empathy

No pity

It feels so fresh in the air

That we could all enjoy this time

It comes right down to one life

Actually it comes down to many

*

What is the push?

What is the drive?

We should work

together to be alive

To enjoy our time

Work for the prime

All that’s real

And on our mind

The prime Future where

efforts for

wellness can align

Gradually improve

Until we are all

Much more than fine

*

For many

For all

The responsibility falls

We all must join the charge

**

When can they see

The plan that could make it all better?

The plan for progress

For the life we protect

More effort

For respect

It feels so real in the air

So we can freely see the sky

We each have only one life

We depend on

And Affect so many

Wind in the Trees

Notice certain branches

swaying

not all of them

but here and there

branches are moving

*

The wind breathes like life

And life flows with the wind

Sometimes hiding in the trees

And then starting up again

**

The sky breathes lightly

**

Observe many green leaves

Trembling

Likely all of them

Everywhere

The leaves are quivering

*

Leaves latching up and down

Forming shapes with the wind

Lines of life connect in the trees

In the summer breeze again

**

All around me

An awareness of a presence

A world

A life

A day to embrace

And achieve a goal

To make a difference 

*

The wind rushes against our faces

Taking us to different places

Charging for the sky

Pushing us to try

To find a way to fly

Connect with all of life

Do our best to make it

The winds of time will never die

**

Notice all the branches

swaying

Now none of them

But just a leaf dances

until they’re all moving again

*

The wind breathes like life

And life flows with the wind

Often winding through trees

And then rising up again

***

Productive Reactive

A low

And reactive individual

Steps up to face the day

Turns out to be a

Keen perceiver

Dream believer

Finds a better way

*

Looking down

When all we see is below

They may

have no where else to go

And sometimes

that is the only thing

that they will ever know

**

Looking up

We discover the new hype

We may think

that we have it right

and sometimes

that is all we know

But there is

somewhere else to go

*

Find it when we

Shake the system

Enjoy what’s

next to the tough times

Harder than the good times

Look at it

as the best we have got

and work to make it better

*

We are who we are

We have our own levels of

Productivity

Reactivity

We can work to make it better

Find ways to enjoy

the pieces of the process

that make it happen

With our senses

and our feelings

Aware of

Beauty and inspiration 

Humour and strength

And calm consideration for others

**

A low

And productive individual

Must face a harder day

It turns out that low class

High achievers

Dream believers

Work only to get paid

*

Looking up

Above high and far below

There can be

no where else to go

While in time

there is so much more to know

***

Carefully Look and Listen (Never a Dull Moment)

There’s never a dull moment

There are daily surprises

Shocks to the system

Like when

something breaks down

Extreme weather hits town

There is a commotion

and now we have to listen

**

We have to look out

Be aware

Be fair

Life is great

When we maintain it

Expect constant change

mistakes causing collisions

and dramatic conclusions

Stay calm

Stay as strong as we can

Life prepares us

Take care

Celebrate

As we sustain it

Pay attention to

how best to explain it

We can never chain it

**

Peace of mind is uncommon

Still with happy sunrises

Months full of vision

Fight till 

Light comes around

Escape trouble inbound

Find total devotion

To one unified mission

**

We have to connect

Be aware

Be fair

Life is ace

If we can frame it

Adapt fast to change

mistakes teaching key lessons

avoid micro-aggressions

Learn calm

Grow as strong as we can

Life prepares us

Take care

Concentrate

As we sustain it

Pay attention to

How reason contains it

Nothing can restrain it

**

Not even dying moments

There are still new sunrises

Brand new thoughts glisten

Like new 

Senses are found

Hold close to new sights and sounds

Breathe through all emotions

Carefully look and listen
