Reason Always Flows Best

When I think about some situations

The ideas that the people there have

are so vile and abhorrent

*

If I just take a breath

with them around

Their style stinks

smelling pungent

*

Meanwhile they think

that all their ideas

Are quite intelligent

And they are all hell-bent

On superiority

**

They would rather be the boss

Than work on goals together

They would rather be in charge

Than learn ways

To be more clever

*

So now we spin our wheels

Because of what they feel

*

Dynamics

of their strategies

never lead to progress

A future built with card houses

Still they think they know best

**

When I think about some situations

The ideas that the people here have

are hiding and prevented

*

If I can get a breath

And peace is found

Our style links

Other tangents

*

Meanwhile we think

that all our ideas

Are quite intelligent

and they are all hell-bent

From inferiority

*

We have all paid the cost

and now work on goals together

We would rather live life large

And share ways

to achieve much better

*

When we dig in our heels

On what we all feel

*

Dynamics

of our strategies

Instead lead to progress

Future is built with fair logic

Reason always flows best

***

Something or Someone

Why do we fall?

*

The world seems large

And I am small

*

We are people

Thinking beings

With different perspectives

And different ways of approaching the world

*

We find equity when we balance

**

Don’t misjudge me

When I need

someone to talk to

Bold with care

And on the same wavelength

*

Certainly not risking

any rage-fest

Cruel and hurtful

with misunderstanding

*

I never attempt to

Nor would I ever

Cross that line

*

My expressions are stagnant

And you read into appearance

*

I don’t mean to be forward

Not improving one expression

*

I am here just being me

Not disrespectful

*

Connecting

To help love live

**

I am eager to get your opinion

*

Keen to be on the level

Sharing a smile

And a laugh

Finding innocence

*

Feeling strength

just to connect to humanity

*

All I see

I cherish and

imagine to be

Pure 

So that we will succeed

And be happy in our days

*

Thinking what we want to think

Nothing hurts progress

If we balance all of our life

By sharing constructive ideas

*

Building up to the rest of the day

For moments with what we say

*

Unguarded

We stay cool

In seconds together

*

In the next frame of time

Minutes, hours, days or years

We might be alone

**

I try to get things done

For the people that

I will share my time with

*

Sometimes the world stands still

And somehow we suffer

*

I see new ways forward

But they won’t always last

*

I want to get to the point

*

Time feels slow

Yet grows fast

**

Peace and love versus

War and hate

*

I’m above the wait

I know this is a process

*

Charge ahead to get past

Under the weight

*

Unburdened

When we make some progress

**

I’m above the hate

We need a peaceful protest

*

We may want evil smashed

On top of the hate

*

We learn sense

To embrace the most blessed

*

That part of all of us

*

We are always forgetting

*

Something or someone

***

Marathon

And then we hit the wall

Uncertain of what is beyond

No longer to move forward

Until the barrier is gone

*

Will I put on the brakes, first?

I won’t crash into mistakes

So I have to take my time

I won’t be fooled by the fakes

**

Will the door open

to new places?

Will I see all new faces

or meet up with those

I know from before

Some that want nothing

Some I can’t ignore

Try to love all

I love some way more

*

Do I have to go over the top

To save the world that won’t stop

Or meet up with those

That don’t know the score

Some that do nothing

Have some news in store

Try to love all

Love some so much more

**

And then we break the wall

So certain of the new dawn

No longer to fall backwards

When the barrier is gone

*

Can I put on the gas, now?

I will find a way to get past

So I will just take my time

And find good days that will last

***

Close to Angels

Eloquent distance rages in the sea

Stay close to angels

above you and me

Waves rolling

in pure symmetry

Crashing forever

A new life heaves

Hauling the past

Spirit outcast

Stretching

Reaching

Feeling out from the sea

*

We are always

Near to the world that we need

Shore of life

That we can believe

**

Divergent pathways

Racing through the sky

Stay close to angels

above you and I

Clouds rolling and a bird flies by

Hatching forever

A new life glides

Soaring so fast

Spirit outlasts

The moment

Almighty

Fresh as light in the sky

*

We are always

Wise to the day that will shine

Heights of life

That we can describe

**

Tell me what you imagine

Try to put it into words

The more we talk about it

The more our voice is heard

Create chances

to share a vision 

So all of our perspectives

are understood

*

Try to be clear

Share an image that is good

*

If you are diving for the answer

Or swooping in to pick it up

We may start to get a lock on

when we communicate enough

*

Or drift by ourselves

Float on our own thought

Imagine forever soothes

Our battles are hard-fought

*

If we can prove the value

And freedom never stops

Our life will flow

With all we know

Currents with

the strongest vision

Can rocket to the top

**

Elements of life

Phases of the land

Stay close to angels

above all humans

Hills rolling

Trees and buildings stand

Matching forever

The new life plans

Sprawling so vast

Spirits surpass

Distances

Uncanny

Grand mountains in the land

*

We will always

Span the earth

that we understand

Branches of life

Ranges of Elements

That we can expand

***

More Than Enough

I knock myself down

Then I pick myself up

And turn the key

I must be in luck

More than enough

*

Calm and ready

Always steady

Breaking through the atmosphere 

I have no fear

We are getting closer

The future’s near

We are all here

**

I talk till I come down

Then I climb back up

Got to be free

We want to have trust

More than enough

*

Calm and threading

Always ahead and

Breaking through the

Silky sheer

The connection’s clear

We are adding more

To the seam’s veneer

We are all here

*

I hold you dear

**

I hold you close

I want you near

You mean the most

I am sincere

Every day

We will find the way

We will get there

We will start here

**

It’s shocking to be down

Fierce storms when we look up

Can’t help but see

There’s trouble above

More than enough

***

Fast Talk

Trash talk

That’s all you got

When we

could be talking with reason

*

Respect and restraint

Appear very faint

We need warmth

But your attitude is freezing

**

Not like I am a saint

But the picture we paint

Better off without hiding

Or one-sided denying

Erase the mean taint defining

Get back to the top of our hearts

And best of our brains

So solutions together keep breathing

**

Cash talk

That’s all you want

When we

could talk with more compassion 

*

Reflect on feelings 

In daily dealings

We need health

But dollar signs are your ration

**

Not like we are stealing

Instead we are kneeling 

Best off not to be hiding

But one-side’s still denying

Erase the mean deal defining

Get back to the top of our goals

A shared cause appeals

So solutions together keep healing

**

Fast talk

That’s all we get

We can talk with consideration

*

Reject the rushing

Then life’s less crushing

Find calm first

Then together

share elation

***

This Time

My work here is done

As I ride into the sun

Then inside my head

Start a new project instead

*

Something to do

To help improve

This time

*

Now my work has just begun

And the future weighs a ton

But I sure can’t lose my head

I’ll just take my time instead

*

Find things to do

To help improve

This time

**

Make sense of it all

I hope it turns out fine

The world is intense over all

I have to draw the line

Ease my mind

Make my causes

Well-defined

*

Stand for

Plan for

ways to get

through the grind

All the time

I rest or play

Still work to shine

And find more ways

to be more kind

And love my life, in this time

**

My work here is fun

I live for the Earth and sun

I follow this thread

Through strong respect I am led

*

These things I do

To help improve

This time

***

All Over Town

He will never amount to anything

And if he starts to

We will hack him down

*

The whole story

has never been told

It hasn’t been told

All over town

*

Gossip, lies

and the rumour factory

The echoing sounds

Never set me free

*

But when I belief in myself

I can let it be

Be more free

And

See as far as the eye can see

**

Loss of life for some in society

They only know the ground

They are never free

*

But if we believe in ourselves

We can help them be

Be more free

And

Take more charge as we try to see

*

See the whole picture

No longer incomplete

And do something

For God’s sake

To help out this scene

**

We will all amount to something 

And when we start to

We will never back down

*

The whole story

has never been told

It hasn’t been told

All over town

***

Admit No Fear

Who is on the wavelength?

Who is able

to admire

all the bright souls?

Distant or near

Respect young and old

Look

Listen

They are here

Timid or bold

*

Who is dialed in

and shares these similar goals?

The mission is clear

Find hearts of gold

Admit no fear

And strength takes hold

**

Amazed by the stars

And the grains of sand

Recognizing that time

Is holding our hand

Letting go for moments

And we catch the wind

Taking us further

Until we hold a new time again

**

Who is on the same page?

Who can understand?

Each of us

Is a bright soul

I insist

It’s clear

Constellations of gold

Envision

We are here

Let life take hold

**

Who has planned

so each of us

can share similar goals?

Those distant and near

Life stays young 

Time is old

Admit no fear

Kindness must be bold

***

Life Changes Fast

Beside myself

Next to last

It makes perfect sense

Life changes fast

*

A major undertaking

Understanding is vast

Things aren’t always common sense

Life changes fast

*

For a time we are a child

That time quickly passes

Changing decision-making

As we are programmed in the classes

**

Ahead of myself

I move at last

With my second sense

Life changes fast

*

No other hearts are breaking

Their hearts are planning past

Things aren’t always common sense

Life changes fast

*

Sometimes we are all students

Learning with the masses

Now we are slowly waking

As our current opinion clashes

*

Now the whole world is shaking

Are you ready for a blast?

Things aren’t always common sense

Life changes fast

*

There could be better leaders

Sharing hard-earned free passes

So we can’t be forsaken

And can forget about what cash is

**

Behind myself

Never last

With a better sense

Life changes fast

*

Surround myself

First or last

Always share good sense

Life changes fast
