All pretty and ugly
And from out of this world
A magnet for attention
By a perceptive bird
*
My indignation when you mention that you have never heard
My armour is like imagination
My image is a word
*
Person to person
Creature to life
Life to creature
I seem speechless?
I am just takng your advice
*
Silence for a few moments
We crawl before our soul flight
to experience other places
And here right now
To experience life
See many faces
Only with grace can we keep this pace
To live the life that we all deserve

All gritty and hungry
For what’s left of this world
A guaranteed devotion
To life, be reassured

One image
One moment
One event in the day

Can change everything
For better or worse

Either way

Sometimes I get the feeling that

I will be in the same mood forever

Then life happens     And I realize
My mood is like the weather

Sunshine can seem glorious
A relaxing warmth that’s brave  

Not Fearing

Clear skies can mean more to us
Grey clouds and rain can seem so dreary

But the sun can be too hot for us
Sometimes we need the rain
And wind can be refreshing
Or like a hurricane

Sometimes our mood stays balanced

With impressive resilience      

We face continuous change

Sometimes the more that it changes

The more that it stays the same

A fiery sun  

A sphere that bursts

through cold clouds and wet rain

Light dances on raindrops

A spectrum of colours

A sun-shower

Our mood is our weather vane

One image
One moment
One event in the day can change everything

We are immersed all the way

This time it is the real thing

I will be in the same mood forever

Then life happens

Now I realize that

My mood is like the weather

Optimistic poem?

Why not? Think positive

Have gratitude. Be aware of challenges and tough times.

Do our best to be alright more of the time.

---

Oh yes we are …
so for sure …
going to be alright
Just by
Holding tight
Each day in sight
We are so for sure
going to be alright
*
Confess I am …
to be sure …
usually alright
Just to
Fight the fight
Each day stay tight
To be sure I am
usually alright
*
Sometimes the drama
If it has not been planned for
Is like a hammer
Pounding stress
Into the day
*
We will be alright
Today is
Bright as bright
Let us find our time
*
So blessed we are …
I am sure …
that it will be alright
We just
Keep it light
Each day, new heights
I am sure in time
that we will be alright
*
Not so much glamour
But sometimes when planned for
Like what we stand for
Just the best
Each day alright

When we fall way down
into the depths
We may still look up
and see the highest sky

*

When we reach way up
to grasp the heights
We will still look down
to see the deepest drive

*

Our cognitive wheels
Spin in the thick mud
Finally gaining traction
Like oxygen in our blood
A vital reaction
That lifts us up

*

Our conscious engine
Takes us all around
With perception and ration
Reaching higher above ground
Emotion and passion
Won’t let us down

*

When we find way more
with each warm breath
We will still look hot
Battling stress in life

*

When we stay way cool
into the fires
We may still look cold
and be as smooth as ice

*

Our kind of fuel
Won’t fill by gallons
Our opinions aren’t clashing
Shared power for each challenge
To find satisfaction
And help us balance

Sometimes it is challenging to find a very productive frame of mind. Often that can also mean, having some comfort from our viewpoint and finding health. While it seems challenging to constantly maintain a strong frame of mind, it is possible to some extent.

---

In this frame of mind
We each have to survive
Sometimes it is better to
Look on the bright side
To feel superb
Even when there
are problems in our world
*
If we stop making progress
Towards solutions
It is fair to shift our attention
To something that boosts our mood
Improves our emotion
and enables us to work on future causes
*
If I dwell on troubles
And I am not solving them
Best to move on in my mind
And if necessary
come back later
*
Challenges have levels
We make choices involving them
Best to move on with our mind
Games of chess we’re sharing
Move forward daily
*
In this frame of mind
We have to live our life
Sometimes it is easy to
See in the night time
To feel assured
Even when there
are problems in our world
*
Confidence helps
Solve problems in our world
We map out solutions
With our knowledge
Inclusive dreams
As the day’s sunshine streams
And at night
In moonbeams
If we pay attention
*
In this frame of mind
We have to find our time
Sometimes we are all meant to
Check out the bright side
To feel the pure
Courage to solve
the problems in our world

---

An hour to spare
Minutes to ourselves
*
Don’t flood our minds
With the daily grind
We just want to relax
and have much more time
To ourselves
For our health
Is that out of line?
We will work on their stuff later
And always try to be kind
Hoping we all can feel fine
A logical design
*
Today we take care
Hours for ourselves
*
Don’t burn our views
With long-time issues
We do all that we can
Fire does not improve
Cool calm helps
Time will tell
Can we make it through?
We will fight more battles later
And always work to stay true
We just need some time to soothe
Logical to approve
*
Water keeps us alive
We need fire to thrive
Balance our cup
Then let it wash over
Boil enough
Heat till the steam clears
Working together forever
*
We all stay aware
In days to ourselves
*
Don’t ignore our lives
As we each arrive
We may not need contact
But may share our time
Nothing else
To feel well
It is not out of line
They will understand more later
And always try to be kind
Hope we can share peace of mind
A logical design

I try to live for the moment
I also learn from the past
And plan for the future

And plan for the future
*
I try to savour the moment
Sometimes it pays to look back
It helps with our future

It helps with our future
*
There should always be good times

Make a stage for always
*
Look back to think of good times
Find something to savour
Some days we may pay for
Take on days always
And make plans for way more
*
If we are having them now
It all happens fast
When we feel strong at the core
We will make it last
*
I strive to live for the moment
While I understand the past
And work for the future

Work for the future
*
I like to reach for the moment
It can be a real good catch
It holds all our future

All of our future

There should always be good times

Live for now and always

Thinking of you
And the good we can do
I want all of us to
Find compatible views
*
Thinking of you
I will work to get through
I need all of you to
Share the good we can do
*
So many ways
To get through the days
More than one way is okay
It’s whatever you say
Your choice is mine
Every time
*
Thinking of you
And the good we can do
I want all of you to
share our goals to get through
*
Thinking of you
All these feelings stay new
I need all of you too
And the good we can do
*
Progress in comfort
Healing the pains
Achieving fair pleasures
Making good gains
*
Solving the problems
Playing the games
Winning the treasures
Staying the same
*
Thinking of you
What is your point of view?
I ask all of you too
It is the least I can do
*
Thinking of you
And the good we can do

I do all that I can do
To maintain a good mood
*
Aim to appreciate life
Through easy times
And difficult moments
*
Take a critical perspective
Work to be objective
*
We get through the details
*
Sometimes it helps
To make light of
the situation
*
Sometimes it helps
To work on changing it up
*
Serious when we face
major challenges
*
Still doing what we can do
To maintain a good mood
*
A productive mood
No destructive moods
*
We can’t forget the potential for joy
Avoid being annoyed
By trivial impacts
*
We can’t forget better times
And good times that await in the future
As sure as we have insight
And the strength to
Have a sense of humour
We find thoughts and feelings
that bring pleasure
arriving sooner
*
Notice
how every moment
Is connected
For better or worse
In all that passes
*
When we keep going
One day
Slow or fast
We get closer
To our goals
And together
There is calm achievement
Welcome reward
and total endurance
Now and forever
Consideration
Thinking realistically about life
Helps us find ways to
survive with what we need
And to maintain a better mood

Continually blasted by the world
And holding our ground
More than long enough to
get our new message through
We both hear the sound
As we speak
And we feel
It sets a better mood
*
Held our ground
Shared the sound
Talked it out
Now we are stronger
*
We won’t let them down
With the world going around
We will stay longer
When they need us the most
**
Repeatedly knocked down by the world
Sometimes never found
Often there’s no chance to
get our good message through
They won’t hear the sounds
They dont seek
Our outreach
To help our lives improve
**
Save our day
Fast enough
to save more life
*
Experience we have
should be alright
*
In the next experience
we should learn to be well
No unnecessary stress
No preventable Hell
**
Stake our ground
Sight and sound
With no doubt
Now we are stronger
*
We won’t get so down
With the world coming around
With what we wanted
And what we need the most
*
So long as we live
a breath in this world
In any amount
The life we connect to
Can get our message through
We all know the sound
As we breathe
And believe
It helps our minds to soothe
*
That is what we need the most
