First We Imagine


It is not hard to imagine
Just breathing calmly
and looking out at the world
Not impacted
But just calmly aware
as we decide how to react
*
We harness our energy
Protect comfort
Reject discord
Project kind words
Respect supports
*
Those around us that help us survive
Share our ways to have a good life
Together
Whenever
It doesn’t take much effort
To harness the energy
*
A single word can make a difference
Even a thought
Just considering the situation
We influence further reactions
Enable connection to gain traction
Build it on the inside
Effort to make it right
Clear path when calm care guides
Now we take action
First we imagine


Better Days


I had this frightening dream
But things were not as they seemed
I realized that in some ways
My frame of mind
controls the days
Despite intense feeling
Our mind makes it real and
We can always have
better days
*
A winding mirage
rises off the road
Steam rises off a lake
In nightmares there are
Billowing clouds of smoke
Fast fires that we create
*
In our mind and in our day
Burning moments wash away
In the ocean of life
Waves may overtake the flame
*
Then rise so fast up again
With the sun or
A gull that went diving
Got their prize
Now are thriving
Through mist off
the waves we are riding
*
I had this amazing dream
We each have this steady stream
We must make our play in some ways
As fate and time
control the days
We find intense feeling
Our time will stay real and
We can always have better days


Better Days, The True Nature


Think it over

Time is telling

Who is true and

What they’re selling

*

Nothing in between

Honesty and lies

Except for illusions

That become disguised

*

This is not candy-coated

It can’t be a complete surprise

There is no forever Hell

When we open up our eyes

*

We can be well again

We need not stop to cry

There is a spell for everything

that nothing can defy

*

Find truth through the haze

Past fires that blaze

Past clouds and thick smoke

That can blur all our days

It may disappear

when we find grace

We will see the source

if we don’t always chase

Given enough time

We can understand this place

And see the sure face

The true nature of our time and space

**

Think it over

Time is yelling

Who is right and

What is well here

*

Nothing in between

Honesty and lies

In some ways the truth here

is always alive

*

No apparitions floating

It should not come as a surprise

There is no forever Hell

Changing dreams will never die

*

We can we well again

when we start getting wise

We cast a spell on everything

that nothing can defy

*

Find life in every case

It should not go to waste

The world is not broke

We just have to keep pace

If we disappear

Don’t go in haste

Life will run it’s course

Conscious thought always stays

Given enough time

We can understand this place

Let’s have better days

The true nature of our time and space
