I am not sure if this poem is cohesive, but it does seem connected to the idea of “the pull,” on our coffee, of a falling bin, of each other, of a drink, of the moon and our favourite tune. Just saying: this is creative writing, not a science… it is more specifically about how we manage our challenging days.

Three cups of coffee
And worked for nine days straight
There are dishes in the sink
They will just have to wait
*
The trashbin on the driveway
Was knocked over by raccoons
The mess is real
I can not deal
I have to get to work real soon
*
People in life mean well
and I appreciate the feeling
Those that do not mean well
can put us all through hell
But should try to do much more healing
So they do not step on our last nerve
So we don’t have to fight their dealing
When that is just
not what we deserve
Understand how we are appealing
*
Just one
Okay
On the go any way
Together best
Together feeling
It’s our best guess
No one concealing
*
Shared world
Shared day
A shared life any way
We share each breath
No one is stealing
Together test
This is the real thing
*
A drink much later
Now worked for ten days straight
Chores are finally done
Our work is never late
*
Sounds and sights through the doorway
Are influenced by the moon
The tides are real
Like how we feel
When we play our favourite tune

They can all see
just as clearly as me
What is in the sky
And what is on my mind
*
It is up and down
I hope it all comes around
Cool rain and warm sun
We rest
Then we run
Existence designed
*
They can all see
Exactly what I see
What is on the ground
Everything that we found
*
You can’t make this stuff up
But it fills up our cup
Heals pain
It’s this one
Surreal
is the sound
*
We get through
With all that we do
I get through
With all that I do
*
Get through
To find out what’s new
Always the sun
That is how life runs
Without it
We would be frozen
and shattered
Flatlined
and scattered
Then we find out what matters
You are all that matters
*
All through the night
behind clouds
Or in a room
The sun keeps us alive
just like the world and you
*
We count on the sun and moon
The world and you
It’s what we do
It’s how we get through
*
You can all see
Just as clearly as me
What is in the sky
And why we are alive
*
Life puts it down
It all comes around
Cold storms then hot sun
Work hard
Have some fun
Existence designed

Specific inspiration.

The natural part is something to write about. Super natural British Columbia, even at this destination just outside of the big city.

A village beyond the trees
Through the leaves
Behind the beach
The mountains look far past
While the water just looks
So deep
*
Walk down the path until we
Fill the streets
Sun still has reach
Autumn has much less heat
Cool fall days
Refreshing
Complete
*
The sky watches everything
And listens
to birds that sing
Or piercing birds of prey
Wisps of clouds
Lift the eagle’s wings
*
No rain here now this season
We will feel
A chilled breeze or
Moments the sun’s warmth plays
This bright blue fall day won’t freeze us
*
Within this world
We use trails or sidewalks
Roads for our vehicles
Leading to driveways
Parking and buildings
Garages and storefronts
apartments and houses
*
Within this world
Take life’s trails or pathways
Like branches of the trees
Some become bare now
Save for evergreens
Trees red gold and yelliow
soon stand out so starkly
*
Channels in the Earth are locked
Streams rise hot from molten rock
Steam twists
Cold air contrasts
Through hot spring pools
wade, swim and walk
*
Spirit never gets run down
What we found is all around
A new day we will meet
One day my friend will be renowned

I will not let the day go unnoticed.
Aiming for:

Respect for all life
Gratitude
Developing
and maintenaning a good quality of life
Effort towards progress
Sharing peace
Equity

It seems sometimes
We can find
peace of mind
Mostly when
the hard times blend
It starts again
With our good times now
Tough times will pass
When we dig in
And have a blast
*
Just like some days
We can play
All the way
Only when
We contend
Then start again
The good times now
We make them last
We hold on tight
Time goes by fast
*
Time flies when we are having fun
But we have to crawl
Before we can run
we may fall behind
And then feel like we are done
then light returns
With the rising sun
*
Some way somehow
We start out
Maybe now
Only when
we are confident
Strength starts again
more good times now
Are times that last
When we take care
An interesting task
*
Taking care and harming no one
Be good to ourselves
the life that we run
we can share good times
and the connection we have won
New light still burns
in the setting sun

Find your life’s polar opposites
the bottom and the top of it
This shape is real
Today is certain
We want
All of it
Let’s take our time
And catch on to it
*
Take it all in
Don’t judge
Appreciate what we can
Then do all that we can
To find the best outcome
First make the best plan
Then all the pieces
will surely fall in to place
Somehow it all works out
*
There are many flowing positives
Do not stop or pause all of it
These days are real
We do pay
It’s certain
We want
All of it
Let’s take our time
And reach out for it
*
Make it all work
Just push
Improve the day when we can
Or do all that we can
To find the best system
First make the best plan
Organize beliefs
until they fall into place
Get through stress
When we think of grace
Pass each test
When we keep the pace
Somehow it all works out
If it doesn’t
Then rearrange
thoughts
until they are calm again
*
Then sometimes emotions
Make life intense
Get through it all
Understand what we sense
Endure our worst
Find what is best again
Somehow it all works out

Most days I make things happen
Sometimes there are some perks
Most ways, I will try to win
I take aim to be sure
*
Whether or not we can reach the top
Depends on the official decision
We can’t always be the champion
And that is not always our mission
*
I work full time and then some
I take pride in my work
My word can not be a sin
Of virtue I am sure
*
Whether or not we can pull it off
Depends on their most current opinion
We are not just dull mindless machines
We run better with intuition
*
It IS my mission
to survive
and to enjoy
and to improve our lives
These are the top three goals for me
They are my vision
And my drive
I will avoid
All other views of life
That is just how it rolls for me
The more that I can help the world
The more support that I seem to receive
*
I work for more and mean it
Succeed for what it’s worth
I always try to reason
My optimism’s sure
*
Whether or not it will hit the spot
Depends mostly on my latest vision
I am not just imagination
Our shared peace of mind
is my mission

When we can see the sky
And feel the time
Stretching out
like the wind seeking
sensations
We experience the reach
Of our hour and our vision
With life’s precision
spiking our every nerve
*
Sun all day
Moon at night
We need the time
Reaching out
Like the stars seeking
Attention
We experience the stretch
of our shadow cast from bright light
Within our keen sight
Life shines shapes into our eyes
*
Every nerve is isolated
Then brought together in a wave
Riding high and crashing low
Memories
The dreams we save
A blanket of feeling
When the current
washes over
We can hit the ceiling
Times enduring
Touch our whole world
Every ounce of life that we live
Is the time that we take
and what life gives
*
Above all
Light and life
We reach the time
Splashing out
Like raindrops seeking
Our vision
We experience spectrums
From the water and our light source
Just with the right course
All our senses bring us life
And time

Quite a game
Never the same
On the edge of our seat
again and again
*
Getting tight
With how we fight
We always work with our
Grit and might
*
Greatest days
We all
make our plays
We would not have it
Any other way
*
We make it through
With all that we do
We should not have to feel
excruciating loss
Consquence should come at an acceptable cost
Not causing acute emotions
No more than annoyed
The most intense feeling
that we should ever have
Correct me if I am wrong
But to me it should be:
Pure joy
Winning but also just playing
Pure excitement
From moments in life
*
Somehow we get through
With all of our best moves
We each have our own game
Through and through
Me and you
Now we will win
And not lose
Make it happen again
In some way
Every day
