Final stages to What the rage is Soon we will be more chill Putting out fires * While they admire And act like they are thrilled By the basics We can’t fake it You just can’t make this stuff up ** Silent pages won’t Make our wages Soon we must get our fill Earning desires * While waves get higher Nothing is overkill We keep racing Always chasing Things we can’t get enough of ** Minds with gauges for All the ages Soon we are over the hill But frequent fliers * When tightly wired Expertise pays the bills Even spacing Never wasting The greedy world can shove off ** Signs the sage gives, keys Open cages Soon our wings won’t be still Such truth inspires * While needs are dire Our expression just spills We can face it With more grace here Stay steady with a strong love
Reflecting on the new days Trying to feel better Thinking there are no two ways about it We can’t ever doubt it Then feeling great, the mood stays We can’t get around it Since now we have found it * Expecting some more blue days Nicer types of weather Thinking There is no way to live without it Each system is routed Then seeing straight into haze The clouds that are grounded Now we are surrounded * Fog thick like a swamp Damp cold fingers extend to every space Far above heat comes down from the sun Wisps of moisture climb up like tufts of hair pulled into the air The grey banks dissipate Steam rises to the sky The blue looks through The day brightens And we can see life ahead Welcoming us to reach out for much more * Protecting me and you days Right into forever Thinking Life is cool we want to shout it Our love is never crowded Just healing ways that amaze The joy that has sounded Now nothing can down it * Sun high like the stars Far bright visions glow in outer space Here on Earth heat comes down from the sun Oceans and lakes rise up Like years of care Become more aware The green forests provide shade While life grows to the sky Azure looks through The future opens And we can see how life gets Encouraging us to reach for much more
Hmmm, I don’t reach all of the right people But there are some that I do reach for certain While all of the while I am missing many * Trying to put myself out there Just to get more things done * Some one may have poor judgement And then I am just done * Like really bad driving To where I land * Or leaders with bad views ** Right? Striving to get our moves out there Just to help our scene * When we have compassion For life here For every other view And how life can be * We mean to make a difference And check in on how we relate We should be better together Every day and Forever we meet our fate * See the situation just as normal As you would in any case But elevate the mood to feel better Yes you should in every way Keep up an attitude So important Share peace with others Don’t hesitate ** Hey! We should reach all of the people But there are some So hard to reach for certain While all of the while We are missing many * Trying to get more health out there Our job is never done * Appeal to our shared judgement It all come down to one * Reach to the horizon From where we stand We each get different news * Just one life to fight for All that we plan Keep up faith win or lose
I know that for certain: some people do not relate to this type of writing or thinking.
Likewise, I don’t appreciate some other people’s work that much either.
I still think that we can get through it, with some clear thoughts and consideration.
Every Moment Matters
We go through the day Because there is no other way We have some good times We are not afraid * But we have to think Before we just act To make a difference And to stay on track * We sleep through the night When we have been feeling alright We get some good rest We still have to fight * But we have to breathe And sometimes relax To stay much more balanced And lead the attack + We could be having the time of our lives Stop for moments to think This is sublime Embrace all of the highlights And reach for the sky’s heights Find out that we have time For a moment doing nothing * We continue to work to be more productive Even just having fun We get past obstructions We can not waste time We should climb the ladder To get ahead in life Every moment matters
Got our running water back on Friday (after over a week) after the drain in our crawl space backed up due to “atmospheric rivers”/ torrential rains and then flooded, knocking out our well system. Fortunately we were able to stay at home (a few trips to mom’s for showers!). Big thanks also to the drums that we put under our eavestroughs to collect rain for power outages and gardening, and in this case, especially to flush toilets.
I have worked on this poem for a day or two, while also spending the rest of my days doing chores to catch up and working for 8 hous each day. Also some relax and leisure time. Still some work to be done for the repairs and restoration. It has been a challenge.

Either Way
Agile winter rain Finds a way into our shallow basement * Hostile summer drought Waits for rain It is hard to be patient * Fragile moments stay For the eagerly anticipating And we are triggered into emotion When the results come Either way ** Like when we have come in from the cold To find a warm bath Or take a nice hot shower * Or succumb and freeze all of our goals To face nature’s wrath and forsake every other hour ** We may go out into scorching heat And reach a deep lake Or cool off in the ocean * Never numb or Burning up our souls To meet where time’s clash instead a graceful logic towers ** Like a school of thought that grows so bold We still take some math To find a higher power * Or die trying too young or too old Just one massive class If we frame strong minds, time won’t sour ** Our studies will never be complete In courses we take When we have pure devotion * By applying We should not need gold To find our life’s path Don’t let an unfair system devour ** Profiled records play For all days creating pure elation * Futile not devout? Saying prayers should never be disgraceful * Fertile thoughts today Streaming through our deep imagination And we can trigger new emotions When the results come Either way ** With style seasons parade Troubles fade With stronger concentration * Mobile with no doubt Our thoughts reign With ideas new or ancient * Meanwhile nature shapes Everything that our world is made of And we are welcomed into emotion When the results come Either way
The world is turning like it never has before * The earth pulls us all the way Gravity holds us to the floor * The sky is burning in forever What a sight * Powers take us all the way All that we see contains more light * Down the corridor We take in what we see We always want more We always have more needs * We always feel everything The experience makes it real * It seems like We have to fight for many things in life to keep our days on even keel * With our success In our own hands Reach for the best for the best chance * Can you blame people fighting hard to survive? There is nothing worse than cruelty Work to be kind with more of our time * Endure today For tomorrow, more healing in everything that we do From every point of view * Now we don’t know where to look So we look up to the sky It helps us ground ourselves With so many reasons why * We must keep learning If we ever will survive * Clear minds save us all the way Experience keeps us alive
Every day there are adventures Every time I stop and think There is always something more for us all to explore Then there are challenges and changes Find the explanation Sometimes I don’t want any more * Every day there are some detours Every time we can stop and think Things can always get hard core And we just can’t ignore There will be challenges and changes Find our expectations Sometimes we all have many more * Soon we have a good solution Find the answer We calculate it The new movement Really matters Pause to think of the equation More hard work leads to improvement * We design peace of mind By being kind to ourselves We can find intense times And define our own health * Every day we reach the future All the time we can stop and think There is always more in store When we open the door There will be challenges and changes Find calm concentration that can give us all so much more * We outline a piece of our mind And really find ourselves We design better times When we strive for more health
In the middle of it all We should say what would be better When we get down to it We have to make the call * Rolling hills And flash floods in valleys New rivers are forming Our spirits all rally As we weather the storm I feel that so much can happen fast Days may take another form We each want to follow the best path * In the centre of it all I feel it only gets better If we are up to it We never have to fall * Rolling skies Life is riding the breeze Today has been storming We just have to breathe deep * Rolling waves Some times put us at ease The future is forming And now is complete
The content here is about the normal responsibility to be fair (and kind) keeping in mind that we also have to survive and work to our best ability with our limited knowledge, in our culture, or just be our own normal.
Normal and Fair
I am already feeling very steady Interested in ways to Get what I am getting * For better balance Facing every challenge Mastering survival Like eagles have talons * Never guessing about how to Pick up the prize With our powerful eyes Pinpoint the target far away Then swoop down from the skies Metaphor finds no suffering Not a clever disguise Reach for angles buffering Numb and paralyzed Hold on tight To the prey To fulfil a natural appetite We have to realize the consequences when we look down from these heights Awful as it may be The world shares this light As reasonable human beings We should fight the best fight * Get the time to step up Get to the next level They might be betting heavy Dealing precious metal The best way to win is to Get the balance settled Fair is fair We should take care Fair should be more normal * I am already feeling very steady Investing in ways to Get what I am getting * For better balance Facing every challenge Mastering equal chances We are the normal ones
We are the normal ones Who we are, in the long run Mastering fair advances We are all the normal ones
