Now a sudden change
In the day
And in our mood
In our understanding
*
Wicked flood so strange
At this time
Out of the blue
Hard to comprehend it
*
Thoughts with good range
All the while
Something to prove
We don’t have to pretend here
*
In reacting to some massive waves
Far more intense
Than what they might think
It is common sense
that we have to be smart
So strong and brave, we can’t be tense
Or.we just might sink
*
It all depends
On how calm we are
Our days become art
When calm thoughts save time
And we are grounded
Feeling sights and sounds
Of the waves, the shore, the mountains
We have years to reach the sky
We dig, we groove, we climb
**
The dream will remain

Some we can’t explain
Those moments
are over the moon
And we all have transcended
*
Just the right amount
Stars so brave become just countless
We have cleared our dreams to fly
We dig, we groove, we climb

Sunday…

Thinking of the solar system.

The universe. The galaxies and the Earth.

lol. But in a way, it is just about all possible futures and we will always be here.

Our identity can be seen as multi-faceted or one dimensional. It depends on perspective. Enough positive energy, optimism, and teamwork, as a social being, and we will achieve our collective goals, in my opinion, even if we have to redefine our goals, but always with rewarding results. Just being our best selves.

Who We Are (We Never Leave This Place)

Hey there
We will be okay
We each have to face the day
With our own kind of style and grace
To get very far
We are who we are
We will not feel out of place
Together our hearts blaze
*
With everything going on
We just need to keep pace
**
Today, we will pave the way
To make a much better space
With every one following
We love this place
*
We make our play
Each and every day
For smiles and praise
We do what we do
We should all get a raise
*
With what we have going on
We can all make a case
**
Today we will have our say
Our shared moments will amaze
With our energy flowing
Connections stay
We find bright ways
To help this place
*
Hey there
We will be okay
We always can face the day
To achieve the goals that we chase
We all chase the stars
Get far who we are
On Earth or in outer space
We never leave this place

---

A new challenge emerges
We won’t get discouraged
We have always flourished
And we will rise again
*
Maybe in another life
Maybe this one right now
Rain will fall
On hot ashes
Water washes
Red embers stay somehow
**
A new battle rages
The war that one wages
We can’t turn the pages
Until we learn again
*
Words only burn in our mind
They form visions and shout
Flames change when
Thunder smashes
A wave crashes
Meaning lasts without doubt
**
A new storm converges
Rain or fire surges
We stand strong with courage
Then we are safe again
*
And feel comfort in our lives
Must be this one right now
We stay strong
Lightening flashes
Our sense clashes
Shocking seems normal now
**
A new view immerses
The plain truth submerges
In the middle verses
We connect well again
*
If it is all in our mind
We can help dreams get loud
Hear fair fights
Cool wind lashes
Success splashes
When we work it all out

---

Grateful for the scene
There are so many places
And the spaces in between
Are important to keep pace with
In travel
And just existence
No matter what the case is
*
We each have a soul
It fills up our mind
It moves with our body
Breathes life by design
^
Beyond first impression
A treasure that we find
It controls all of our senses
And awareness of time
^
We all have a face
Hopefully a smile
We have promises that bind
We are stronger all the while
Ties represent the base
Of all conscious kind
The things we can’t replace
Soul, body and mind
^
And beyond that, specifics
We could all feel terrific
With much better timing
Some times are exquisite
We all have to guess
Perception is infinite
We perceive the best
It is intrinsic
And intuitive
If we can live
in that time
With the focus of our mind
Our understanding
In the mood
Whether feeling mystic or realistic
However it is viewed
Less troubles can intrude
With a thoughtful attitude

I came up with this idea for a poem. If we have more control of our thoughts, we could just feel calm and content, and get past stressful thoughts or anxiety.

If we stop to think about it, it is within our reach…

Clear Thoughts

Why can’t I just think what I want to think?

I want to stay calm and strong

All of the day long

How can I program my mind

To always feel fine

All of the time?

*

How can I just say what I want to say?

I want to go on and on

I want to belong

I should prove that I am kind

It is my design

All of the time

*

When we work together for the same cause

We get much further

When we press play not pause

*

Rock out the system

Get past any flaws

We work to live well

There is no more to tell

*

Why can’t I just be what I want to be?

I do not want to be wrong

Just want to get along

Can you just give me a sign?

To say we are fine

At any time

*

Why can’t I just do what I want to do?

I just want to play a song

All the day long

Major impact
I hope that they have our back
When you get right down to it
We get back on track
*
We get off the ground
We are not messing around
When we step right up
Our courage is found
*
Intense impact
They should see that that’s a fact
It is the sheer amount of it
We really are stacked
*
We share a massive effort
Blood, sweat and tears
Every one of us
that goes through these gears
*
Low speed for some stages
High speed for more
Turning those corners like never before
*
A hard crash at the end of the day
But only in a recharging way
Until we do it again
Fill it right up
Explode
In pure combustion
Until we all get enough
*
Fastest impact
How we will always react
We have learned to count on it
Our hard work attack
*
For dollars we pound
Comfort is the true amount
What we all need here
More caring resounds

Just thinking about some strange stuff that has happened, if by frequency alone, sometimes shocking … but can be valuable at the same time.

Just wrote this. Nothing too off beat and hopefully catchy, if you are interested.

This Is Not a Test

This is so strange
And then it happens again
I don’t know if things
will ever be the same
*
This is amazing
But won’t ever phase me
I understand that
All of life is an intricate arrangement
Each day is unique
Believing just makes sense
*
Our bodies run like fine-tuned clocks
Our minds are complex machines
We open doors when opportunity knocks
We learn to be part of incredible scenes
*
We want to feel forever
Feel strong
Feel the time
We live with the current
Time flows through our mind
**
There is a change
We make it happen again
I know that some things
will still remain the same
*
On the same page here
And when we are patient
I understand that
Empathy can be life’s greatest attainment
Each day that we meet
Achieving more just makes sense
*
Connecting views like building blocks
Life is a complex machine
We learn that we are all one
but nothing shocks
We have to
keep all of our connections clean
*
We should want to feel better
Feel good
Feel the best
We live for the moment
We can’t second guess
*
We should feel more together
Feel fine
With the rest
We live in the system
This is not a test

Mind over matter
We all have it
Or at least
we can almost grasp it
*
But sometimes
Egos grow too much
People start to
really lose touch
*
Like our own invasive species
Spiny, prickly weeds just creeping
*
With our defence
They will not reach here
We stay on our guard
While our mind remains
under heavy matter
**
Mind over matter
Make it happen
Within reason
it will all add up
*
In real time
The show knows so much
Actors have to
Get out and push
*
We learn when our lessons teach us
Tiny, little seeds of freedom
*
With our good sense
The path is clear here
We have to be smart
The day still contains
much more heavy matter
**
Life is teaching
We can escape with all of our minds
With our safe space
and with our safe time
*
We can keep pace
And have a life
Rewarding and good
It is how we think about it
That is the most important input
*
Equity can be
a better vision
If we can bring it
into our mission
For those that balance
And accept the challenge
Between thoughts
and life
there is no division
*
Mind over matter
It is fact here
Thinking it through
Past idle chatter

Simple days

are hard to find

but when we do

they are divine

*

Every day

Simple to find

all that we do

for peace of mind

*

Complex times

may lead the way

when they are solved

we feel okay

*

or maybe amazing

if this is our day

when it is super-involved

And we make our way

*

Simple days

Can make us grind

after we do

we can unwind

*

Every day

Simple design

It’s what we do

To get through these times

*

Smooth and flying

Or hard steps on the ground

Diving into energy

Flowing through and around

Healing waves can soothe us

Every vision and sound

Washing over our conscious days

While the sky

is coming down

---

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
