High above we look down With a shove we jump out And then we hit the ground running for all that it is worth * A perfect landing A run Then standing It has taken planning and then we have the Earth * Wherever we walk Whatever we give Whenever we talk However we live * What we do today stays for all of time * Far below we look up Set to go we jump in When we peak the sky is sunny Here in the universe * A perfect take off A flight Then soaring We take in more stars than They have down on the Earth * Forever the rock Whatever it gives Whatever the shock However we live * What we feel today stays for all of time * Playing field is level Work is real we crush it When we push it for the money For all that it is worth * A perfect runway A show Then some way We will all have one day When we can have the Earth
Despite the icky over-commercialisation, and many dragging situations in the world, I hope that more of us can find a Christmas spirit that makes a welcome difference for ourselves and others.
Because We Believe
In this season There is a breeze on my face Cold but not frozen In this beautiful place * The wind rises and falls The rain drenches Then stalls The sun comes out higher than all Above trees standing tall Shining down energy For the entire long haul * In the city streets fast cars start to crawl Signals change colours Gridlock forms a wall Such a jampacked day We are on our way We turn into the busy shopping mall * We spend several minutes to find parking Hear the beep from the fob on the car keys Head Into the stores to answer the call Of the kids, parents sisters and brothers spouses, partners, significant others Friends and acquaintances in some circumstances like teachers and bosses Don’t take too many chances The new year’s situation advances And the big Christmas Day is hours away * Each shopper dances Through the store aisles Between clothes racks Toy shelves And swirling crowds, walking miles Get in line With our items Customers and cashiers all in trances Debit or cash Pray banks don’t crash “Thank you, Merry Christmas” Small gestures A kind spirit enhances * With gifts that we bought Back to our far spot In the parking lot Daytime is gone It doesn’t stay long If I said that this season is special I wouldn’t be wrong * We fill up our trunk With good stuff and junk But all in the search To share happiness We hope that it’s known In every home And we are there now We made it some how We are so fortunate for our loved ones Today’s work is done The last shopping run * Unpack Then gift wrap
Many treats A bite to eat Nice drink Calmly think Comfy seat We both sink A sparkling wink We are on the brink At another Christmas Eve Intricate patterns that weave Lights outside and on the tree Now wait for Santa because we believe
The best days surprise us * They can be planned with care and for sure Happen for a reason Even if they happen by chance When they advance It is pleasing Designed by the forces that be And causes that we agree on * Made by artists and athletes Thinkers and dreamers Passionate doers and most excellent leaders Achievers and believers Doing their thing With all that the world brings It has a nice ring When we have time to think * The best of days Arrive for us * When we are more aware And for sure Have much better visions Even if they happen at night There is cool light Our decision Creates everything that we see Wild and fast or with precision * All that we see And all that we hear Makes up the big picture One thing is clear The feelings that we have Senses and taste Make up everything and the best of days * Made by wishes and planning Day dreams years spanning Dedicated moves and resilience outstanding Our own brand of pure grandness Making the day In every single way This feeling can stay When we have time to play * The best days Inspire us
For peace of mind In our time One angle of life can be ours * What we will find With our time One part of life is always ours * Do you believe this now? Can we make a point? We will connect somehow Some truth we can’t avoid * We should take a vow To not get annoyed No sweat off our brow We can not exploit * Natural skills wow Gladly we are joined Through tough times we plow Gainfully employed * The whole design Of our time Some angles in life are always ours * The bottom line Is our time This part of life is always ours * Time always first The connection to consciousness Next we can find ways to build synergy * Can we believe in now? Has life made its point? We connect somehow We might feel overjoyed * Can we see it now? Today won’t be destroyed We can share more somehow That should be the point
It is about how we look at things sometimes, whether we are thriving or coping (or both).
Life Naturally Occurring
We aim to be thriving Now we are coping * It depends on How we handle the pressure * We could have not that much But still be in touch It is about how we keep it together * What do we have to do to prove ourselves? * Prove what we say And stay more trustworthy * What do we have to do To share the wealth? And win some for ourselves with no worries? ** We aim to keep striving Like we are chosen * It depends on How we have learned to measure * We could have not that much and be more in touch It is about how we all stay together * What do we have to do to prove ourselves? * Prove what we say And think otherworldly * What do we have to do To share more health? Find more for ourselves? * Try not to hurry * What do we have to do? * Tighten our belt Be more aware of ourselves And care for our world more surely ** We aim for survival Together flowing * Life naturally occurring
Can we plan for the moment? It can be more rewarding When we get people into it With different views You might be astounded When it is warm While it is cold outside Realizing that this is our life We should make a move for it * Can we harvest the moment? Would it be more meaningful If we got deeper into it Digging in our roots Becoming more grounded Then spreading our arms to reach to the sky And finding the day is full of life We should make good use of it * Can we savour the moment? Would it be more enduring If we got sweetness into it? And flavours that soothe For taste, hearts have pounded All of that charm makes experience fine So we survive with a better life And still pay our dues for it * Can we choose every moment? It can be much easier When we get teamwork into it Aware of the news Benefit resounding Avoiding any harm Feeling alright We can design the best path for life A map with truth in it * Thoughts, ideas Religion and science Business, politics The media source * Family and friends Love and common sense Lose our enemies Gain an alliance * Each moment arrives and changes quickly * from the past to the current to the next * With experience we build a future If we learn to get through every test
This picture was taken when I was shopping, but it is from a while ago.
I haven’t started my shopping yet 🙄⛄️🌲😬
Just a little poem about world peace ☮️ .
Meaningful or nonsense? 🎅🏻
Without the Clash
Are we on the same wave length? I try to relate to everyone And anyone If it is safe If there is a helpful connection If it seems worthwhile * Are we on the same wavelength? I try to reach out to everyone And anyone Sometimes it is impossible Sometimes we clash * When we clash They may want to smash us all And sometimes we bash them * Sometimes when we connect We build and accomplish things When we are on the sane wavelength We try to react to everyone In that way we respect everyone And anyone Despite the clash * If we clash They may want to lash out And sometimes we smash them * But we must be careful If we still can salvage things When we get on the same wavelength When we can acknowledge everyone In someway we help out everyone And anyone Without the clash
Work to love the show? We work so that hopefully we can enjoy ourselves.
We work for favourite places and people.
When our social world and our environment is responding well, we also often feel well.
If we can be independent and still appreciate our social world and environment, that is a good situation too.
Just some thoughts…
Love the Show
Imagine arriving at a favourite place Breathing it in Joy In the new look on our face * There could be fun and warm sun and the comfort that we chase But it can be much more about who is here at this place * The life that we love most We want close We work to keep pace With what we know And steady flow We find social grace * Places and faces We work to love the show * Be strong and so alive at each new time and place Breathing it in Calm Mood reflecting im our face * The feelings that we have Should make us smile and laugh Or warmly glow With all that we know Life happens fast * The life that we love most We want close We work for the chase For life to know And steady flow We find social grace * Places and faces We start to love the show
This was revised. It is not aimed to be too rough or grim, despite the reference to birds of prey. 🦅. It is also about just using words with impact for visualisation.….
I am working on it. ☮️
A Foregone Conclusion
Assumption Illusion A foregone conclusion Ripping through the day * Welcome programmed living It is usually pay to play Our diet of new media and life sometimes seems okay But it does have a price * Learning better choices Is learning to be wise Finding our own voices we need them to survive Our awareness has to stay * Memories come from before Understanding grows with praise In current times we want more There is always a way * Savour the taste of the moment Take a fresh breath with the wind Intricate visions of the future Cool sounds for all of time * We need to feel much more And know more in our mind Make our choice to be In front of a screen Or on the scene Like walking down a path in time * Bright green ferns and fields of thick moss Cover the living, outdoor floor Fingers of branches arms criss-cross Life stretches out far from our core * Trunks of trees rise so high Branches reach out to hold the sky Evergreens, cedar, spruce and pine Like a dream Patterns sway and wind * Bright leaves twist in the season’s breeze There is life within the forest We can hear a chorus Musical keys to melodies * Birds make music As do artists We have Videos and speakers pounding Cameos of creatures counting * Climbing higher or digging down deeper We are inspired and soaring regal Heart beat steady of a A flying eagle A battle cry And we reach out
Diving down with pinpoint accuracy Then from ground to sky We have no doubt not much as we hold on tight to our life * We watch our days unfold We let them take firm hold Or change the channel Or app or site All depending on our appetite And things that we are sold * We must be bold * We must have Improvement A foregone conclusion Gripping us today
An absolute truth in life is that, how to find comfort is one of the most important things that we will ever know.
Sometimes that is all about calm reason.
This is some part of my philosophy, but with rhyme and rhythm and a few spare minutes…
If we stop to think about everything Sometimes our thoughts explode Meanwhile, the rest of the time Our mind should create an even flow * Through the worst and the best It depends how it goes When we are on the edge Like when we know Times, sick or hurt or stressed If we are unhealhy And low Put our brain to the test * How to find comfort is everything that we should ever need to know * Our mind is more likely to drag it’s heels If we can’t be well And we feel like hell * If we are at a time When we haven’t thought things through maybe jumped to conclusions Or given into illusions Somehow we can still get back to level ground and then charge through If we can find that mood With that mind set and attitude * We focus to feel just fine all of the time even when we are misaligned * It only takes one time When it’s all on the line To change the design And get back to fine and better * We flow with anything and everything * If life is tweaked Like by a tough week Or pressures on our nerves Like anxiety * Set it free For all it’s worth Think of how to Deal with everything By reaching comfort in our thoughts * If at first we can not Find it in our body Then we should find it in our mind Our life will surely follow With the calm reason that we find
