Flooding onto the roads
Throngs of vehicles
Swarm the streets
Charging forward
Like schools of fish
Certain of their movement
Darting back and forth
Weaving in mass traffic
Individuals of the sea
Aware of their small circles
Yet never knowing for sure what is downstream
*
Often certain of intended destinations
Or at least the next gear
While treasures await
We are careful of how we steer
*
Barriers and wild currents
Below
Beneath
Loose canons or vile predators
With chrome and teeth
Intimidating
Or in the current, concealed
Then taking too many lanes
And crisscrossing
self conscious or not
Speeding, unseeing
being erratic in life
Chomping out big dents
*
There is risk involved
*
Never knowing
What other drivers will do
Sure sometimes it is
smooth sailing and certainly safe
With strong and successful
social smarts shared by many
*
We still should
remain absolutely convinced
that the journey has challenges
Obstacles
Competitors
Road conditions
And rewards arriving
*
We have to get along
Well enough for our shared survival
We can jockey for position
Or we go with the flow
We go fast off the light
Or we take it slow
Causing ripples either way
Too fast
Or just crawling
*
Dodge
Pot holes
And flat tires
Avoid breaking down and stalling
Won’t get stuck at the bottom
Common sense and skill
Keep us rolling
*
Beneath the waves
Keeping the pulse
In the middle of the chaos
we can find calm
*
We do it the best way
Your way or my way
Into intersections or
On the highway
*
At the curb
Or in the driveway
In a parking lot
or in our home
Peace can thrive in our motion
*
The top of the engine is hot
Below we keep so cool
Like swimming
In deep water
*
Biting on a line
For a better time
Do what we can
It is all part of the plan
Take us home for dinner
Or catch and release
On the open seas
*
It is open season
For every
Reason
*
We plan our route
Without doubt
Get past fast
Like steelhead trout
*
We do up our seatbelt
Safety can be felt
Please no treason
How about etiquette
And manners?
Like a license
To drive
And to angle and dive
*
Minnows follow traffic patterns
Sharks fight to stay alive
We all do try
To live the best life
Get where we are going
Down the avenue
On the fast stream
That is having you
Or that still seems
Quick as minutes
Adding up to hours
We cruise into
Our space
Any place
We all have more powers
Submerged or on the surface
Driving for what we want or need
*
Traffic is a natural phenomenon

We listen to the forecast
And choose what we are wearing
Whether it is right or wrong
We take some time preparing
*
Soaked to the bone
Or sweltering hot
Hot as the sun
Real cool or not
*
Guided by total strangers
The best of them are caring
Most days good friends get along
Passion that’s bright not glaring
*
The clothes we have on our backs
Should never end up tearing
We should feel like we belong
Which often starts with sharing
*
Broke and alone
No shelter they’ve got
Taught not to run
Now they are caught
*
Brainwashed
The same then
Talk a lot
Then name them
Proclaiming, for truth we have fought
We can not blame them
For something that’s not
*
Lying will cause more dangers
Kind truths should not seem daring
Science tends to be so strong
And art is worth comparing
*
Spoken with tone
And felt on the spot
Shot like a gun
First have some thought

The process remains continuous
Although it often changes
Fast or slow
On the go
Each new day rearranges
*
Priorities can last a lifetime
They can also be fulfilled
First to know
Like a pro
By reaching destinations
*
New journeys start with skill
Our goals can go through changes
Continuous thrills or chilled
We go through many stages
**
Every person has their ups and downs
We climb out of our cages
High or low
With the flow
In free time or for wages
*
Life’s big production goes on and on
We work hard to get our fill
Still in tow
Our ego
No matter what the rage is
*
Emotions start to spill
And take us different places
Continuous will instilled
Moods bring us through all phases

Do I have any words?
I have to be so sure
That what I say
Can be accepted
and not easily ignored

Daily choices
Aim for smiles and laughs
Wherever we go
We hope that they last

Each person works
In one way or another
The things we do best
We have to discover

Rolling always
Forward on life paths
Whatever we know
We must think so fast

Each person cares
In one way or another
What we can do best
They can’t get enough of

Goals to live well
So fast the times pass
However it shows
Let’s still have a blast

Do I have any words?
Not crude and unworthy
Hope what I say
Shows my respect with
Many good things occurring

Daily choices
Aim to win and have fun
Every new day
We stay number one

Mind-boggling to think
what is happening at this moment
Anywhere
Over there
Or over here
and now
*
Like changing the channels on the TV
Change the feed
And dial into what we want
Give us reality
It is hard to believe
the other stuff that is going on
While we have our own times
We focus on our lives
Amazing to see
what is happening
right now
**
We observe and interact
We give out and then want back
Some people repel
Some people attract
We are all here together
We each have to
manage the facts
**
So triggering to think
What is happening at this moment
Anywhere
Maybe over there
Or over here
Right now
*
Like staging all of the most intense scenes
Take the lead
Some style gets you what you want
Make our reality
It is quite plain to see
The other stuff that is going on
While we have our own times
Focus on all of our lives
There can really be
better days happening
somehow
*
We have heard and seen impact
Check it out and then react
Some people help more
Some people give back
We are all here together
We need effort
to get on track

My focus is pulled in many directions
Somehow enduring
as it stretches and reaches
*
Our perspective guides us
It is expanding with every second until
*
Now I am starting to see the big picture
*
I would say that I am more than half way there
In any case:
All the way to today
From this angle
*
I feel the same
As any other day
Or maybe even better
More sure today
And I feel best
when I just get something done
And make it further towards my goals
like maintaining a good quality of life
*
We strive for rewards
like joy, pleasure and comfort
We are
so driven to want these elements of life
Amid the other less desirable moments
*
In some situations it is difficult
to know how to succeed
But through consideration
of the world around us
and with the strength
Luck or whatever it takes
to feel what we need
Good emotion can come rushing in
*
with a certain understanding
that we develop with planning
by living the experience
and remembering
that our focus guides us
*
Then, what we pay attention to
What we perceive
What we want to achieve
And what we imagine
Sometimes our own impact
(Or someone else’s planning
Or the world and nature,
Or the system that we work within)
gives us a certain stability
Where we can balance for as long
As this time, this situation and mood
exist
This is perpetuated by practical measures
Including effort, our dedication
and the events around us
*
We can try to all get along
Like no one is wrong
If no one is too demanding
And no one is too underhanded
Then we can share more understanding
and hey
We can get along
*
Our time and resources
with metamorphosis
Become a dream that will fly
Everyone or just you and I
Any one of us
At any time
When we have found peace for ourselves
When we have better health
*
It should not seem strange
That we go through such change
Every day
Maybe all of the time
From being grounded to flying
From planning to action
Hard work defining
How we succeed in the world, crawling
We bring ourselves through
When we graduate to the next level
And invent something that takes us
Good places
Living in ways
Where every minute is productive
at least in the sense
that we are contributing to the value of life
by having good experiences
And we make it happen
With our ability to determine our focus
and in how we react to our world
As driven within our own consciousness

Picture? This is a night-time view, changing focus, of the moon and a star or planet?

Our vision depends
on our environment
And what is inside of
Our mind at the time
*
Precision with care
should make it fine to vent
And that is in light of
Fire
that we can’t hide
*
Our passion
We have some
All of the time
It just shows up different
When we compete
Compared to when we are just being kind
And then when we lay it all on the line
*
Take the whole situation
All of the feeling beings
into account
To some amount
The sight and sound
That is coming around
*
Decision to work
And how our time is spent
We can make it right and
Win the fight for our life
*
Our mission
We have one
All of the time
It just shows up different
When we believe
Including everything that is on our mind
Improving many things with a good design

I should really stay in the moment
Much more often
It is kind of nice here
right now
We avoid anxiety
And grandiosity
Rushing situations just seem like a loss to me
*
I should really stay in the moment more often
*
Make peace with myself
Not dying for wealth
Not chasing perfection
It has already found us
In the middle of chaos
Find calm truth all around us
Break free
from chains that have bound us
*
We should really stay in the moment
Much more often
It feels so divine here
right now
We take joy deciding things
I am the boss of me
Rushing and haste
are unacceptable costs to me
*
We should really stay in the moment more often
*
Find peace for ourselves
Keep trying for health
A calm pace has protection
With kind truths to ground us
If in the heart, life pays off
Better news will surround us
Make peace
And good days have found us
*
We should really
stay in the moment more often

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
