I find that life is full of amazing and surprising stuff… good and bad. I try to channel the good and find ways to create a better balance, with more healthy, enjoyable stuff. Rather than accepting negativity and pain, I aim to find ways to extract the lesson and create more good stuff where it was. It is not that easy, especially when there are so many challenges and so much competition between perspectives.
Sometimes if we shed light on a situation, it allows us to share views, co-operate and find progress. Other times we are on our own.
No one knows every situation Sometimes we are surprised * Does this all seem very unusual to you? It would to me too But what do you do? We may not always share the same view What can we do? * How can we look Clear past the daily amazement? And then just push through Life surreal and new To think more clearly More than they do * No one knows every situation Sometimes life is disguised * I can not and will not stand here and do nothing I must make a move Carefully improve I like to always Share my true view What should I do? * I have found some words To find ways to push through Life intense and new And try to think fairly For all of us too * We may not know every situation Sometimes our views save lives * Including our own When we think them through That’s all we can do
Look for words to keep us well Sometimes it is so hard to tell Between what we say and what we mean Some translations remain incomplete * One life’s experience And what we are made of Leads us to interact in the shape of our personality * Words from our upbringing What our world is made of Leads us to behave It is our genetics and history * For healthy cultures We must try Health in culture should not die * We work just to stay alive In healthy culture we will thrive Between what we plan and to achieve We are best to follow our beliefs * We are not so different We all want to feel well * In this time We have to climb To escape Hell It is a truth I have to tell * I’m just saying We do have different ways of understanding And communicating And planning to achieve Speak free So together We can believe and Help health in culture * I am just saying We all have different ways of Understanding And appreciating And planning to achieve Think peace Win together When we believe and Help health in culture
We make our day in our own way We are all different through the haze The sun in the sky won’t always stay But there is more than one star in the day * Sun is shining or clouds are gray Every night vast darkness plays When we surface fast nightmares may fade Stars stay past all time beyond any shade * The light within Energy with no end We feel okay We have a friend * Stars that shine for ten billion years And all of the time we have been here In eternal night we can not fear There is always light Far away comes near * Vision intense The world appears Sun so far brings heat Skies become clear The Earth is a massive spinning sphere The depths and heights are absolutely sheer * Find light within We can always begin To feel alright We have time to spend
This is not a political statement. This is about love and how some people don’t have the resources that they need to live comfortably although they work hard for it and at least deserve better support for conditions they live in. By working hard for it, I also mean that survival and existence can be hard work and everyone with care deserves a decent quality of life.
No one is necessarily to blame for poor quality of life but we can all help restore the balance, and especially those with the most resources… which is likely no one I know, but someone and some group of people could make a difference if they realise that they could actually enhance their own lives by doing so. 
Somehow there could be a better balance.  This poem is held together by a few rhymes and beats. Part of the idea is about imbalance and struggle. Poetic. A big reason for “the struggle” seems to be an inability or lack of desire to work together to create more balance. Some people are comfortable with disparity. Unfortunately I think that this is an unhealthy form of compulsion and/ or obsession that causes us to define our wants AS needs. The need for security is real but in some ways it is largely exaggerated and compulsive, like we need this monumental cushion, when we could surely get by wIth way less padding and more cooperation . The protection of our fortune is found with fate. Trying to eiminate the drama of fate and fool fate by storing supplies for ourselves, beyond what we could ever use, past our generations, that could be used by others that actually need it now: will bring negativity and harm our fates in ways we may not expect or understand until it is too late. Karma is real and we should work together for now. Still protect our children’s future, but by setting a good example, not by squeezing out those that supposedly don’t derserve it. Everyone deserves to earn a decent quality of life. Hard work is hard work.
Love on the other hand is underrated and often poorly defined. Love can be either a miraculous, beneficial, connecting passion or in another definition, more like a weak, frivolous and impractical form of lust or whimsical emotion.
I like the first definition and feel that love can get us through challanges and can help create balance. It seems that there could never be too much of this love, but definitely not enough.
Money doesn’t act that way. The best part of love to me is real and accurate. Money is a symbol and an unfair marker of what we deserve, based on contrived biases and a system that needs to be corrected. I am not saying that there is no room for riches or luxury, but that hard working and powerless people deserve a more reasonable level of compensation and/or support. No easy solution…
Hump day thoughts. Wrote most if this on Wednesday. It is now Thursday. So much going on. I am very close to a clean version of my new song. If I get time to record today, it could land. Looking for the right balance of the resources I have.
Maybe the prose writing edges out the poem today. Just a poem.
There is always too much or not enough You know what I am talking about It goes for money And it is really rough It could get better without a doubt * Some folks can’t eat Some folks are hoarding stuff For some it seems like there’s no way out We need more money Some are just out of touch And act like they can’t hear the rest shout * We realize There is not enough love And how could there ever be too much? The fight for money Is always running We have the time We have resources Why does there have to be such a rush? * We need more money It is not funny It is a crime that we don’t join forces We must work on our issues of trust * There is always too much More than enough You know what I am talking about It goes for money And times are always tough It could get better without a doubt
I am not crazy about the poem, but a few poems a week, so look out for the next one.
Hard work, love and care deserves a decent quality of life. Just saying.
What is at the heart of the matter? The energy of life * Beyond the unwanted and unneeded Nothing can supersede it * All of the rest seems inconsequential * The heart of the matter Has got more potential, unimpeded We have to believe it * All of the rest is Now falling in place * When we get right down to it What matters the most Is what we hold close * At the heart of the matter Is something we chose It moves our whole world It pumps and life flows It sinks then it grows Through highs and lows That everyone knows * What is at the heart of the matter? It is what affects our life * Sometimes misunderstood still competing Things we can still succeed in * All of the rest is Just what we suppose It’s just how it goes
Dad is a rock for me I aim to be the same for my kids Supporting when needed and anchoring with integrity * Close connection still across distance * Sometimes like the wind Quick reactions Giving independence but still Working to guide towards success * And the flow of the water Nurturing lives Raising us to stand up on our own and shaping us with time For always
Dedicated To our causes Our visions Our missions Our dramatic pauses * Must admit we are Dedicated to our wins and our losses * Celebrate all we know All the possible When we are hard workers Or good bosses * When we know we are pros Read all the clauses It is not all for show We carry invisible crosses Sometimes we smash Into the trash Toss another irretrievable cost it just happens That’s life * Dedicated To every focus And just what our hope is That helps us to cope best Sometimes when we know best We invest and flow fast Troubles we go past And get by And feel glad No problem Good impact We get back Not outcast Having got through with diligence Some of it is just common sense We can celebrate Our impossible Wins and losses Our missions Our visions Our dedication to wellness And our causes Improving our lives
Exclamation End your sentence Share your ideas Rent-free tenants * Count your blessings They are quite impressive A happy life We are all contestants * A word’s precision And not pretended So efficient Depends how we meant it * Authentic mention The potential is ours With no apprehension Good sense is great power * Easy changes They rearrange everything we do Take us much further It is almost unheard of To work in strain Over again If we have the chance to choose Everything we do * We always change Everything is new * Life always changes Everything is new * Dissipation End false pretence Share your ideas The helpful content * Honest passage Is quite fantastic A happy life We are all impacted * A word’s precision And not offensive So efficient Because you meant it * Authentic comprehension The blend of calm and fire Demands our attention Depends if we are inspired
This poem is about love, for everyone. I hope everyone has love, the respect, caring and pull to spend time, platonic or romantic.
I have stars in my eyes Everyone can see them It is nothing new What can I do? I love you * I do what I can do To make it through I reach up for the prize From one point of view * Together forever We can see the blue skies Fire grows orange Smouldering clouds grey or white Sometimes shades of pink Our hearts are red Night fades to black In and out of my head
All of the colours attract * There are stars in the skies Everyone can see them It is nothing new What do you want to do? Our love is true * We do what we can do To make it through We will reach new heights And cope with lows too * Together forever We can see the blue skies Fire grows orange Smouldering clouds grey or white This time brave yellow My heart is red Night fades to black Bright stars and moon over head
Both light and dark will attract * Find the stars They can’t hide Every one can see them It is nothing new Love pulls us through
Between the beach and the sea The rocks are complete From rocks to the sky We will climb up high Forever is blue Between me and you * Between each day and the years The rocks will be here From rocks to our pride We will never hide Forever is new Between me and you * With all that we know We will feel high or low Sometimes we are shocked The way that things go We may know a lot And have something to show We are always rock We determine the flow * Within right now and right here The rocks make it clear Like rocks in the tide The waves we will guide Forever is true Between me and you
