In the middle of the minute
I succeed at the second
Life starts to get better
The world is out there
When is check in?
*
In the middle of the moment
We get through and stay golden
Life is best together
When we are out there
Love emboldens
*
In the middle of the sky
The sun shines during the day
In the middle of the night
The stars and moon show the way
*
A little light
can pull us through
The brightest day has shades of blue
Now we nurture all of
the visions at our center
The middle of sun beams
Has great adventure
*
So much more light
will guide us through
The darkest night has pathways too
Now we are certain of
The feeling at our center
The middle of a dream
Now we must enter
*
In the middle of the mixture
We stand strong, so resilient
Life is our forever
We are way out there
Mid is fair
Mid is brilliant

We can reach more
By speaking from the core
If we stand too far back
We will have no impact
*
Sports and music
Shows and lights
Accomplished days
Production nights
Work and play
Chores or games
Camera flashes
Art in frames
Video patches
Events fantastic
Sometimes just back at home relaxing
*
Keeping our goals in sight
Imagining success
and the steps that it takes
Confidence is the best
But caution helps us navigate
And by being enthusiastic
We can take more action
But nothing too drastic
*
Start a good thing
Or keep a good thing lasting
*
Reach up
Reach out
Take hold of the moment
*
We can get down
When tough things come around
We work
and think instead
There is good news ahead
*
Make it
how we want it
Keep our energy on top of things
Don’t ever stop
Feeling alright
Always think clear
This is our life

We try to make things happen
And sometimes we succeed
Other times we get washed up
And have nothing except need
*
If we don’t make it to the show
There will be many ramifications
There is something that they should know
The world is crumbling all around them
*
If we do get there on time
We will make a wall
That won’t fall
We will share a greater mind
The celebration will be kind
We will extend our experience
To everyone that we can reach
We will reach as far as we can
To get through every week
And day and hour
And share a working plan
Of how to stand together
To get those things we need
*
Our best expectations and then some
There are more than we believe
*
We try to make things happen
And sometimes we succeed
Other times we get washed up
And it is all that you can eat
*
If we don’t make it to the show
They may feel their own gratification
There is something that they should know
Our world is crumbling all around them
*
If we do get there on time
We will make a bridge
That won’t glitch
We will share a greater mind
The celebration will be kind
We will extend our experience
To everyone that we can reach
We will reach as far as we can
To get through every week
And day and hour
And share a working plan
Of how to stand together
To get those things we need
*
Our best expectations and then some
There are more than we believe
*
Find new goals and succeed
With new times to achieve

Another day in paradise?

But seriously, for moments, it can be and sometimes those moments stretch out, when we take care and get some breaks too.

Sometimes we have to make our own breaks and follow our own path.

The struggle is within perspective,
our situation, feellings and understanding.

Sometimes our day
Goes it’s own way
That we don’t plan
Or understand
With challenging events
That we may resent
*
Or other remarkable events
Creating new common sense
That keep us content
We don’t resent
the good things going on
*
Sometimes our day
Stops on a dime
Picks up all time
Seizing the moment
Amazing, encouraging events
That we keep present
*
Saving our lives in general events
We don’t have to pretend
To keep them content
Events can change
But stick in our brains
Embarrassment
Discontent
Don’t be tense
Don’t forget about
all of the good things going on
*
Keep our work at work
Our thoughts productive
Don’t let tough days abduct them
*
Feel the comfort that we create
*
Sometimes our day
Has it’s own way
That we help plan
And can understand
Enjoy the average events
that we all attend
and the good things going on

Work is work.

When do it well, we should be rewarded.

Competition can prevent fair compensation and cause unnecessary conflict.

If we can learn to work with competition, cooperate and have fair outcomes for all involved, then we will receive good news and find ways to stay on track.

I often wonder about the fight
Is it for real?
And is it right?
*
The battle has causes
No one wants losses
If we sit out
Is that allowed?
Because the reasons they have
I really doubt
*
I hear the thunder and see the light
It is so real
Both sound and sight
*
The weather has causes
Often with pauses
We send a scout
To suss it out
Because the warning it has
Is really loud
*
Crash smash and boom
It could be our doom
Or it could be someone playing music
in the next room
It could be conflict
Or it could be an act
If we stand for what is best
Good news we attract
*
If we should blunder into dark night
Nightmares are real
They have a bite
*
The cold fear has causes
We meet our bosses
We have to shout
To work it out
Or all the visions we have
Will have no clout
*
Crash smash and boom
Our whole future looms
It could be like people making music
We can’t assume
It could be conflict
Or it could be an act
If we stand for what is best
We get back on track

At any given time
A situation surrounds me
The whole world astounds me
There is no way to get around it
Now that we have found it
At any given time
It is all on the line
*
In any given moment
My own creation surrounds me
Only clear thoughts can ground me
There is just one way to get down to it
Now that I have found it
At any given time
I lay it on the line
*
On any given day
Frustration may surround me
The waves of life just pound me
There are many ways to account for it
But I could drown in it
At any given time
They could throw me a line
*
We will cross the line to reach the finish
Don’t let our efforts ever diminish
Head above water
Somehow we can win this
Calm or excited
Stable is this wish
That we get through okay
To find a good way
On any given day
*
At any given time
Pure elation could surround me
My positivity hounds me
There are better ways and amounts of it
I do love the sound of it
At any given time
Optimism tows the line

Monday… Coffee…

There are a lot of situations that we deal with on a day to day basis. Some, we can influence. Some, we have less impact on.

In the end, in my eyes, there is a balance and it does pull for justice, because that is ultimately what we all want for ourselves.

Some are narcissistic or too selfish, but I feel that enough people want justice overall, so that, in my opinion, it does have an impact overall, over time. Despite the fact that there will be injustices, the tendency in humanity has to be towards finding a fair world, and justice for all, because in my opinion, it is human nature to want justice (even if some people need more guidance).

A Higher Justice

The higher ups
Don’t know enough
Sometimes the important details
don’t make it that high
It helps if we try
It helps if they try
Sometimes they are too high in the sky
With their head in the clouds
Feeling so proud
That they don’t ask why
*
Sometimes there are barriers
That are much scarier
For the ones below
With all that we know
*
If we share empathy
We can all see more
of what we all need
*
Now they say that empathy relating
Or feeling what others feel
Is some kind of misdeed
Because it takes their resources
To join all our forces
It is easier to fight for a few
than to fight for many
It’s easier not to fight at all
When they already have plenty
*
But the plenty can disappear
Just like they fear
If things are not fair
Because there
Is a balance that will resurface
When the world starts to hurt us
*
They can wipe out some justice rising
But the resilience of balance
Can be suprising
Arriving at last
We can’t change the past
But the current happens fast
And the future by nature
Will always be
purely
Compromising

All the while
If we are getting stronger
With our brain
We can wait a little longer
Along the edge of the river
Strangely enough
We do not feel too rough
After the disaster
that happened around us
We find sure ways
to get back to laughter
In darkness some humour
Sometimes macabre
And sometimes in these hours
We connect to more powers
confidence makes it happen faster
Like some type of master
Strong ever after
Every where that we go
When our good plans and good luck thrill
We start to feel indestructible
*
Nothing can break us
In this time and place
Life is so great
Let’s find ways to keep up to this pace
Be strong and don’t be wrong
It is the current that we face
*
When we smile
Then we are getting stronger
Without heart
It would take a whole lot longer
Along the edge of the river
Sure enough
We start to feel more tough
After the last hassle
that happened around us
We find sure ways
to get back to tackle
The darkness and rumours
Sometimes they matter
And sometimes in these hours
We connect to more powers
confidence makes it happen faster
Like some type of spell caster
Strong ever after
Every where that we go
When our good sense and hard work spill
We start to feel indestructible
*
Nothing can break us
In this time and place
Life is so great
Let’s find more ways to work with this space
Be strong and get along
It is the future that we face

This is what I do, fight the fight…. And write.

This is not a song written below, but on the link, I have 43 rough songs, averaging one per month. These are made up of some lead and rhythm guitar, my lyrics and vocals, all performed simultaneously on one track.

You can’t make this stuff up
But do not try to judge it
It might be just an opinion
That becomes how we budget
An all-encompassing rule
That does not hesitate
To discriminates
With distaste or hate
But does not consider
The facts that make up the case
From angles that we can debate
Instead people jump the table
Because they are able
Aiming to overturn truth
with their views unstable
But favored by the system
And their choice of label
That they twist how they want
Just like a fable
That they create
To make a point
With the popular opinion
that they have coined
Joined slanted lies into a dominion
To help the established divisions
Become even more powerful
By validating views
That aren’t always true
Like you can’t make this stuff up
But they stand it up
With biases that are already there
Because we are already aware
But we are still missing many angles
That show that we care
And try to play fair
They just hijack the truth
With what seems apparent
From staring too close
At perspectives that are not
sharing our
basic need and diligence
Or preparing for accurate views
not just about one or two
but about including me and you
And everyone too
Which we can prove
If we are given the time
And new proof
Not too aloof
But down to Earth
Stuff that we just can’t make up

A sudden crash
Happens fast
There is no waste when we last
+
Get through with no aftermath
A good mood can make it past
*
Centred and charging
Adapting so smartly
So we can enjoy our time
Stay well and thrive
As we stay alive
More than survive
*
The intense smash
Potent flash
There is no haste that can last
*
We get through well, smile and laugh
A good mood can get us past
*
We get through best, have a blast
Some good moods will never crash
