For hours we work
Fighting the good fight
Engaging life with an
Excellent appetite
*
Must be a winner
Get home for dinner
Nice to be in the light
And having a bite
*
For days we strain
Fighting for insight
With payment ripe for my
Excellent appetite
*
Ethics outstanding
As we do the planning
Standing up for what’s right
And feeling tight with the giver of resources
Of course we are working for it
We will never ignore it
We keep it in sight
And fight the good fight
*
For years we work
Fighting for highlights
Engaging life with an
Excellent appetite
*
Not a beginner
Outlasting the winner
Nice to share our warm light
A candle at night
*
Forever we stay
Fighting the goos fight
It plays out fine for my
Excellent appetite

Thought provoking article
With exclusion of one angle
When we get right down to it
It is all that we can handle
*
The opinion of us all
Should never ever fall
Take a reality check
And think about our life
**
Working to be practical
We introduce our own angle
Then we read between the lines
And it all seems to be planned out
*
The deep meaning in us all
Is written on the wall
We can deny or accept
And think about our life
*
Sometimes I read into things
When I think I have an angle
I have to be so sure
Only truth can endure
We can not believe
everything we read
We should let way more
Logic take the lead
Ask ourselves
is this a safe news feed?
Does it aim to help?
Does if create
and support a better life and health?
or it more about
the ways to store stale wealth?
What is worth believing?
How can we help our world?
Let’s have another word

We have to try
To fill up the sky
If we are going to
Get through the day
We should look out
In every way

*

Stars in our eyes
Show up in the sky
If.we are flowing through
We move the day
We have no doubt
In any way

*

It is what we make it
How far can we take it?
We find the best way to live
With each situation

*

We don’t ask why
The sun in the sky
Is always showing through
We choose the day
We find the route
There’s just one way
To get past doubt

*

Face the day
Get it all out
Follow the sky and
To the world be devout

*

We have to strive
To be more alive
If we are going to
Help save the day
We should look out
In every way

*

Stars in our eyes
Flow up to the sky
Visions are glowing too
We change the day
There is no doubt
In any way

*

It is what we make it
How far can we take it?
We find the best way to live
Each day we’ve created

Some of these weekly poems are snapshots of a philosophy, maybe not something that I can enact or endorse all of the time, but something in the context of the moment at the very least.

In the picture below at White Rock, there are dozens of sand pipers (or similar type bird; I am not sure which). They are balled up and then in a second fly up in a synchronous blanket, shifting with every moment in perfect harmony.

I hope that I always have the pesence of mind
To avoid falling behind
In my deep respect for life
and with the simple necessities

*

I can focus on this
And then focus on that
Respect can look different
From each different angle
And in the time what makes sense to me

*

I have to fous on what comes up at the time
Each new angle that I find
Every second is designed
What is best for life is best for me
That has to be
my philosophy

*

I have to put up with myself
and my decisions in the moments
In some ways I have to be first
With my vision for all my causes
And with my efforts
In all I feel, hear and see
What is best for life
is best for me

*

I can focus on this
And then focus on that
Respect should be excellent
From each different angle
And in the time what makes sense to me

*

I have to fous on what comes up at the time
Each new angle that I find
Every second is sublime
What is best for life is best for me
That tends to mean
Balance everything

*

I have to keep up with my health
To find provisions for the moments
In some ways I have to be first
In my mission with all my causes
And with my efforts
In all I do, think and speak
What is best for life
is best for me

---

Life can be
Made up of one steady mood
It is about how we handle it
Like how we balance
With our good attitude
*
Life can be
Just like our favourite food
Full of just what we put into it
With flavours we love
to be tasted and chewed
*
Life is what we make it
The perspective we take
Shapes all our days
As we stay in this place
Calmly aware
And trying to take care
Or starting a blaze
Trying to make space
There are many ways
That a good life stays
*
Life can be
To you what you have accrued
If for you, money and wealth make it
But our shared comfort
Seems truly far less crude

Monday…. Already.

I’m just going to start a poem, while I have my coffee…. As usual…

And it is now ready. Not even finished my coffee!

All Time

The day starts just like this
It’s about what we know
What we learn before we wake up
From our dreams on the go
And everything before that
That is part of the show
*
Is there something I missed?
Should I go with the flow?
Will the ice start to break up
In this season of snow?
So soon we will get past that
We don’t have to feel low
*
We are grounded
Connected
But not laying down
We surmounted
The hectic
And hot rays we have found
*
From the sun in the sky
That will never die
The light that it shines
Will last for all time
**
The day ends just like this
It’s about what we know
What we learn from the full daytime
From our dreams on the go
And everything before that
That is part of the show
*
Is there something I missed?
I still go with the flow
Now the days start to heat up
In this season that grows
With these weeks on a fast track
We’re all in the same boat
*
Are we counted?
Selected
While they play around
All the mountains
Protecting
The hard days we have found

Choose the sun in the sky
To open our eyes
The light that they shine
Will last for all time

---

---

Some times will never be the same
Ages may change and not happen again
But then somewhere deep in our brain
It is there as plain as day

*

Memory and current experience
Present times
Daily life and common sense
Can be as intense as anything
But we can barely comprehend

*

Some times will forever remain
Stages may change but with angles that stay
And in some way we will be trained
Nothing to explain away

*

Behaviour and current experience
Present mind
Working life and what we sense
Can be as intense in everything
If we can reach out and extend

+

Our best intentions
Concentrate
on a better fate
Memory
Or a future date
Experience now
We don’t have to wait

Life can be like a really good book

Or it can seem out of whack

Days can have a bleak outlook

But it is about how we adapt

*

The sun shines in good times

The clouds have happy times too

But storms that are normal in life

Can come out of the blue

*

The sun feeds the flames

Then rain quenches the fire

While some of us can kick back

Casual chaos we admire

**

Life can be like an awesome movie

Or it can seem off the mark

Awful and not improving

Until we hit it out of the park

*

The sun sees some hard times

The clouds can bring tough times too

But the storms that form in our life

Can fade into the blue

*

The moon calms the flames

Then the stars shine their fire

While life can get dense and dark

A spark of light can still inspire

**

Life needs enough light for our story

Or it will seem hard to take

We want comfort and glory

Perspective is something that we make

***

Are we okay?
I would like to think that we are
It will depend
on every day to day
in many ways
We can get so far

*

We can have it made
We are who we are
If we look above
We find all of our stars

*

Checking in on the situation
Reaching out just enough
So much more than just okay
We all still need to be so tough

*

Open up
Dont shut it down
Speak our mind
To all around
Say what it helps to say

**

Are we okay?
Are we okay?!
I would like us all to get far
There is no better way to have it made
In many ways
Than to stop our war

*

We will have our say
As tough as we are
We have had enough
It has gone way too far

*

Change the entire situation
Reach out more than enough
Find more ways to be okay
We will push through when times are tough

*

Turn it on
And burn it off
Speak our mind
Never stop
Say what it helps to say

*

Are we okay?

We are tight

Out of sight

And in plain view too

We don’t fight

We’re both right

We find ways to get through

*

Great minds think alike

We have nothing to prove

We may agree to disageee

Or together we will choose

What is fair

From other angles

We work it out

You ask

Is it always like that?

For the future

Present day

And what we remember of the past

*

Pay back

Caring attack

Reward and respect

We have a blast

as we attract

**

We have bite

Out of sight

And in plain view too

It stays light

Until night

Either way, we get through

*

Great minds think alike

Wise minds learn to soothe

We may agree to disagree

Or together we will choose
