I do what I do
Because that’s how I feel well
Live well
and be well
*
I think what I think
Because I can sort things out
All doubt
Can get out
Right out of the park
*
Moving fast around the bases
All I can think of is faces and places
Cheering loudly for social graces
Success happens when it’s
Not a phase and
We have good taste
*
We make it happen
By having the mind set
Learn how to find it
By following the play
Every single day

*
And do what we do
Because we work to feel well
Live well
And be well
*
I do what I do

I hope we ALL feel well
Live well
and be well
*
We think what we think
Somehow we will sort things out
So loud
If we shout
When the lights go dark
*
Proving mass
the curtain raises
All we can think of is faces and aces
Cheering loudly for social graces
Success happens when we
Keep the pace
*
and make it happen
By having the mind set
Learn how to time it
Having patience with fate
Every single day

*
And do what we do
Because we strive to feel well
Live well
And be well

I write for fun and as a way to share ideas, hopefully in a healthy way, and by healthy, I also mean a rewarding, working way.

I started this poem last night and this is what I came up with this morning.

• Just as a flashback, I found this picture. This is a Datsun 1600, I drove this for a while in the 1990’s.

***

Looking out the window
From our speeding car
The world is the driver
Taking us so far
I see other cars and people
And the road
and a steep hill
Trees line the highway
As we climb this mountain
In this time we all have free will
We don’t question our choice
We must have a voice
Most of us say
If we had it our way
It would all be free
Everything that we see
And where we want to be
Is at the start of a fine day
It should be a divine day
it might stay
That is why we work
We deserve some perks
We may be passengers
But we are also engineers
We are creators of our own pathway
Either slower or in the fast lane
Stories and visions
Steering precision
The map in our head
Directions we are led
Intricate, intense routes we trace
And destinations that we chase
The challenges we face
All to be knowing good people
Each place
All of our designs stay
We do whatever we find may
Enhance our life
By parking our choice
Getting out of the ride
And meeting our world
Together we share the challenge
If we pay attention
To find the best ways
To get by
in these places
and share our lives gracefully
Skillfully
Or at least
Carefully
Yet sometimes wildly charging
Living to the fullest
From one travel to the next
The journey never ends

Justice does not mean
much to many
Of course
To many
it does mean a lot
*
Especially for
those that become caught
in unfair situations
needing something to happen
To get out of a nasty spot
*
Sometimes injustice
comes from massive systems like
Society, big business and the government
*
Sometimes a villain holds us down
Sometimes that is their intent
Sometimes they don’t even know
that they are doing it
Until fair warning is sent
*
Sometimes it is a neighbour, family or friend
*
Seems that it should be easy
to reach out to one of them
*
Sometimes speaking up will help
Sometimes it is an intense grind
Sometimes we do it to ourselves
Sometimes the world is out of line
*
Justice does not mean much to many
Buf for many
It means everything
*
Especially for those feeling the sting
In unfair situations
Needing something to happen
What can our best dealing now bring?
*
Sometimes our justice
comes from our perspectives like
Changing attitudes
Away from vain dominance
*
Sometimes a hero makes it fair
Sometimes they seem heaven-sent
Sometimes they don’t even know
that they are doing it
Fair, just when a thought is spent
*
Sometimes it is just anyone that can attend
*
It is not always easy
to reach out to one of them
*
We should all reach out
now and then
*
Justice is about our health
All of the time body and mind
Sometimes we stand up for ourselves
Sometimes our world is on the line

Calm and optimistic
Realistic from my perspective
A contrast to others
We don’t have to be so selective
Convenience can cause it
We can always stop it
If we take a hard look at the situation
And find ways to unlock it
*
Try to be enthusiastic
Realistic with these perspectives
A big boost for others
When we are being more receptive
Experience deposits
Love of life
Get on it
If we take a close look at the situation
Talk the talk then We walk it
*
For so many days
We find ways to share strong praise
For the people that we reach
And the places that we stay
*
In all of my life
Learned that gratitude is wise
On the pathways that we lead
Earth below strives for the skies
Take care of events that coincide
With many causes
*
And how we describe
The mysteries and histories
From when we are born
to when we die
And any other experience
Way down low or way up high
*
An honest dynamic
Realistic from all perspectives
Connections to others
That become totally objective
Allegiance that we wanted
Synergy undaunted
From the start of our time
To each situation
When we all have responded
*
For all of our time
Connect or not by design
In daily life that we lead
Days will shine We are alright
Each drive kicks in and then we arrive
With many causes
*
And now we describe
Through discussion and listening
Our time together
And live our life
And every type of experience
Down and low
Or spirits high
*
Calm and optimistic
Realistic from our perspective

We know the special ones
That connection
True reflection
Dedicated in ways that we can be
Forever each moment
With careful planning
Make it upstanding
Always do our best
*
We need the caring ones
That protection
True affection
Celebrated in ways that there can be
Forever each moment
Many years spanning
Each second landing
Good times are the best
*
We win together
sharing strategies
taking stands
to find health in body and mind
*
We are together
Like social machines with demands
Finding wealth just by
keeping time
*
We love the only ones
Those exceptions
Through selection
Integrated each way that we can be
Forever each moment
Now understanding
Future expanding
How we connect best
*
We win together
by sharing the means
and our plans
to find health in body and mind
*
We are together
Like good times and peace should command
Find more wealth just by
being kind

This is just a poem from this morning, having a coffee, and thinking of personal drives, social rhythms and connection, among other things.

We can be
certain of one thing
It is happening right now
We are part of the greater energy
We get used to it some how
*
We reach from one level to the next
with impacts affecting everything
We are social
We have emotions
We feel everything that we believe
*
For everything that we believe
We always will compete
Get used to our strong feelings
Boundaries we can’t exceed
*
We will not
Go over the top
Feel good managing right now
*
We stay so
True while they still doubt
It is happening right now
We are part of the greater energy
They get used to it some how
*
We reach from one connection to the next
With respect approaching everything
We are flowing
We have devotion
We can reach everything that we need
*
Everything that we ever need
Should not stay incomplete
Appreciate our feelings
So that we will succeed
*
The only challenge is feeling balanced
It is happening right now
We are part of the greater energy

When i see themes and certain plot twists, i think about how life all plays out, spontaneous or rehearsed …

All of life seems to be programmed
We just build on our
experience
Not to say
that it’s all been planned
But there is a plan
it just makes sense
*
Each new event the data brings
We are always primed and ready
Our actions keep on happening
The flow of our life stays steady
Core strength stays strong like a rock
Fast or slow, time never stops
Our senses keep on perceiving
Keeping us believing
Consciousness or dreaming
*
Life is wound up like a clock
Minds keep moving
Never stop
Each hour keeps on achieving
Time’s fabric still weaving
Consciousness is streaming
*
All of life seems to be programmed
We just build on our
experience
I must say
New ideas stand
But time’s map still spans
it just makes sense
*
The sun and sky stay on top
Light’s energy never stops
A clear mind keeps on conceiving
New feeling retrieving
Consciousness is beaming

I am not sure if this poem is cohesive, but it does seem connected to the idea of “the pull,” on our coffee, of a falling bin, of each other, of a drink, of the moon and our favourite tune. Just saying: this is creative writing, not a science… it is more specifically about how we manage our challenging days.

Three cups of coffee
And worked for nine days straight
There are dishes in the sink
They will just have to wait
*
The trashbin on the driveway
Was knocked over by raccoons
The mess is real
I can not deal
I have to get to work real soon
*
People in life mean well
and I appreciate the feeling
Those that do not mean well
can put us all through hell
But should try to do much more healing
So they do not step on our last nerve
So we don’t have to fight their dealing
When that is just
not what we deserve
Understand how we are appealing
*
Just one
Okay
On the go any way
Together best
Together feeling
It’s our best guess
No one concealing
*
Shared world
Shared day
A shared life any way
We share each breath
No one is stealing
Together test
This is the real thing
*
A drink much later
Now worked for ten days straight
Chores are finally done
Our work is never late
*
Sounds and sights through the doorway
Are influenced by the moon
The tides are real
Like how we feel
When we play our favourite tune

They can all see
just as clearly as me
What is in the sky
And what is on my mind
*
It is up and down
I hope it all comes around
Cool rain and warm sun
We rest
Then we run
Existence designed
*
They can all see
Exactly what I see
What is on the ground
Everything that we found
*
You can’t make this stuff up
But it fills up our cup
Heals pain
It’s this one
Surreal
is the sound
*
We get through
With all that we do
I get through
With all that I do
*
Get through
To find out what’s new
Always the sun
That is how life runs
Without it
We would be frozen
and shattered
Flatlined
and scattered
Then we find out what matters
You are all that matters
*
All through the night
behind clouds
Or in a room
The sun keeps us alive
just like the world and you
*
We count on the sun and moon
The world and you
It’s what we do
It’s how we get through
*
You can all see
Just as clearly as me
What is in the sky
And why we are alive
*
Life puts it down
It all comes around
Cold storms then hot sun
Work hard
Have some fun
Existence designed

Specific inspiration.

The natural part is something to write about. Super natural British Columbia, even at this destination just outside of the big city.

A village beyond the trees
Through the leaves
Behind the beach
The mountains look far past
While the water just looks
So deep
*
Walk down the path until we
Fill the streets
Sun still has reach
Autumn has much less heat
Cool fall days
Refreshing
Complete
*
The sky watches everything
And listens
to birds that sing
Or piercing birds of prey
Wisps of clouds
Lift the eagle’s wings
*
No rain here now this season
We will feel
A chilled breeze or
Moments the sun’s warmth plays
This bright blue fall day won’t freeze us
*
Within this world
We use trails or sidewalks
Roads for our vehicles
Leading to driveways
Parking and buildings
Garages and storefronts
apartments and houses
*
Within this world
Take life’s trails or pathways
Like branches of the trees
Some become bare now
Save for evergreens
Trees red gold and yelliow
soon stand out so starkly
*
Channels in the Earth are locked
Streams rise hot from molten rock
Steam twists
Cold air contrasts
Through hot spring pools
wade, swim and walk
*
Spirit never gets run down
What we found is all around
A new day we will meet
One day my friend will be renowned
