Pleasure or pain

Ambiguous moments in between

Content or tolerant

Celebrate or become numb

No more suffering

Find a space in our mind

where we can leave behind 

Anything else

Everything else

**

Weakness or strength 

Ambiguous moments in between

Passive or aggressive

Have to wait till we are done

No unnecessary attacks

Find a space to be fine

Where we can get behind

Anything else

Everything else

**

Support the shelters

Give the shirt off our back

Can I buy you lunch

Within this social context?

*

Build our lives

Clothe our trends

Eat our time

Have good friends

*

We have to make amends

For unfair judgements made

Lives forsaken

And actions taken

Out of context

**

Nightmare or dreams

Ambiguous moments in between

Abyss or consciousness

Anticipate we have just one

No more unsure situations

Find a space well-designed 

Where we don’t fall behind

Anything else

Everything else

***

New scenes

Timeless machines

Systems

that guide our existence

*

Connections in gold

That never grow old

Nothing will prevent our visions

*

There is always something after

At times, consequential laughter

Dreams in sleep, memory or apparitions

*

No future is bold

Without having soul

Despite what they call

Superstitions

**

New scenes

Timeless machines

Structures

that define our production

*

Connections in gold

That can’t be bought or sold

Nothing can prevent our induction

*

Forever going full tilt

Life is independently built

Mostly shown from our own deductions

*

No future unfolds

Without having soul

Recognize we are All under construction

**

New scenes

Timeless machines

Language

that expands our perception

*

Connections in gold

Off our tongues the words roll

Nothing can prevent our reflection

*

We share perspectives of life

Conscious connections arrive

For more health, share the wealth

We All need protection

*

No future is told

Without having soul

True that sometimes our work needs correction

**

New scenes

Timeless machines

Today

Determines our dimension

*

Connections in gold

That yesterday once stole

Nothing can prevent comprehension

*

Time recovers the past

The present goes by so fast

I prepare, stay aware

And break through tension

*

No future unfolds

Without having soul

Our connection shouldn’t go without mention

Through my window

I see clouds in the sky

A storm meets my eye

Like a rock concert

Rain connects with the glass

Like fans with the stars

Never getting in but making

A very enthusiastic effort

Leaving a temporary

Impression

A winding trail

Fuel like gas in cars

For a moment

Victory heals scars

Like delicious jam in jars!

To take us all far

**

Smashing through the sky

Shattering the lie

I can’t mistake you for

The pain I’ve known before

There is no eternal war

We are clear to be

Who we want to be

And we both know

that we’ve got more in store

Peace and love and equity

Should be the vibe

That will forever be

Strengthening our core

And opening our door

**

We want to escape

But we get down deeper

Because there’s

No other place to go

Let’s look more closely at what we see

And salvage every part of it

Everything we should know

Let’s find out how much

Of what we see

is really just for show

**

Thousands of friends

are drumming at the pane

Gentle splashing hits

over and over again

There’s no sense on a rainy day

When we hear them play

To opening up the window

We are better to wait

Till warmth hits the glass

Then let in

The waiting sun’s

Calm bright glow

that also helps us roll

**

Here we are on this rock

A stone’s throw away from the sun 

When it shines through

Cheering me up

It may also reflect back

As if we are the only ones

The day bounces off me

Then crashes through the door

bringing new truth unannounced

We’ve learned to rock on

Before our time is all gone

Because now is

The only window that counts

***

Thoughtful energy

Or forgotten manners

*

Sometimes we barrel through life

with our own agenda

*

I always want to begin

To forge many new friendships

Sometimes I am at odds with people

Because of things we assume

*

Sometimes I just want to win

To clinch the championship

Maybe I will talk about the past

Or the next things I will do

**

Thoughtful synergy

Or forgotten plans

*

Sometimes we struggle through life

with our tough schedules

*

I always want to begin

To develop peace and love

Sometimes I am at odds with the times

Because I’m in a rush to get through

*

Sometimes I just want to win

To connect to spirits above

Maybe I will talk about the past

Or the next things we can do

**

We do have a choice

*

We should be asking ourselves every day

“Are we making a difference?”

*

If we can summon good spirit

There is nothing else

that we will ever need

*

And our world will function

**

Laugh all you want

It it helps shape what you need

And makes you feel alright

If it helps us have good feelings

**

Laugh all you want

It it helps you feel more free

And makes you feel alright

If it helps focus

Thoughtful feelings

**

No forgotten manners

No forgotten kind plans

In any of our dealings

More thoughtful energy

Creates more thoughtful synergy

We can laugh all we want

If we are

Entertaining thoughtful feelings

**

Thoughtful feelings

Or forgotten understanding

*

Sometimes we shuffle through life

With our own calendar

I always want to begin

To create more connection

Sometimes I’m at odds with the day

Because of things I’m expected to do

*

Sometimes I just want to win

But then with more reflection

Maybe I’ll think about the past

And the things we first need to do

**

We do have a choice

*

We should be asking ourselves every day

“How can we make a difference?”

*

If we can learn to always reflect

We may find something else

That will help us succeed

Past more critical junctions

*

Laugh all you want

It it helps you succeed

And makes you feel alright

If it helps us have good feelings

Peace peace peace

When will we be getting some?

Peace peace peace

Can come from

The beat of a drum

Peace peace peace

Comes from a calm blue sky

Peace peace peace

Can arrive in the blink of an eye

Or leave just as fast

But not if

Balanced visions

are vibrant and vast 

**

Peace peace peace

When will we be sharing some?

Peace peace peace

Can come from

A guitar strum

Peace peace peace

Comes from blending colours

Peace peace peace

Can arrive

By loving all others

Or leave if we forget

That we need

Balanced feelings

for our safety net

*

So we catch everyone

**

If the sky is falling

We can save more of the world

By clearing our minds and then hauling

Every voice that is calling

Synthesize a vision

With a balance

that keeps out hate

We may have to wait

But after a while

Stop feeling vile suffering driving revenge

Find a smile with more strength

That quite plainly

makes more sense

For our humanity

**

Peace peace peace

When will we be getting some?

Peace peace peace

Can come from

When we sing and hum

Peace peace peace

Comes when we share and listen

Peace peace peace

Can arrive with

one group mission

Or leave if we split

But not if

Balanced feelings

Always return quick

***

I am a stranger to you

And that’s a danger to me

There is no way to get through

With what I have to say

*

There’s no way to share

What would benefit us both

There’s no way you will care

And you will never know

*

While I think I’m so smart

There is much more to learn

Like how to climb up to your fire

Without getting burned

**

You are a higher up

And I’m a further down low

There’s no way to get past that

So I have no where to go

*

There’s no way to share

While we’re in the same boat

I am much more aware

But you will never know

*

Though we think we are smart

There is much more to learn

Like how can strangers be trusted

And how can we share this world?

**

There is much more to learn

We have a universe

Packed with stuff

And sometimes

We can

Perfectly understand it

*

I can understand based

On what we all know

And from being pulled

Through life by an undertow

*

Strange what we learn

When it’s all for show

And then we learn what we learn

When we are getting down low

Or while we just make it through life

And go with the flow

**

I am a stranger to you

And that’s a danger to me

There is a way to get through

That’s what I have to say

*

It’s not exceedingly rare

But it benefits us both

it takes both of us to care

To bring solutions close

*

There’s a clear way to get smarter

And a clear way to learn

If we know strangers enough

Their perspective is observed

***

Hiding beneath the October moon

Secret thoughts

Actions unseen

by another living eye

Winding through forests

or above clouds

Creatures elusive

Prepare for the night

Hastened by Autumn reflections

Large in the sky

Flashing signs of full form

Days away from eclipse

A world blocking our view

**

Wicked lives

Crushing sacred visions

Known only for their plastic souls

Eyes behind images

Light up like fire

Aware only of the night

Until day burst through

Clamouring for our attention

Soon a time arrives

When all eyes look together

And see past the day and night

Past yesterday, today and tomorrow

Into our collective consciousness

**

Flying into the forbidden dream

Faster than a nightmare

Forgotten like we are falling trash

Clinging to branches of life

That have held us up this year

Frail from the Fall frost

We create a cool fire

A distraction

Dangerous only to the unprepared mind

And we sink our teeth

into the candy-coated moon

**

What we eat

Should not defeat our morals

We can push to make it better

Take care with what we are consuming

Forbid pain

In practical ways

With more heart

To make it more fair

Sacrifice harmful pleasure

Improve the balance over time

Reflect calm from the day

The sun

Always

Out of darkness

Emerges

The moon

**

Flying bats

And terrifying cats

There are

No living creatures without feeling

What we show on stage

Should not be an example

Unless promoting

More wellness than suffering

Screens are buffering

Kindness endearing

Hope more frequently appearing

Rhymes and song words

Should not be unheard

If they prevent

Harm, hate and fearing

**

A cool fire

A distraction

From dark night

The moon

Many suspect

that it changes our tune

If it’s full

Some reflect

It may get hectic real soon

But in my eyes it gives us

Power and energy

Majestic wolves croon

We can realize our urges

Not just dirges

Find magic and passion

Like the call of the loon

**

No stigma

Let’s have justice

Midnight or noon

Let us all be protected

Share respect for

All others

With the Sun in the day

And no matter how

Mysterious

Be brave

And don’t misconstrue

Good intentions obscured

*

Find strength in the light

Of the night’s brilliant moon

***

A storm

Reaches out into my day

Words are said

Into skies dark grey

*

A storm

Reaches out past the weather

Intense events cluster together

*

I speak out

Aiming to improve the situation

My ranting

Is presumed as sycophantic

And my heart sinks into my shoes

*

Along with puddles and raindrops

Dampening my views

**

Sun’s warmth

Reaches out into my day

Words are said

Into bright sun rays

*

Sun’s warmth

Reaches out past the weather

Calming events in our endeavour

*

I speak out

Aiming to improve the situation

My reason

Concludes with an advantage

And my heart floats into the blue

*

With wisps of clouds and birds flying

Lifting up my views

**

Moods change and so can views

With storms or sunny weather

Moods change and so can views

Of storms or sunny weather

It we climb up each day

To share our view

We can keep it all together

When people have their say

And share their view

We can keep us all together

Dont feel bad and don’t feel sad

We always have forever

There’s always change in the weather

**

Clouds form

Reaching out into my day

Words are said

Into the white and grey

*

Clarity forms

Reaching out past the weather

Brand new events happen forever

*

I speak out

Aiming to improve the situation

My angle

Renews yet it is all planned out

And my heart always beats on cue

*

Like thunder, lightning & the warm sun

Perpetuating my view

***

It doesn’t matter

How nuch we learn

There is always something new

Sometimes we get farther

Taking it slowly

But sometimes

when we are out in the world

No matter what speed we go

In the big picture

Between death and life

Sometimes there are things

We should be knowing

But don’t hold your breath

Some things won’t be showing

**

It really matters where you are

When it comes to your expertise

Sometimes you are smarter

Than you are showing

But sometimes when you are

out in the world

No matter how much you know

With all the chaos

All the stress and strife

Sometimes it’s harder

To keep on going

And the challenges

continue Growing

**

They say we are nothing

Compared to stars that are tall

in a system that’s falling

No provision for humanity

Unless we

take a stand to be

On our own

with more plans complete

To live well

And share everything

*

Then we are something

*

Deep battle scars

It’s not our fault

Coyotes calling

**

It doesn’t matter what we say

If it doesn’t impact a mind

Sometimes we are guarded

By staying low and

In those times when we are

out in the world

No matter how much we show

With all the conflict

It’s still best to drive

Sometimes it’s chartered

We just keep going

No way to impress

We just keep flowing

**

They say we are nothing

Compared to wars above all

In a system appalling 

No provision for humanity

Unless we

have planned to be

On our own

No demands to compete

To live well

Then share everything

*

So we are something

*

Between guns and cars

It’s not always our fault

Coyotes calling

***

Whatever

I said it

Does it matter to anyone?

*

Maybe it’s just me

*

And I’m still feeling fine

Maybe we don’t have to worry about it

And no one crossed the line

*

Let’s just get past it

And on with the day

We don’t have to think about

Everything

that comes our way

What was it again?

What did I say?

Whatever

**

Whatever

I try to reflect

Now we’re on the run

*

Maybe it’s just me

*

I must be going blind

Maybe we will make it through fine

No problem 

Just by focusing our mind

*

Let’s get down to it

And dial in our day

We may have to think deeper

About Life

that comes our way

What was it again?

What did I say?

**

I won’t say it then

It is not that clever

But if you say,

“We can’t make it better”

I’ll say,

“Whatever”

*

We can make life better

And balance best

Don’t just say, ”Whatever”

Work hard

And take care of the rest

*

End of the day

I must confess

Time to chill out

Time for a rest

Wait

Pop Quiz

Another test

Whatever

**

Whatever

Early dismissal

Now let’s be more fun

*

Maybe it’s just me

*

But I keep getting signs

Maybe we are on the same wave length again

There’s more energy to find

*

Let’s get through to it

And boost our day

We should really think about

Connections

That come our way

What was it again?

What did I say?
