Constructive optimism

How about some of that?

We need people to open their eyes

And for a good outcome get on track

*

Positivity is great

To encourage a better day

But we also have to make it work

In a legit proactive way

*

Design steps

Walk the path

Talk to the people

Double check

Do the math

Find ways to reach out

And climb up this steep hill

**

Productive optimism

How about some more of that?

We need people to realise

For more good outcomes

Faith should be intact

*

Objectivity is great

To discover the truth of the day

But we also need

Good insight to find the sun

when the sky is grey

*

Define steps

Walk them fast

Talk to the people

Double check

So we all

Get past

Find ways to reach through

Until we all feel well

**

So many ways to have good days

If we plan them

And stand for them

Like seeing

Sunshine through a haze

We can find the silver lining

And realise inherent goodness

As optimism pays

**

Effective optimism

How do we get some of that?

We need more people to arrive

At better outcomes

And start to have the knack

*

Sensitivity is great

When we’re feeling

as strong as the day

We all have soft hearts

Sometimes we need

A tough skin

For things to be okay

*

Align steps

Walk them last

Talk to the people

Double check

That we all can pass

Find ways to reach out far

And the energy will feel real

**

So many ways

to have good days

If we plan them

And understand them

By filling lifetimes

with more praise

We can create more peace of mind  

To facilitate essential goodness

As optimism pays

I say so many things

I can’t say what matters most

I’m chasing down a metaphor

I’m chasing down a ghost

The world eats us whole

We all have one soul

For health & energy

We make our plans

Words play a massive role

If only we could meet

All the world’s demands

Everyone’s demands

**

I say so many things

I can’t say what matters most

I’m chasing down the horizon

I’m chasing down the coast

The sun is our only goal

We all have one soul

For health and energy

We take our stand

Words play a realistic role

If only we could reach

All the world’s demands

Everyone’s demands

**

I can’t stand

All the demands

Where are all the supplies?

It’s getting out of hand

*

We’ve been hypnotised

I wouldn’t be surprised

If they were all disguised

Designing a new brand

Of supply and demand

*

Supply and demand

Maybe it’s all been planned

We can try to understand

It’s completely out of hand

**

I say so many things

I can’t say what matters most

I’m chasing down my poetry

I’m chasing down the next post

But this bridge has a sky-high toll

We all have one soul

For health and energy

We form a band

Words play a massive role

If only we could beat

All the world’s demands

Everyone’s demands

**

No one can really stand

All the demands

Where are all the supplies?

It’s way too out of hand

*

Faith may seem wise

So we reach up to the skies

Either way we’re criticised

For reaching out our hand

Just for supply or demand

*

Supply and demand

Maybe it’s all been planned

Now we strive to understand

But it’s totally out of hand

***

We take exception to detail.

If we shift context

And put ourselves

in different crowds

locations

or maybe

just different times and paradigms of the day

we may find judgement change

YET the exception

if held up

(even just to stand by our first decision)

can greatly impact another’s life

*

I try to keep my perspective flexible

and appreciate details

that may change due to shifts in context.

I try to stick to a perspective

when it benefits the most.

To me, this is the ultimate detail:

Is it beneficial?

I work to look for validity and reliability

before making decisions.

*

Significant details?

Surprising moments

From many perspectives

My own

And leading to that of others

My shock to perceptions

Leads to behaviour

that surprises

It’s never been devastating

It’s often been

Healing and productive

For me it’s about learning to adapt

To perspectives and perception

*

Through consideration, I’ve learned ways

of interpreting perception and perspective

that seem to be more beneficial

to the most possible,

also including myself.

Really?!  You ask.

How?

By angling my decisions in favour of this goal.

I remain open to this,

as opposed to greed or hate:

*

Yes, details trigger reactions

such as beliefs or behaviours.

We can guide reactions by preparing

for the most collectively beneficial outcome.

We will encourage this,

even if we don’t see each detail

to its greatest potential,

by being open & primed

to make enough difference.

When time slows down

We may shiver with cold

And freeze solid

as gears lock up

for eternity

A chain of events

Screeches to a halt

And we collect our thoughts

Yesterday lurches forward

Memories greasing

Our mental machinery

As pistons of today begin to fire

Over and over

Clockwork processing

**

Meaningless measures of wealth

glistened like icicles

They no longer exist

We won’t put faith in material possessions

that have no actual value in life

besides fulfilling a fleeting fancy

and then creating scenery

that keeps us company

as if to distract us while others suffer

**

I cherish my scenery

I love my wasteful hours

until I think of them as such

We all need rest and comfort,

Cool things

With balance we can make more effort

to be the difference,

especially if that’s how we make a living

We all should do that.

Today? Lazy Poetry/prose?

Tweets.  Peace

I hope that heaven will save us

With eternal glory

But if it is eternal

What’s this part of the story?

*

What about right now?

Aren’t we part of forever?

If heaven is infinite

I sometimes feel severed

**

I hope that Hell disappears

No more hard times or horror 

We won’t miss the hard times

Good moods don’t get boring

*

What makes good times good?

Is it how we compare?

And if Hell is somewhere else

Why does today seem unfair?

**

Oh my F’n god

You can’t be serious

With this stuff going on

Purgatory is clear to us

Neglect and abuse should not be a thing

End Hell on Earth

Heaven is something we bring

*

It makes me furious

Where’s the humanity?

They act oblivious

About our plan’s simplicity

Just be kind

How much more clear

can it be?

**

Look in love’s face

Create a safe space

And share the world’s grace

*

Work

To be nice, instead of clash

Sacrifice, instead of stash

Crawl

For the benefit of all

Allow ourselves to fall

In love with the world

*

Sprawl to make the save

Don’t sweep our duty under the rug

Heaven lands and Hell will fade

The balance is best

When we try enough

**

I hope that our world improves

From today to tomorrow 

What we’ve learned from the past

For the future we borrow

*

We will give it all back

We share our time, our treasure 

If heaven is for everyone 

We must work together 

***

One hundred faces in the day

All have the same expression

I try to say what I want to say

I vent about the tension

*

When I reach out

Without a doubt

To erase any aggression

Sometimes I share

Too much info

You think I’d learn my lesson

**

Small talk with big angles

Can lead to

Loose ends & tough tangles

Save it for love

Let’s find enough

*

Fast talk from all angles

Can be too intense

To undo

Space it out

Balance and manage

In time

Words we say

Can make it through

*

Let’s talk about it

Let’s think it out

Can I talk to you?

**

One thousand meetings in the week

Each can make an impression

I try to speak what I want to speak

And have no apprehension

*

If I reach out

To stop the doubt

And to erase any aggression

I’ll carefully choose

All the best words

So others

will join in our mission

**

Small talk with big angles

Can lead to

True friends as time dangles

It’s all for love

Let’s find enough

*

Calm talk from new angles

Can make good sense

And stay true

When spaced out

Balance and manage

In time, words we say

Will make it through

*

Let’s talk about it

Let’s think it out

Can I talk to you?

**

One million dreams come true each year

It’s a natural progression 

I try to say what you need to hear

I aim for comprehension 

*

When I reach out

Without a doubt

To erase any aggression

Sometimes I share

More than I need

I just thought that I should mention

***

Life is not an illusion

There must be some confusion

We don’t always see the same thing

It depends on our history

*

There’s a signature way

Our worlds sync

An original way we each think

Our eyes are all different

Often guided by the rest

**

We have an amazing connection

And we all have our own vision

It’s what we are expecting

And if we are protected

Our time and place that matter most

*

Life shapes

How we see perfection

It could be pure imagination

The source can be reflected

Maybe not what we expected 

It is time and space

that always matter most

**

In another sense, Causality

And connected synchronicity

Also matter most

All that happens is cause and effect

Yet transcendental

meaning is

Constantly superimposed

*

For every action

There’s an

equal and opposite reaction

Yet meaning brings it all close

*

What we envision between each other

Depends on the conscious intent

of our shared cosmos

**

Life is not an illusion

There must be some confusion

We don’t always see the same thing

It depends on our point of view

*

There’s a specific way

Our worlds link

An original way we each think

Our lives are very different

Perception guides what we do

*

We have an amazing perception

And we all have our own vision

It’s what we are expecting

And what we have selected

Our time and place that matter most

**

Life shapes

How we see perfection

It could be pure imagination

The source can be inspected

May be not what we expected

It is time and space

And causality

And synchronicity

that always matter most

It is our mind our soul

Our body

Our experience and life goals

*

It’s our actions and our perception

In time and space

That matter most

Everyone of us manages divinity

With the potential to become

The ultimate being inside us

*

Around us are the challenges of infinity

Way too often we just feel numb

Then our lack of feeling denies us

**

We deny joy that we can’t savour

We deny pain when it still wavers

When I think more about it

Denial doesn’t do us any favours

*

If we accept

we are divine

And embrace the current time

Our strengths will rise and shine

Then one day soon

we will find

Our immaculate design

Our drive

Our saviour

**

Everyone of us manages humanity

With the potential to become

A more helpful being to guide us

*

Around us are the challenges of insanity 

Way too often people act dumb

Like when a lack of feeling defines us

**

We define truth that we can’t savour

We define peace as it still wavers

When I think more about it

Definitions come in many flavours

*

If we accept

we are divine

And embrace the current time

Our strengths will rise and shine

And now

we will find

Our immaculate design

Our drive

Our saviour

**

Our drive

Our spirit

Our motivation

Towards wellness

There should be no hesitation

Our life

Now fearless

Our elevation

Can we share our differences

And our similarities without fixating?

Constant learning can keep us together

Calmly living life with a sense of divinity

Takes us further and

Stronger into forever

**

Everyone of us harnesses divinity

With the potential to become

The ultimate being inside us

*

Around us are the challenges of infinity

Way too often the divine won’t come

We need a world that’s feeling to guide us

**

We can guide joy

in a moment to savour

We can guide pain

till it no longer wavers

When I think more about it

A kind guide

can share a world of favour

*

If we accept

we are divine

And embrace the current time

Our strengths will rise and shine

And then

we will always find

Our immaculate design

Our drive

Our saviour

**

Time can discover you like a sudden cool breeze

but then

with the Sun become warm

As coldness leaves

Our thoughts

At once hot

As fire in trees

Are refreshed by rivers

Soothing flames

Smoke replaced by steam

Absorbing into the sky

And into the Earth

Like divinity

Now

For all it is worth

***

I see them fake effort

just to save face

As I try to make the world

a better place

They have their position

of power and privilege

I have some of the same

but hang closer to the edge

CEO

Management

A supervisor or big boss

By no means all of them

but many

are unfair with what they’ve got

*

Politicians and directors

Right down to you and me

Complete power corrupts

We need accountability

Unfair words and actions

hurt our entire integrity

That includes everyone

Top bosses

Right down to you and me

Global affairs and big business

To friends and family

We must consider

Small lives

in the big picture

It’s our responsibility

*

It comes right down

to you and me

And how we think

We ought to be

*

Carefully consider

How far

Our words and actions reach

Who do we touch?

Are we a positive influence?

What is too much?

Are we causing incidents?

What is not enough?

Let’s just use

more common sense

*

Don’t be a narcissistic freak

Yes: consider ourselves

And our people

But first consider the meek

And those that kindly compete

Whatever we do

Strive for good over evil

And always believe

That we can achieve

More wellness for all

We should

Work on how to conceive

A world that embraces

More love

And grows into more peace

***

I’d reach out to you

But I’m all tied up

The world is so demanding

Villains can’t get enough

Why can’t they cut me some slack

On this railroad track?

Seems to be a misunderstanding

And the train is coming back

*

The wheels are spinning round

Sparks fly with squealing sounds

I lie here with only words

Tightly chained, so neatly bound

While the source of my situation

Simply can’t be found

*

My sinister captor laughs

Shaking solid ground

Just as an unsuspecting hero

crosses the tracks to go to town

Arrives in a small window

Looking back 

And I’m found

**

I’d reach out to you

But I’m on another plane

No dimensions withstanding

No pain is a huge gain

We can’t ever look back

But who’s keeping track

Those hypocrites are underhanded

We’re still on the tarmac

*

When the wheels start spinning round

Engines sound like a growling hound

We reach the sky with words

There’s a sheer climb to resound

When we care, we rise higher

New altitude is found

*

Our internal pilot plans

So we are never falling down

An optimistic soul we show

Imagination tightly wound

Peace arrives

And love will flow

Flying higher

World-renowned

**

If I leave I will return

From the far side of a lake

Ringing bell brings me back

I am flat-out on the track

Thunder starts the race

Raindrops stay in their lanes

Driving to our headspace

Our visions stay intact

A choice we had to make

A chance we had to take

The echo calling our name

Into a better day

**

Are you reaching out to me

Now that I am on the road

I can’t answer right now

I have got a heavy load

Can you wait for a while?

Maybe just another mile

There’s a shoulder ahead

And I’ve got you on speed dial

*

Now my head is spinning round

Waiting for the ringing sound

I drive fearlessly with words

That I can’t say till we’re bound

Not till we connect together 

And heavy our hearts pound 

*

The winding road shares a story

And Our destination’s found

Perfect moments come and go

The road to home I’m heading down

Arriving like an echo

Everywhere the sound

***
