Oh my soul shaker
Everything is taking it’s time
Move fast
Every day
Don’t want to fall too far behind
*
Oh my goal maker
Everything is at stake this time
Move fast
All the way
We all have to cross the line
*
We can find what we want
If we get what we need
So we don’t break
We must watch our speed
*
Too fast
Slows today
Smooth as glass
When we move this way
*
Oh my role taker
Every day we can make good time
Move fast
Balance stays
Creating what is on our mind
*
We can tell what we want
we may get what we need
Won’t make mistakes
When we get up to speed
*
Move fast
Slow some ways
Views that last
When we choose today

We have reached
A new stage of development
The ideas flow
like rivers
And our plans are engaged in the raging
rapids that always slither
Serpents of progress
Lead to oceans that shimmer
The sun heats all of our days
Past each summer and winter
*
On the beach
A new phase of development
The ideas glow
like embers
And our plans are blazing in the raging
bonfires we remember
Flames of a phoenix
Lead to bright skies with splendour
Our spark burns through every day
All year and past December
*
We should teach
A new grace in development
The ideas show
Steam blends views
Fluid plans are all brave in the raging
Kettles that we now tend to
Boiled dreams like water
Lead to goals to ascend to
Sharing vision in our days
With no time to pretend through
Any day
Just clear the way
For simple goals
So everybody feels okay or better

What a life
Here it is
It gets better
Or it is the best
*
As we get closer
I want the most time
To go better
With all the rest
*
If we are engulfed in content
And joy
It seems that we are blessed
It should be no surprise
We can not hide
There is another test
We never
get totally used to it
*
Up and down
For better or worse
We have choices
First things first
*
Consider the big picure
And then hone our specific focus
Time put us back together
If it ever broke us
*
The pieces that were once scattered
Are now scattered again
When we get it back together
We should not see the end
*
This is life
Here it is
It gets better
Or it is the best
*
As we get closer
I want the most time
To feel better
With all the rest

Step up
Climb the ladder
Ramp it up
And work it out
*
Upstairs
Really matters
Champion
To get past doubt
*
Up to you
Illusions shatter
Amp it up
The truth is loud
*
Keep it up
The healing chatter
Stamp out fear
We may have to shout
*
Sometimes we do
Need to shout
Otherwise they won’t hear
What would help us out
*
Sometimes
we just need to calmly
reflect our viewpoint
*
When we have no other choices
We can calmly reflect
On our point of view
*
Sometimes together
*
Clear this up
Be emphatic
To shape up
All we know about
*
Here’s what’s up
It has to add up
To work it out
All that we know about

First impression
What you see
Is accurate or incomplete
*
We are judged by
the clothes that we wear
Our face and our hair
How we appear
How our body is moving
The context from out there
Affects how they care
Remain aware
*
Your expression
What they see
Immaculate when you believe
*
We are rushed by
the world
Peace is rare
Our days and our years
Courage and fear
Optimism improving
The context from right here
Affects how we care
Remain aware
*
My obsession
What I hear
Spectacular what I perceive
*
I am touched by the power they share
Our life in their care
Far off or near
Find more comfort that’s soothing
The context everywhere
Affects how I care
Remain aware

Imperfections mean nothing
In our loving
By maintaining our care
At least subconsciously aware
Our life can stay fair

Writing is a choice.

Some people play video games or binge watch TV.

I choose words (and music). I try to choose what they mean. Sometimes they don’t add up. Sometimes they do. Sometimes they take on an all new meaning…

This is about choosing our path.

Was that just the beginning?
My head is already
Spinning
Sometimes I am winning
Sometimes I am just playing the game
*
If I had to choose
I would never lose
But sometimes I do
And between me and you
There’s no reason for blaming or shame
*
We are who we are
Our choices go far
Each moment is new
Sometimes we must choose
Sometimes the moment decides for us
*

Make our choices
Take our chances
Sometimes what we do
Unravels
Not how we planned it
Stay aware of the choices
Rewards arrive
when life advances

*
We have past ways of sinning
Future options are thinning
In times we are all grinning
It is fine to be staying the same
*
If we have to prove
Our every move
Sometimes it is true
It is up to me and you
How we are aiming our name
*
We are who we are
Our choices go far
Each moment is new
Sometimes we must choose
Sometimes the moment decides for us

Egg plant, marigolds and peppers on the table. Looks like I will be trying egg plant…. Love the colour…

This is about the difference in moods between unproductive anxiety and when we learn to get through that with different perspectives and a calm attitude to reach goals and reach daily achievements.

Flames are in anxiety
We can not let them burn
Prevent thought’s toxicity
Quench fire when we learn
How to cope
With our scope
Break the focus of the magnifying glass
Look at the bigger picture
To solve problems fast
 *
Better angles raining down
A relaxed mood
A breath of cool air
Feeling good when we go anywhere
We just have to know
How to go with the flow
Sometimes it’s best
to let it roll
*
Sometimes we need precision
Even amazing coincidence
We need natural connections
in a welcome surging flood
*
Flames are in hostility
We can not let them burn
Prevent thought’s toxicity
Quench fire with our words
And their scope
Let’s just cope
This should not be
such a death-defying act
Look at the bigger picture
To solve problems fast
*
Better angles raining down
A relaxed mood
A breath of cool air
Feeling good when we go anywhere
We just have to know
How to go with the flow
Sometimes it’s best
to let it roll
*
Sometimes we need patience
To use our intelligence
We need natural connections
in a welcome surging calm
*
Overflowing subconscious expression
can go unnoticed or can pinpoint nerves
Like the rain absorbed in the dirt
Flooding but
Reaching our goal
the seeds and then the roots of the plants
*
Assumptions about many things
miss their target
Baffle our masses
And becomes useless
Leading to waste
*
Sometimes the repeated barrage of information is met by
effective knowledge translation
Reaching actualization
We realize the benefits
Of the day
*
We attain
realistic perspectives
of achievement
Of progress
And maintenance of
operations that are functioning
for our personal and shared wellness

Things that we say may not mean much from one angle, but can mean everything from another.

When we express the weight of our world, it can become easier for others to understand, and we can also share strategies for coping. They can become apparent.

For those that don’t face similar situations, they can still find empathy from imagining the scenario, or they can ignore it altogether, or even develop resentment.

There are many angles and many personalities that we can encounter, and there is always a better way to make it through. It is either through fine tuning or complete overhaul.

As we trudge along
With all of the day
With all of the weight
And the things that we say
*
Hello me
I must say
I am feeling more than okay
Much more than okay
I would really like to keep it that way
*
Hello you
I can say
To me
You are much more than great 
Even more than great
I sure hope that you also feel that way
*
As we get along
With all of the day
We share views with what we say
With all of the weight
*
Hello everyone
What can I say?
Do not overpay for your day
We all hope and pray
That we will realize a better way

I am under the weight of all time
But now
All time carries me along
like a twig in a stream
Or a cloud in the sky
Until I disappear into the blue
*
I am pinned by the times
Like a calendar to the wall
Like a billboard flashing
Or a private big screen
Box-office smashing
Through the years passing
Like the view
Through the window
of a soaring jet plane
To or from a holiday
Many memories stay
But the current moment on display
Is all I ever feel
in every other way
*
We should not have to wait for all time
But for all time
this watched pot won’t boil
and we need some steam
Give a shout to the sky
Hear our voices echo into vast clouds
*
We are plugged into time
Like a stereo to the wall
The picture is flashing
On our private big screens
Watched before crashing
Through weeknights passing
Like the view
Of our keen eyes
Attached to our warm brain
To or from the universe
Our experience stays
But the current moment on display
Is all we ever feel
in every other way
*
We are under the weight of all time
But now
All time carries us along
like thinking or a dream
Reach our goals to the sky
See our visions appear out of the blue

Think about what we are saying
Let’s get it back on track
But now
We can not even tell
When we are doing well
How it’s going
And where we are at
*
Sometimes with preoccupation
Reactions get off track
Like now
We can not even tell
That was the opening bell
Now it is here
This is where we are at
*
We have to find what really matters
All of the time
*
Sometimes what matters most
is not on our mind
*
We do our best
For all of the rest
At least they should
Not have to guess
About our ideas
All of the time
Especially when
Feeling fine
Means being kind
To ourselves
*
It seems there are implications
Our care impacts the facts
Like now
They can not even tell
So we may have to yell
It is best here
When we can react
*
An exciting action
So we can relax
