I’d reach out to you

But I’m all tied up

This world is so demanding

The villains can’t get enough

Why can’t they cut me some slack

On this railroad track?

There 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

Casually chained and neatly bound

While the source of my situation

Simply can’t be found

*

My sinister captor laughs

Shaking the 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

**

Are you reaching out to me

While I am on the road

I can’t answer right now

I have got a heavy load

I hope you can wait for a while

Maybe just another mile

I think there’s a shoulder ahead

And I’ve got you on speed dial

*

The world keeps spinning round

Wait for the engaging ringing sound

I drive fearlessly with words

That I can’t say until we’re bound

Not until we connect together 

And heavy our hearts pound 

*

The winding road lies

Our destination can’t be found

But then a perfect moment realized

and the road to home I’m heading down

Arriving like an echo

Everywhere the sound

**

If I leave I will return

From the far side of a lake

A ringing bell brings me back

I’m flat-out on the track

A gun starts a race

We stay in our lanes

I’m back In my headspace

A lesson learned and intact

*

A chance I had to take

A choice I had to make

The echo calling my name

Opens a window in time that seemed opaque

Now as clear as day

**

I reach out to you

I’m on another plane

No clauses withstanding 

No pain is a huge gain

Why do they attack us

Without looking back?

They seem to be

so underhanded 

When the flight’s still on the tarmac

*

Then the wheels start spinning round

Engines howl low like a growling hound

We rise high with grounded words

There’s a sheer climb to resound

When we care it raises us up

New altitude is found

*

Our internal pilot plans

So we’re never falling down

Optimistic soul to soar

Harnessing imagination tightly wound

PEACE arriving hard core

Flying higher

World-renowned

I know the value of your causes

But I don’t know the value of my contribution

I aim to help more but I am tied up

I don’t want my work to

show up as token efforts

I live my life and have to survive

I can’t go out on a limb

if there’s no assurance

Show me love

And I’ll share with you

The future builds on one occurrence

**

Compare the value

of other causes

I still don’t know the value of

my contribution

I aim to help more but I am torn up

Their acceptance

has not shown up

Despite my efforts

I live my life and work to survive

I can’t reach out on a whim

Even if it is alluring

Show me love

And I’ll share with you

No matter what we are enduring

**

They may call the shots

So we don’t go over the top

Over and over again

If they fill with doubt

We may get cast out

And get down and out instead

*

If we climb back up

And care for the world

We may reach the top

Again and again

Our balance won’t stop

We won’t go over the top

If we help those down and out

And share what life’s about

Love can quickly

Turn the world into our best friend

*

We can go through lots

And get stuck at the bottom

Over and over again

If we fill with doubt

We should try to reach out

Find balance with a friend instead

**

I respect the value of your causes

But I can’t predict the value of my contribution

I aim to help more but I am held up

As I want my work to show up as potent efforts

I live my life and blindly survive

Our lights go out and get dim

Bright faith can shine and cure us

Show me love

And I’ll share with you

The current time is the purest

***

Do you question my honesty?

Is it all of me?

Well

It could be

I try to be mistake-free

Towards a better life

With more harmony

Then you add expectations of society

Of you and me

In our Environment

Individual needs

And our personality

Mistake-free?

How can it be?

From one angle to the next, We

Change understanding

**

Do you judge me by my poetry?

Is it all of me?

Well

It could be…

I try to be mistake-free

Towards a better life

With less suffering

Then you add the economy

And those around me

My environment

Guiding me

And my personality

Mistake-free?

How could it be?

From one angle to the next, We

Change history

**

The power of a word

The energy of an angle

We discover we are immersed

In all the work we handle

Some affects us less

And some makes no difference at all

But there’s a huge mess

And with great joy

Deliverance is untangled

*

Intentions and apprehension

Versus goals and follow-through

Is it just something I mentioned

Or my entire world view?

**

The power of a word

The energy of an angle

We discover how to be heard

In all the work

we’ve planned well

Some affects you less

And some makes no difference at all

But this is a huge test

And with great patience

My vision is untangled

*

Intentions and your attention

Bring goals and follow-through

This is something I mention

As part of my entire world view

***

The rhythm carries energy

In intervals to the people

Waves of rising speed and volume

Crescendo, fade and rise again

Today we find the beat and soon

Make our own and extend to friends

We harness others’ good vibes and 

Together with hearts complete

A rhythm that never ends

The best of spirits blend

Receive energy then send

*

I look up to you

But if you look down on me

I hope I can set you free

So we can both see our plans through

And do the good we do

And make it up to each other

If we should need more attention

Not to say I will be modest

But see the forest through the trees

I hope we can be honest

About rhythms and energies 

*

Wherever I stand

I am looking up to you

If you look down on me

I hope you can keep me free

So we both can see our dreams through

And do what we want to do

We get along with each other

You forever have my attention

And remain divinely modest

We see the beauty in everything

I know we can be honest

Keep good rhythm and synergy

***

Under the weight of the day

It can feel either way:

An iceberg above us

Offering no chance to scramble up

When the truth won’t love us

Without an unprecedented melt

On the other hand we rest well

under the ideal weight of a warm quilt

Perfect for keeping us

Safe and calm

Like sun shining through in the morning

**

By the light of the day

It happens just this way

The sun above us

Offering a chance to climb to the top 

When the new day loves us

With a bright and blinding glory

But from some angles we see clearly

In the surreal light of a true story

Perfect for keeping us

Curious and keen

Like events planned for this afternoon

**

Our world is on fire

But I’m frozen in ice

All time

burns fiercely in some ways

As we melt in plain sight

*

Flowing into rolling oceans

And forever-moving skies

These are the clear ways we exist

And climb to new heights

*

You mean more to me

Than the sun and the moon

The truth comes to light

As each hour moves

**

We make the most of the day

There’s no other way

The vast sky above us

Offering a chance to rise all the way up

Sometimes the world loves us

Like a gusty and engaging breeze

Asking us to fly and saying please

We learn from this love most

We won’t burn or freeze

Perfectly keeping us

Fresh and cool

Like moon shining through in the evening

**

Our world catches fire

But I’m frozen in ice

All time

burns fiercely in some ways

As we melt in plain sight

*

Flowing rivers of devotion

And forever-supporting skies

These are clear ways we can exist

And climb to new heights

*

You mean more to me

Than the sun and the moon

The truth comes to light

As each hour moves

***

While we are waiting here

still standing

The best thing to do

Could be planning

Think of now and the days ahead

Reboot the world and raise the dead

Branches still rise

that won’t bloom again

Caught among the living

Like influential memories

Happy apparitions to protect our new system

Thoughts that help us win

Our most crucial identity

**

Identity is essential

Like building our credentials

We stake our claim to who we are

We should not be judged from too afar

We are near in spirit to the present

Our goals for the future

Build our identity

The ghost of time

Exists forever

Essentially:

Our teachers

Our mentors

And who we are meant to be

**

We are

Now in time

I take everything you say

into consideration

By now half might have left

I’m doubling this

Can you respect me

the way I respect you?

*

We have a lot to catch up on

Above & beyond the day to day

I hope we can reflect more

Really get through

So life goes our way

**

While we are waiting here

still standing

The best thing to do

Could be planning

Think of now and the days ahead

Reboot the world and raise the dead

Mountains still rise

that will grow trees the same

High above the rest, living

Like the top peaks of time we need

Wild inspired visions to protect

Our new system

Thoughts that help us with

Our most crucial identity

Our signature appearance, experience,

intentions and basic follow-through

The light is brighter now

The day came much faster

Always on the horizon

Every hour surprising

Right now

And forever after

*

We follow love around the Earth

With it’s magnetic charm and contagious laughter

I don’t know if it will ever be the same

But that doesn’t really matter

**

The light is brighter now

The sky is my master

Always something to write on

Each inspiration surprising

Before

And forever after

*

We follow love around the sky

With it’s heavenly charm

and existence far past Earth

I don’t know if it will always be the same

It’s our head space that really matters

**

Yoy know you really

brighten up the room

Extinguish any

sense of impending doom

Like the sun

Turning the night into day

Or the moon

leading us thru darkness

Sharing a bright new pathway

Any time at all

We are here to stay

*

When we find

the light at every angle

Every angle turns out okay

**

The light is brighter now

The end is no disaster

Always an eye on Orion 

All starlight surprising

Once more

And forever after

*

We follow love around space and time

With it’s endearing charm

and intricate patterns

I don’t know if it’s exactly the same

But it’s right at the heart of the matter

And then forever after

**

You know you really

Erase all the gloom

Deliver us from any sense of impending doom

Like the sun

Turning the night into day

Or the moon

leading us through darkness

Sharing a bright new pathway

Through all time

We are here to stay

*

When we find

Light from any angle

Our angle in time

will never fade

***

In this ever-shifting landscape 

And in our own eyes

We are so quickly generating

our well-known lives

Triumphs and achievements

that will outlast the day

Choosing our freedom

We make a lasting pathway

For some we connect to wellness

and become friends

By others we are walked on

With no consequence

*

In an uplifting optimism 

And in our own minds

We are so surely envisioning our ideal lives

And positive advances that will save the day

Choosing our freedom

We create a lasting pathway

For some we connect to wellness

and stay forever friends

By others we are criticised

as if we don’t make sense

*

Not that friends always understand us

But friends will try to

When it helps us

in ways that support us

And we appreciate constructive criticism

*

Not opinions that alarm us

That intentionally harm us

But in ways that only friends

can relate with

their productive optimism

Or just in actions of anyone that truly cares

*

In this slowly drifting discussion

And of our own design

We are so clearly trying to live out

the most perfect lives

Striving for good feelings

that will elevate the day

Choosing our freedom

We clear a lasting pathway

For some we connect to wellness

and make more friends

By others we are clued in to views

that we should try to transcend

***

I don’t know what to say

Don’t know what to do

You said something to me

I said something to you

And it didn’t come out right

Here comes another chance

*

We do this dance

Forever romance

Here’s our chance to groove again

You have caught me

Let’s have coffee

We find a better mood

To always stay

**

I don’t know how to play

Don’t know what to do

You explained some things to me

And now I’m taking your cue

If we want to share delight

Here comes another chance

*

Since first glance

Forever romance

Here’s our chance to groove again

Life has taught me

Love’s never stopping

As we design a better mood

To always stay

**

A better mood to always stay

Is the mood we want in every way

Instead of feeling sad or down

Or upset and mean at what’s around 

We want to feel at least okay

Every single day

*

Mood is always flowing

If we aim for better

We will find the best

Productive and caring

Appreciating 

The rest

**

A better mood to always stay

Is the mood we take in every way

Find gratitude glad

Smile through a frown

Be less angry

at what you haven’t found

We want to feel better than okay

Every single day

*

Mood is always knowing

If we aim for better 

We learn from this quest

Tolerate tough times and

Embrace all the best

**

I don’t know any other way

But I do know what to do

You mean everything to me

So I try to shine for you

If it didn’t first come to light

Here comes another chance

*

Energies enhance

Forever romance

There’s a chance to groove always

You’ve really got me

It is not shocking

We find a better mood

To always stay

***

I have my feet firmly planted

Then I get taken for granted

So hard they try to uproot me

I’m telling them

That doesn’t suit me

People look down on me

Try to make it seem

like I do nothing

Cut me down to size

While I work full time

Speaking my mind

I think that’s something

Why don’t they open their eyes?

*

So many times that I have ranted

The view they have

Grows more slanted

Calmly they ignore and mute me

I’m telling them

That can’t refute me

People look down on us

Try to make it seem

like we do nothing

Cut us down to size

While we work all the time

And speak our mind

I think that’s something

It’s not that they are blind

*

My presentation

Generalization

Not targeting anyone

For a lifetime they say

We can’t all get ahead

Well can we

As we move around the sun?

If we had understanding

A push and pull

Then hold still

And start doing way more planning

Plan how to make progress

Create together more safe spaces

Connect for all of us give and take

To cover all the bases

*

If I seem to be enchanted

Then please use it to your advantage

They do not have to shoot me

For telling them

That can recruit me

People look down on you

Try to make it seem

like you do nothing

Cut you down to size

While you work overtime

And speak your mind

I think that’s something

Life’s more fair with a shared design
