The fall has almost come

Reminds me of a song

Let’s all just get along

“Summer’s Almost Gone”

*

The vision in my eyes

Opens like the spring disguised

The winter fills with ice

Let’s make the future nice

*

Speak kind words to the sky

Each year seasons flow

Loving clouds

Prepare well

Teach clear reason

On the go

**

Soon the rains will come

Torrents with gusts so strong

Let’s all just get along

An awkward instant’s almost gone

*

The sound reaching my ears

Is washing away my fears

Good music is good advice

Let’s make the future nice

*

Speak kind words to the rivers

Each day currents flow

Loving rhythm

Cleanse us well

A great common cure

On the go

**

Words

Hurtful to those hard done by

Pointless to those

Privileged and uncaring

Some people are caught in a storm

Some people are unaware

but I have high hopes

an opinion is forming

When I say

“Let’s all just get along” and

“Lets make the future nice”

I may be unrealistic to many

But don’t you wish we had that life?

**

Is it unrealistic to try a little harder?

Even aim for some kind of giant step?

Is it unrealistic to try to care a whole lot more?

And keep all stereotyping in check?

*

As the year goes by

Try to feel alright

And be thankful if we do

Dig in to understand

Even lend a hand

Words lead to actions

Intentions to follow through

**

The fall has almost come

Reminds me of a song

Let’s all just get along

Guess it’s time to “Ramble on”

*

The vision in my eyes

Arrives like the spring’s best tries

The winter fills with ice

Lets make the future nice

*

Speak kind words to the sky

Each year situations flow

Loving issues

Prepare well

Teach clear reason

On the go

***

I am weird

I am sure

Stepping on toes

Like no one knows

Presumptuous moment

Is not one that I chose

A little history

Is as far as it goes

But to people that don’t look close

It might seem that I pose

*

I can’t even pose for a camera

Never mind lie

The truth that I have for ya

Won’t ever die

**

I am wild for a while

Fighting off woes

Like no one knows

Controversial moment

Is not one that I chose

With surprising history

I’m caught in the throes

People not close

who just suppose

Might end up being

unfortunate foes

But not intentionally!

I’m a loving guy

The truth I keep mentioning

Won’t ever die

**

Truth won’t die

Although it may change form

From different angles

It may be a storm

*

Wake up

To see truth and be reborn

When evening comes

Pray for a sky that’s orange

*

Rest all those

Living

Suffering

Awake all those

Forever drifting

Find truth within

Never let it be torn

Reconcile all

With those forlorn

**

How can we meet

Your challenges together?

We can’t even say

what we want to say

When we talk to each other

How can you overcome

Pain

Tears, fears and jeers

Without developing

Irritation

Agitation

Anger or disconnect?

How do we find progress when

communication won’t get through

to those who can help

and even our understanding

can turn out to be untrue?

**

Menacing lies

Lead to complete chaos

Destruction of

Our free space and

a constant struggle that is real

Look ahead to tomorrow

Find a righteous feeling

Battle for the better world

That chaos can conceal

Hold on tight

Life depends on time

Breathe and calmly flow

Be kind to our mind

Clear thoughts lead to fair actions

When reconciliation grows

**

I am ignored for sure

Sinking to my new lows

Like no one knows

The most elusive moment

Is the one that I chose

Connects to history

Like a raven to swarming crows

All the people’s codes

Are just thorns to our rose

*

The blooms that grow slow get

Hidden to the naked eye

The truth that we don’t know yet

Won’t ever die

***

Breathing calmly now

I hold on to my goals

Quickly

I throw away any hate and fear

And safely walk across hot coals

Let’s become the rock that rolls

Acknowledge the world that’s full of souls

**

Rise into awareness

Fall into peace

Be open to fairness

We have the keys

Kindness prepares best

To hold back the beast

In others or ourselves

Like steam

Now release

**

Breathing calmly now

I hold out for good feelings

I aim for strength

And really, for a sense of cheer

For all of our daily dealings

Our love should hit the ceiling

Acknowledge the world

We all need healing

**

Rise into awareness

Fall into peace

Be open to rareness

And life’s mysteries

Kindness prepares best

To help out at least

For others & ourselves

Like heat

Now release

**

Hot to the touch

Our engines keep on running

Cool down enough

We find a shared life that is stunning

*

Hold on to who we are

Breathe in

I see a shooting star

*

Explode into the atmosphere

Speeding faster

than a hot rod car

*

Drive safe so

We can get far

*

Be kind

We all share the road 

And carry a heavy load

Be the best of who we are

So our energy won’t corrode

**

Breathing calmly now

I hold on to my goals

Firmly shut down any hate and fear

and patch up old potholes

Let’s become the clock that tolls

Acknowledge the world that’s full of souls

**

Rise into awareness

Fall into peace

Be open to repair messes

In our realities

Kindness prepares best

So our gears don’t seize

In others or ourselves

Like years

Now release

***

Hello to the onlookers

Who mistook me for dead

And to you like an angel

Hovering over my head

*

I’m starting a new season by reaching towards the sky

Clouds and rain will follow

Leaving summer

As Autumn begins to cry

It’s not like we will

Never see those

Sacred days and months again

Future years and memories

Have so much to explain

**

Energy radiates

Every season

Every day changes

And we leap into action

Some days: A hiding place

Some wild within reason

Life can have stages

Of deep satisfaction

Colours remain

Like thoughts we believe in

Yellow, orange and red ranges

In Autumn’s attraction

Blue and green may stay late

In trees and skies for all ages

Black of night pierced by light

Colours can take away dangers

**

Hello to the passerby

Please don’t pass on my mission

And to you like a saviour

That will always listen

*

I’m right into this season

I’m reaching up to the sky

Stars and storms will follow

Leaving summer

As Autumn leaves will fly

It’s not like we will

Never see those

Sacred shades and suns again

Future years and memories

Forever will remain

**

Energy radiates

Every season

Every day changes

And we rise into action

Some days: A saving grace

Some mild and quite pleasing

Life can have stages

Of cool interaction

Colours remain

Like thoughts we believe in

Yellow, orange and red ranges

In the sun’s reactions

Blue and green may stay late

In fields and skies for all ages

Even black of night dreams with light

Colours

Should not make us strangers

***

Listen closely

To yourself

Do you want change

Or something else?

It can’t stay the same

How can we all

share the wealth?

We all want to be comfy-cozy

*

Fine if you worked all day

or if you are on a break

Some things we earn

Make no mistake

But all those other things

We don’t have to take?

**

No more gloating

About what sells

We need change

To something else

It can’t stay the same

How can we share more health?

Many won’t make it

Just by coasting

*

Fine if we are getting paid

Or if we have it made

Some things we earn

Make no mistake

But all those extra things

We just can’t forsake?

**

I’m always posing

Whether I want to or not

I put ‘styling’ clothes on

They’re all store-bought

I want to think I’m cool

With what I’ve got

But mostly because

I care a lot

I may be boasting

Take your best shot

**

Listen closely

To what time tells

Make a change for the better

As if there is nothing else

Some things

May stay the same

But best to share the wealth

If just for health

Best to open up and share

From our top shelf

I say stuff

In conversation sometimes

It might not mean that much

No matter what I say to you

I don’t mean to seem out of touch

Intentions may come through

Thankfully in the clutch

I hope we can always get along

But it might not be as such

Ungrounded opinion in the world is a major crutch

With which we should never judge

*

I’m not saying my opinion is a gem

Anchored in the ground

I sometimes shoot out there

like an arrow

that never will be found

But with best of intentions

for kindness to resound

*

If we could always do the same

And take much better aim

Healthy discussion will come round

Together our hearts will pound

And wellness will abound

*

I wish we could always get along

for all of time

Make it through

All the details

None of us

Going off the rails

If we could be true about who is who

With best intentions

Forget some actions

Lost in the moment

I am me and you are you

Let’s find a plan in what we do

Love never fails

When we keep it new

*

But thats just my opinion

A personal point of view

Yet when I think about it

I know that it is true

I’m no sentimental fool

I don’t just speak from my heart

At times

I just don’t care what’s cool

My brain still stays smart

We can be tough enough to refresh

Discover new love

Embrace it as a rule

I might say stuff 

Science and an art

Language is a tool

***

With care we can be freed

From excruciating need

It would help if we can

Get through to those

Living oblivious with greed

*

When one of us suffers

All of us will bleed

From the heart

We can impede

The loss of all of us

Kind logic helps us heed

Helps our caring nature lead

Until our best group effort is complete

**

I try every day

To respect everyone in every way

Sometimes opinions clash

Sometimes we are not okay

Sometimes I seem like a jerk

I am underpaid

Clear as can be

Unions may strike

Nothing comes for free

Except our blood, sweat and tears

With no pay hike

Working hard

Being kind

May be rewarded in time

We hope in this life

**

With care we can be freed

From excruciating need

It would help if we can

Get through to those living oblivious with greed

*

When one of us suffers

All of us will bleed

From the heart

We can only plead

With the voice of all of us

Kind logic helps folks heed

Helps a more caring nature lead

Until our group effort picks up speed

**

I try every day

To respect everyone in every way

Sometimes opinions clash

Sometimes we are not okay

Sometimes I’m treated like a joke

My intentions underplayed

Not clear as can be

Visions we may like

No one else can see

All of our blood, sweat and tears

As our feelings spike

Working hard

Being kind

May be rewarded in time

We hope in this life

**

With care we can be freed

From excruciating need

It would help if we can

Get through to those living oblivious with greed

*

When one of us suffers

All of us will bleed

From the heart

Caring with our creed

With the goals of all of us

Kind logic helps more heed

Helps this caring nature lead

Until our group effort can succeed

***

I think of you

It’s all I can do

And when I wake up

The day is new

It moves so smoothly

And we do what we do

*

You are beside me

But when you’re not

I have a sense you’re there

I need you a lot

*

The sun in the sky

The Earth below

I love the people around me

And all the life that I know

**

I work to make this happen

Love isn’t always easy

We reason with love

And then it is pleasing

*

Night soothes with love

As it gets so heated

Day fights for love

So we are never freezing

*

When it is alright

We hold on tight

Or roll with the flow

with the keys to the light

Opening up with our kind insight

**

I think of all of you

It’s all I can do

And when we work smart

We make it through

Life moves

Now soothing

And we do what we do

*

We stay tight together

But when we just can’t

I have a sense you are there

The distance is spanned

*

The sun in the sky

The Earth below

I love the people around me

And all the life that I know

**

Stay real to my self

Share my whole soul

All the way

Work hard, play hard

Increase our peace 

Each night and day

*

The moon in the sky

The Earth below

I love the people around me

And all the life that I know

**

I work to make this happen

Love isn’t always easy

We reason with love

And then it gets more pleasing

*

Night can soothe with love

Even blacked out completely 

Day lights up love

Bright in any season

*

When it is alright

We hold on tight

Or roll with the flow

with the keys to the light

Opening our world with kind insight

*

The sun in the sky

The Earth below

I love the people around me

And all the life that I know

I work hard to love

All the life that I know

***

Here I am

Bold as dawn

Rise and shine

On the horizon

*

The day ahead

Is blazing red

My eyes are fine

Wild visions surprise us

*

Which way do we turn

So we won’t burn

Our bridges

With our intense eyes that defy us?

*

Intentions set and wishes true

As I work to love you

If you only knew

**

Here I am

Holding on

Despised but kind

With my disguise on

*

The day instead

Mistake has shed

My allies were blind

Dying suspicion defines us

*

Which way do we turn

So we can learn

Our privileges

While our bent allies still decry us?

*

Intentions set and wishes true

As I work to love you

If you only knew

*

If you only knew

How much I care for you

Hidden behind behaviour through 

The blackest night and sky that’s blue

My work to love

You may decide untrue

Chances I get to prove to you

Are far and few between

*

If you only knew

**

Here I am

Cold & gone

Defined behind

With what they have their eyes on

*

The day has sped

Straight through their head

My tries denied

Spiteful derision grinds us

*

Which way do we turn

When we just yearn

For a fair image

While they penalise and defile us?

*

Intentions set

And wishes true

As I work to love you

If you only knew

*

If you only knew

How I’ve been true to you
