We are tight with our people
Any clashes have faded away
*
It is right with our whole world
At least as far as we reach today
*
Free time strolling
We can choose the things we do
*
Cruising, rolling
In the groove and on the move
*
We respect the scenery around us
Doing our thing
Every view can be the truth
Look into the big picture around us
**
We should fight for all people
Win the battles for peace here this way
*
We share light with the whole world
As far as we can see here today
*
Well-planned goals win
Make it through with things we do
*
Intention soulful
Feel the blues and bright sun too
*
It is coming down and all around us
Science holy
We improve, each day is new
Following the beliefs that will count us
*
We stand on guard
With all of our heart
Until a true peace of mind has found us

---

---

We look into the face of the future
To see the real deal
It will get much closer
Before it feels real
*
Looking into the eyes of tomorrow
We love the idea
Yet we still don’t know it
Until it appears
*
Still we can be almost certain
Because we have plans
Some things are guaranteed
Sometimes plans change
Understand
*
While the past always burns
The current remembers
And carries the embers
The path turns and turns and turns
Sparks fly
Our world sets on fire
*
We feel the beat, the heart of the future
Life is the real steal
We have to be sure
The current feels real
*
No smoke will obscure
When our fire is pure
*
Focus on each breath that we take today
Each moment appeals
Calm, fresh thoughts start to pay
Past troubles can heal
*
There are flames that warm us and light the way
There are flames that burn us and blacken days
We look into the soul of the future
The ultimate reveal
It will get much better
If we just keep it real

Infinite chaos
You can’t avoid it
We may get used to it
Sometimes a calm angle
creates peace
as if the chaos never existed…
*
but difficult events trigger a response
and then we admit to
random challenging situations that are sometimes extreme
*
It is good if we can just observe the chaos rather than get
wrapped in it, drained
and eaten up by it
*
We do fall for that stuff though
like we take a step
and make the most obvious move in time
and we are caught in that moment
unintentionally
yet with seeming precision
like it was meant to be done by clockwork
Those looking on
and ourselves
climb into a new frame of mind accordingly
An expansion of time
We have to feel alright
suspended in the current position
*
To get here
beyond coincidence and intricate designs
our life has happened how it has
and details line up in ways
that add meaning
sometimes where it is not warranted
but troubling
Otherwise
sometimes it makes sense
We transcend
find greater utility
and come out ahead
*
Perceived emergency situations
ripple in our lives
tied to the explosive
contractive
ridiculously elastic
looming shadow
that finds us
battle-bombarded
We are submersed
Then to our surprise
from below the surface
we rise up to find peace
and break through shining
*
The pleasurable points
appear as bright spots in the chaos
So then embrace our comprehension
of this state
understand trouble at a distance
recognize some views are bleak
empty and meaningless
while some perspectives
are much more divine
Find that our quest for joy is valid
faith is not exaggerated
and we can discover
sustainable nourishment for our souls
when we consider many angles
*
We can be unaware
We always miss lots
Somewhere else in our world
*
or we can be too aware
focused on something too much
like in the news
or too self-conscious
neglecting feelings
causing harm
I would say
Try to feel good
Follow life
and stay alert to all that will help
and shutdown input that just seems
to hurt
*
Then we can find
trust in life that promotes joy
as we stay on guard for a bad path that is
oblivious to well-being
where we are not connected
that could lead us to
Some awful chaos
if we do not stay careful
*
We create tough times
or perpetuate them
if we do not stay in the moment
but then again
if we take care
it can all work out
Some days much more than others
*
Trying to pay attention
to creating wellness
for ourselves and all connections
Sometimes our perception
can be blown out of proportion either by ourselves or others
It is too much
It is not enough
Is it literal material ?
especially when there is
misunderstanding
due to unexpected
correlations or connections in meaning
or lack of
such that it is
difficult to pick out the valuable truth
from the chaos and intricate complexity
*
The intricate complexity of our experience
in it’s raw beauty
follows us though all of our life
available to inspire
within thought at all times
when not obscured by the infinite chaos
and many time sensitive demands of life

Everyone has an angle
We can’t get tangled in our egos
Everywhere that we go
*
Everything that we know
We should share so we grow
*
Stand up for ourselves
No one should lose     in the chase for wealth
Stand up more    So no one faces Hell
*
Exaggerated confines
We can change the times
*
Everyone has an angle
Let’s bring them together with our goals
Everything with our souls
*
Any way that it rolls
When logic pays the tolls
*
Stay stronger for life
No one can stay     Down for all of time
Stay strong for  Each other       Always prime
*
Storms rage      as fierce lightening strikes
And everything  becomes more challenging
*
Some dreams are in flames
Sacred lives may crash down like thunder
Calling out

Their dire needs echo
Rain may wash over
*
We must hope for good timing
Steam, not smoke climbing
*
From the fallen day’s ashes
New growth raises hopes for the future
We have respect for the past      Or grind it into oblivion
*
Food for tomorrow     from our productivity today
Our life is nourished      by collective spirit
Developing ways to survive          Together
*
Cultivate bright ways to stay alive
Maximize all quality of life
*
Many more can have a chance to thrive
And create even more shared good vibes
In every single walk of life
*
Energy of an angle
Where we don’t edge out other people
Energy for steep hills
*
Energy not cheap thrills
Connections with deep will
*
Rise up for our home
No one is     ever truly alone
Rise up now
Best intentions are shown

---

Here I am
Doing what I do
Being me
How are you?
*
What’s your plan?
The days are new
All we see
Seems so true
*
Mountains stand
The sky is blue
Swaying trees
Sun shines through
*
When it starts getting dark
And there are many shadows
We balance our lives
And avoid any bad lows
*
Like pot holes in the road
Some times we can’t miss them
Other times a safe swerve
Or we don’t drive at all
Work in one place
On one thing at a time
Multitask later
To bring peace of mind
*
We make fair moves in the day
As we can plan and react
We don’t get too ahead of ourselves
Best to keep on track
*
Words that I say
May seem expansive
For the sake of life
There are no chances to waste
But never in haste
And I admit that
calm enhances
*
River bends
An ocean view
Lake is clean
Days are few
*
What’s our plan?
The days are new
All we need
Can come through
*
Here we stand
Doing what we do
What we feel
Can improve
*
Here I am
Doing what I do
Being me
How are you?

Nothing Seems to Come to Mind

I take a tone
Because I am thinking
I aim to make a point
*
I am not on the brink of arguments
I am just engaging in dialogue
To explore and
Radiate good energy
*
I hope that it is received that way
With healthy discovery
*
Partly with myself I speak
And with anyone that will
entertain these topics
Because I feel that we are often
on the same wavelength
You and I
*
And between me and myself
There is no cognitive dissonance
+
No contradiction in visions
We get results
+
We work to connect with
an understanding of our world
however that appears
*
To get us through the toughest
times that we will ever have here
*
Discussion helps us to
remember what we stand for
without any fear
*
The past changes everything but
The current is strong
clear, here and forever
The future is whatever is meant to be
And we will see better outcomes
When we make better decisions
It is all that we can do
To feel good
From way down low
While we get the chance to
appreciate more of our time
our surroundings
our society and ourselves
*
Work for it mentally
Perseverance, patience and passion
*
And when asked if we have any troubles
It seems quite clear that
in these moments
Nothing seems to come to mind

The poem may seem to clash with the picture in some ways, but actually, even in emergency situations (or especially in emergency situations) the ideas of this poem hold strong for me. Calm, balanced inertia to get through tough times!

---

Glorious golden rays of
precious light shine down
Bright and illuminating
All angles are found
*
Pushing further with our mind
Having confidence in what we do
Finding much more light to get us through
Even if we just
got past pure chaos
We will always
handle current times
With the balance of our body and mind
We sort things out to make it right
Feel good again in every light
*
Achieving goals in good time
Determination helps life improve
Creating chances to get us through
Especially then
our dreams all take off
It helps most to
treat our time as prime
With a balance of intricate design
We work things out and keep it tight
Find peace again in every light
*
Bold and brilliant rays of
Special sights light up
Bright and quite concentrated
These views are enough

Think about what we are saying
We all know
how to stay on track
But now
Not one soul
Truly tells
Exactly what happened
It is unclear
Just where we are at
*
We all can be off base sometimes
Reactions
Or words get off track
But now
We can not
Even tell
How the fall just happened
Now we are here
with where we are at
*
If we are concerned with meaning
We work to
keep up with the facts
Somehow
We sure can
always tell
What the hell might happen
What we have here
And where it is 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 the rest
At least we should
Not have to guess
There are wild designs
All of the time
That may be
All that we find
*
So now
If we can
Start to tell
How our whole life happens
We learn more here
About where we are at

We know where we are going

But we don’t know

how we will get there

So suddenly

We walk all alone

The path is shown

The sky whispers

and the cool wind moans

Aware of the ground beneath us

There is fate in every step

Watch it

*

From the quiet of our mind

As we walk down

the longest hallway

A new voice speaks

Resounds and echoes

The way it goes

The spirit talks and

No one else knows

We now have the room to speak up

We may only have one chance

Watch it

*

Watch the moments as they slither past

Raindrops writhing on the window’s glass

We look through

To see our day

Far above the skies are grey

When sun bursts through the heavy clouds

Our hearts wake up

We shake off doubt

The sound of truth trembles in the trees

Light in our day speaks eloquently

*

We reach our destination

But we don’t know

Just how we got here

Fortunately

We are always home

On this third stone

Our world can shine

Life sets a tone

Angles of life that will reach us

We can’t take it for granted

Watch it

*

Careful

and be alert

And nobody gets hurt

Need help, say the word

Now Watch it

---

I am contained
Held in check
Still achieving
Upper deck
*
While contained
I am not restrained
And I am not a wreck
It goes quite well
How I reflect
*
Reaching masses
Melting tech
Start believing
Now perfect
*
Daily pace
Is like a race
Need time to rest
To be our best
We must select
*
All the time
In our prime
All that matters
Is our body and mind
Every time
