Real time truth

Is so confused

Unless we start to be objective

*

Ways to soothe

Are what I choose

But views of health

can be selective

*

Some other people’s

health may be ill

and there is nothing I can do

So I do things

in my own best interest

Until there’s a fair chance

to reach out to you

**

Real time truth

Is under-used

Until we start to be objective

*

Ways to soothe

That we should choose

Can be for health

But too subjective 

*

Another person’s

health may worsen

Yet there is nothing that I do

Until I do everything

in my power

And take the best chance

to reach out to you

**

Real time truth

The actual news

Not filtered through

the biased lenses

*

If ways to soothe

are what we choose

We should not be so

apprehensive

*

Many more people’s

health could be well

and there is something we can do

If we do things

in everyone’s interest

and take

every chance

To reach out for you

***

The uncertainties 

That will never be known

The connections

that never happen

that are best left alone

*

The safe bets well-played

That hit the ground running

Connections

that make it all happen

So the outcome is stunning

*

A connection exists

We do our best

For what makes sense

**

It can corrode

And short out

Ot we can help it stay clean

Like a strong flowing river

Or a glacier-fed stream

*

It can implode

Or explode

We can improve the scene

like a top-of-the-line

smooth-running machine

**

The uncertainties

That come to be known

The connections

that tend to happen

when truth starts to be shown

*

The fair bet you made

Now sweeter than honey

Good connections

make it all happen

and keep a strong world running

*

A connection exists

We do our best

For what makes sense

***

I am digging in my heels

And clenching my teeth 

*

I start a new argument

Solid ground is beneath

*

It is out of this world

At first you might not believe

*

But with my feet firmly planted

I have a story to weave

**

The patterns in nature

and even on the wall

May seem intense and intricate

Or bland and dull

it is totally your call

*

Sometimes reality

catches my eye

Or sometimes it can be something I hear

It connects my soul to my life

Different worlds to my time

Life’s meaning starts

becoming more clear

**

The minutes of my day

Sun and rain that will fall

May seem intense and intricate

Some fall in love

and some can’t stand it at all

*

Sometimes reality

Makes sense to my mind

Or sometimes it can be something I fear

It connects my soul to my life

Different worlds to my time

Life’s meaning starts

becoming more clear

**

If I dig in my heels

And grit my teeth 

*

I see the new argument

With nothing beneath

*

It is out of this world

But I have to believe

*

With my perspective so slanted

It’s about what I perceive

***

Every angle

Has a tangle

Crushing down on me

*

Facing my fears

Changing my gears

Touches the sky for me

*

Intense perception

Has protection

Rushing all around me 

*

It has to be

What it means to me 

*

Perspective is reality

**

A mood can lead us to

misunderstood actions

And we can lose traction

In how we relate

Or how we debate

With our narrow motivation 

*

Irrevocable words

That should not be heard

are waiting at the station

*

They might seem sure

But may not be pure

Despite wicked concentration 

*

If we feel insecure

And the timing seems poor

We find

True grace in hesitation

*

But for any length of time

If we have a balanced mind

*

It’s usually best to speak up

And address the situation

**

Every angle

Has words that dangle

Gushing if set free

*

Haste can bring tears

Strength always steers

Pushing the ground past me

*

A clear reflection 

Will pass inspection 

Or just steep in mystery

*

It has to be

What it means to me

*

Perspective is reality

***

They can’t see

The plan that could make it all better

The plan for redemption

There is no chance to mention

And that causes tension

It feels so thick in the air

That you could cut it with a knife

It may come down to one life

Actually it comes down to many

*

To many

To all

The responsibility falls

But who will lead the charge?

*

Will there be constant impasses

Between all the classes?

Will we be able to live life large?

**

They can’t see

The plan that could make it all better

The plan for equity

For the country and the city

All empathy

No pity

It feels so fresh in the air

That we could all enjoy this time

It comes right down to one life

Actually it comes down to many

*

What is the push?

What is the drive?

We should work

together to be alive

To enjoy our time

Work for the prime

All that’s real

And on our mind

The prime Future where

efforts for

wellness can align

Gradually improve

Until we are all

Much more than fine

*

For many

For all

The responsibility falls

We all must join the charge

**

When can they see

The plan that could make it all better?

The plan for progress

For the life we protect

More effort

For respect

It feels so real in the air

So we can freely see the sky

We each have only one life

We depend on

And Affect so many

***

Notice certain branches

swaying

not all of them

but here and there

branches are moving

*

The wind breathes like life

And life flows with the wind

Sometimes hiding in the trees

And then starting up again

**

The sky breathes lightly

**

Observe many green leaves

Trembling

Likely all of them

Everywhere

The leaves are quivering

*

Leaves latching up and down

Forming shapes with the wind

Lines of life connect in the trees

In the summer breeze again

**

All around me

An awareness of a presence

A world

A life

A day to embrace

And achieve a goal

To make a difference 

*

The wind rushes against our faces

Taking us to different places

Charging for the sky

Pushing us to try

To find a way to fly

Connect with all of life

Do our best to make it

The winds of time will never die

**

Notice all the branches

swaying

Now none of them

But just a leaf dances

until they’re all moving again

*

The wind breathes like life

And life flows with the wind

Often winding through trees

And then rising up again

***

A low

And reactive individual

Steps up to face the day

Turns out to be a

Keen perceiver

Dream believer

Finds a better way

*

Looking down

When all we see is below

They may

have no where else to go

And sometimes

that is the only thing

that they will ever know

**

Looking up

We discover the new hype

We may think

that we have it right

and sometimes

that is all we know

But there is

somewhere else to go

*

Find it when we

Shake the system

Enjoy what’s

next to the tough times

Harder than the good times

Look at it

as the best we have got

and work to make it better

*

We are who we are

We have our own levels of

Productivity

Reactivity

We can work to make it better

Find ways to enjoy

the pieces of the process

that make it happen

With our senses

and our feelings

Aware of

Beauty and inspiration 

Humour and strength

And calm consideration for others

**

A low

And productive individual

Must face a harder day

It turns out that low class

High achievers

Dream believers

Work only to get paid

*

Looking up

Above high and far below

There can be

no where else to go

While in time

there is so much more to know

***

There’s never a dull moment

There are daily surprises

Shocks to the system

Like when

something breaks down

Extreme weather hits town

There is a commotion

and now we have to listen

**

We have to look out

Be aware

Be fair

Life is great

When we maintain it

Expect constant change

mistakes causing collisions

and dramatic conclusions

Stay calm

Stay as strong as we can

Life prepares us

Take care

Celebrate

As we sustain it

Pay attention to

how best to explain it

We can never chain it

**

Peace of mind is uncommon

Still with happy sunrises

Months full of vision

Fight till 

Light comes around

Escape trouble inbound

Find total devotion

To one unified mission

**

We have to connect

Be aware

Be fair

Life is ace

If we can frame it

Adapt fast to change

mistakes teaching key lessons

avoid micro-aggressions

Learn calm

Grow as strong as we can

Life prepares us

Take care

Concentrate

As we sustain it

Pay attention to

How reason contains it

Nothing can restrain it

**

Not even dying moments

There are still new sunrises

Brand new thoughts glisten

Like new 

Senses are found

Hold close to new sights and sounds

Breathe through all emotions

Carefully look and listen

***

Hello to the person

that is out of reach

*

The person that can’t hear me

The person beside me

The person above

All of us agree

Love is more than a fashion

It lasts longer with compassion 

Why can’t we connect?

*

Is it because of the rules?

Written and imagined

Or because I am just on

another intense tangent

Is it because the situation

Is a bad subject

That we can’t protect

So you object?

**

They can’t hear what I’m saying 

So I can’t see it through

The rest of us are paying

Because they won’t make a move

**

Hello to the person

that works for peace

*

A person that shouldn’t fear me

The person next in line

The person beneath

All of us try to

Breathe more good sense and ration

We show true grit and compassion 

Why can’t we connect?

*

Is it because we break rules

Written and in action

Just because in some ways

we share lots of truth and passion

Is it because the demonstration 

Pays greater respect

To what we can’t protect

So you object?

**

If you can confirm

what I am saying 

Then we can make it through

When our patience is staying

Then we can make a move

***

Allure of the day

and places far away

Follow a path over hills

and vast mountains

*

Find our gratitude

For things old and new

The moon dives way down low

The sun is always rounding

**

Over and over

The Earth rolls

Days and nights

Come and go

*

We try to understand

what we believe

This helps us to believe better

*

We feel all that we know

Whether it’s all for show

Or if it is the fabric

that keeps us together

**

The cure for the day

We are saved by sun rays

Swallow water for our pills

Without drowning 

*

Find good attitude

For things that we do

The sun arrives and glows

The moon is always rebounding

**

Over and over

The Earth rolls

Days and nights

Come and go

*

Seasons breathing

Hot and cold

Days and years

Come and go

*

We try to understand

what we believe

It helps us to believe more

*

We learn all that we know

Whether it all goes by slow

Or if we wash up faster

And arrive on the shore

**

The purest of days

We all crave a new phase

Shallow breaths for the next thrill

Excitement mounting

*

When we are in the mood

For things that are true

The moon is nice as it goes

The sun is always resounding

**

Over and over

The Earth rolls

Days and nights

Come and go

*

We try to understand

what we believe

It helps us to believe forever
