I start my day

Get under way

Searching for good times and payoffs

Sometimes I stray

Or get caught in the fray

And it turns into absolute chaos

*

I reach for calm

To go on and on

Sometimes

it feels just like freedom

Peace is the bomb

That should never be gone

People need

this one thing to lead them

**

Can we wake up to reality

And understand

how to work better together?

Peace will deliver

If we all buy in right now

And then forever

**

I carry on my day

It’s well underway

Experiencing

good times and payoffs

Sometimes I play

But still work hard for my pay

Ultimately

there is always chaos

*

I reach for calm

To go on and on

Sometimes

it feels just like freedom

Peace can last long

It should never be gone

People need

this one thing to lead them

**

Can we wake up to reality

And understand

how to work better together?

Peace will recover

If we all buy in right now

And then forever

*

Or if just more of us

Get on the bus

The bandwagon

Where we

all support each other

We can do it somehow

Like, “I love U” then “Pow!”

We are connected

For the better forever

**

I finish my day

It has gone okay

Finding some

good times and payoffs

Sometimes I say

All that I wanted to say

Eventually

we get past the chaos

*

I reach for calm

To go on and on

Sometimes

it feels just like freedom

Peace can’t be wrong

It should never be gone

People need

this one thing to lead them

**

Can we wake up to reality

And understand

how to work better together?

Peace will develop

If we all buy in right now

And then forever

I want to talk to you

With my rhyme and reason

What I say is true

With all that I do

At this time and season

And all around the year

U should have no fear

I commit no crime or treason

I try to be pleasing

In all that I do

Especially for you

With the light that is needed 

To shine completely

**

Light the way

You’ve done it all along

We try to say it

Or sing it in a song

There is no way

That we can be wrong

It makes our day

When our love is strong

Caring helps us belong

**

I want to shock you too

With my rhyme and reason

What I say is true

With all that I do

For all time and each season

And all around the year

We should have no fear

Work to prevent

All crime and treason

Basically freeze it

With all that we do

For everyone and you

So the light is heeded 

And shines completely

**

Light the way

You’ve done it all along

We try to say it

Or sing it in a song

There is no way

That we can be wrong

It makes our day

When our love is strong

Sharing helps us belong

***

Looking up at my dreams and die-hard goals

Some say that my plan has too many holes

I stay steady

my plan is chock full of soul

It all unfolds

So bold

It has to take hold

**

Look at my visions

and lifelong trial

My main plan is 

for more people to smile

Keep it steady

We can do it with style

It takes a while

Agile

They agree

No denial

**

Look around

What we have

Helps us feel

What is real

And what we should come to expect

*

Look around

To get past

Start to feel

What is real

And what we should always expect 

**

Looking up at the stars and sky-high goals

Some say that my plans have too many holes

I stay steady, my plan is all about soul

It is rock and roll

So bold

Listen to

Diamond, Platinum and gold

**

Listen now

What we have

Helps us feel

What is real

And what we should come to expect

*

Listen now

To get past

Start to feel

What is real

And what we should always expect

This poem was written before “Think About the Day.”  Certain language used developed upon further reflection and infinitely.  No intention to annoy….

It is light in the room
The fixture is bright
the blinds are half-closed
We dim it down soon
Until only our eyes glow 
*
In the haze I make out your face
And the evening is lasting 
We let the highs show
*
It is dark in the room
With glimmers of light
At the edge of the windows
Not much of a moon 
As the overcast lies low
*
In the haze I make out your face
The morning is waking up
As your eyes open knowingly

With a target I see your smile bow

Kind aim like the sky

through the blind’s rows
*
Awake to the daily alarm

A music that charms us into the day
A few calm moments made their rounds
Energy found

at the river and over mountains

by leaps and bounds

When goals amount

To pathways pounding

We hit the ground running

proving to be real live pros

Taking us to achieve and thrive more

And strive for the most

All the while hoping that we are creating an essentially infinite day and night show

That we might know

As we help the time go

So that our lives flow

***

I keep thinking about the day

Looking into situations 

*

I have been pulled right through the door

I hope we get what we look for

*

Unaware of what’s in store

We have to ask for more

That’s the situation

*

Push the envelope 

Push some more

We always deserve to have it better

What we think is what makes it

When nothing can shake it

We get a high score

That can’t be ignored

**

I keep thinking about the day

Looking into situations 

*

I have been pulled right through the door

I hope we get what we look for

*

Find the energy we have stored

We still have so much more

That’s the situation

*

Push with our force

Push some more

We always deserve to have it better

What we think is what makes it

When nothing can shake it

I must implore

Reach down to your core

**

Make it happen

Find the way

Get past tough angles

Find the day

That will stay

So much better than just okay

**

I keep thinking about the day

Looking into situations 

*

I have been pulled right through the door

I hope we get what we look for

*

We care beyond what we can store

We may show so much more

That’s the situation

*

Push upon the screen 

Push some more

We always deserve to have it better

What we think is what makes it

When nothing can shake it

I must resort

To increasing support 

**

I will make it happen

Find the way

Get past tough angles

Find the day

That will stay

So much better than just okay

Help me make it happen

Think about the day

***

Excruciating pain of the day

Going away

Only this way

Time passes

*

When stopping suffering seems impossible

Time stands still

Just until

Somehow

The experience passes

*

We survive all the clashes

In our brain

In our body

We can breathe free for the time being 

In our day again

**

Rejuvenating calm of the day

Coming to stay

Only this way

Time passes

*

When peace of mind becomes

less impossible 

Time to chill

Right up until

Somehow

The moment just gets past us

*

We can get by all new clashes

In our brain

With our body

Breathing free for the time being

In our day again

If things go our way

And we work to stay

Calm, cool and okay

*

As we make it through the day

Time passes

***

No matter what

We can be alright

For one minute of the day

And always a second or maybe a few 

If we have time to think

About something new

That we want to do

As we are tested every day

But somehow make it through okay

Until the time that we can concentrate

And appreciate the day

In some way

**

No matter what

We can be okay

For one minute of the day

Or maybe an hour or maybe a few

If we have time to think 

And time to do

What we want to do

As we make progress each day

By somehow making it through okay

Until the time that we can become great

And celebrate the day

In every way

**

No matter what

The summer’s hot

The winter can be cold and grey

The spring is as wet

as the Fall gets

Some sunshine

Helps us make it through each day

The one sure thing that every day brings

Is time to make it through

And search for a way

to stay okay

Each and every day

Let’s make it all the way

***

Getting close to the fire

Sparks are flying higher and higher

Danger holds off our desire

We want the heat

We want the light

We want something just to inspire

**

It may seem that time flies by so fast

Other times it just seems to crawl

Sometimes time flows just as expected

Sometimes we hit the wall

**

Climbing up to the fire

Spirit is rising higher and higher

Dark clouds holds off our desire

We want the heat

We want the light

We want something just to inspire

**

We don’t want situations to be dire

We don’t want a cheater or a liar

We want a true love to admire

We want intensity

On the wire

To get closer to the fire

**

It may seem that time flies by so fast

Other times it just seems to stall

Sometimes time flows just as expected

We are always

in it

for the long haul

***

Rummaging through my grey cells

For something to save the world

Or at least my part of it

With best of intentions

I have to be absolutely sure

To get my fill

Think out loud about your cure

In my corner of the world

**

Barreling through my cognitions 

Towards something to save my world

Or someone to connect to

With less apprehension 

I must be one hundred percent sure

To be super chill

We work together for the cure

With our connection to the world 

**

Thinking about the situation 

Some will look right past

The more involved

The more attention

The more we seem to last

Rushing past

we may have to escape

Standing strong

If we are really great

We do something

just to help the world

Think of

ways to demonstrate

*

Cause a smile

Ease the pain

Organize the situation

For more health

in the future and today

*

In the future and today

**

Crashing through my cortex

With something to save the world

Or at least my part of it

With best of intentions

I have to be absolutely sure

We have to get our fill

And think out loud about a cure

In our space and time and our world

***

The world isn’t fair

Do we really care?

Sometimes

We may just

turn a blind eye to it

We all must contribute

But “Holy Shoot!”

Some people will surely die from it

**

Overloaded

Don’t sugar-coat it

Many are forced

to work right down to the bone

It is like: the master throws it

And then just for show

Life can hit like rock

or a heavy stone

**

The world isn’t fair

Don’t just stop and stare

Never believe

All the wild lies about it

We all should refute

The value of loot 

Some people

Think too highly of it

**

Overloaded

We should have voted

Many are forced to suffer

Strain, moan and groan

We may admit that we know it

But never own it

And still bow down to

the corrupted throne

**

Overloaded

The path eroded

A low life or the big boss

Starved or bloated

We should

balance with equal loads

Never be worn out

Don’t let virtue corrode

Or lives implode

**

The world isn’t fair

Not fully aware?

It can depend on

the fine lines that we draw

Justice is duty

Overall truly

Some people just take more pride in it

It should be a fine time

Not a fatal flaw
