Gratitude

For everything

*

Turn a blind eye

to that which can’t be

*

That which shouldn’t be

Will fall away

*

May all that we need

stay close to us

*

Close to us

is a vast measurement

as we reach across

the whole universe

*

We are here

But reach there

In the blink of an eye

*

Connect

**

Connection to the other side

Of the world

The wall

The window

*

Connecting to another guide

From the world

A cold wind

The warm glow

*

We all need the sun

Breath of life

We need the world

Need what’s inside most

We should be free to seek fun

Seriously

But first free the world

From scenes

that are unkind though

**

That which shouldn’t be

Will fall away

*

May all that we do need

stay here with us

*

Here with us

is a bold statement

as we look across

the whole universe

*

We are here

But reach there

Within our mind’s eye

*

Connect

The vision

Of everything

*

Turn all of our eyes

To life as it should be

*

Create

More peace and harmony

***

There is no stopping speed

Unless you change the inertia

Hitting a wall

Might just be perfect

*

Looking up for each day

Is much more worth it

Hold onto the nail

As we hit hard to secure it

*

Ten nails on my hands

I try pushing through crowds

I stick to the same speed

We stick to the ground

**

One word is heard before all

Hello

would you like to fall?

Then slow down

Or get set

Must take a stand

It can’t get out of hand

Inside the machine

We buckle up

Get going, keep clean

And do our thing

Think, discuss

Work, sleep and eat

While time speeds by

Carry on inside

We feel what we feel

And believe what we believe

**

There is no starting speed

Unless you change the inertia

With what we haul

A push might be perfect

*

Looking up for each day

is always worth it

We can’t ever fail

If we know how to work it

*

Ten fails I can’t stand

I try pushing through crowds

I pick up to speed

And get picked up off the ground

**

Try to alleviate more of the pressure around us

Just get up

And get set

Must take a stand

It can’t get out of hand

Inside the machine

We suck it up

Get going, done deed

And do our thing

Think progress

Work on everything

While time speeds by

Carry on inside

We feel what we feel

And believe what we believe

***

Surprising change of pace

We are caught up in the race

As we begin

Trying to win

Better just lay it down

And it will all come together

*

Arriving kind of late

There’s no way to avoid fate

I knew it was my thing

But I couldn’t bring it

I was being held down

By gravity and the weather

**

Dividing up our days

And every hour we face

The life we’re in

Always depends

On how we can stay up

A moment can last forever 

**

Make it count

But go with the flow

Peace we have found

Helps out all we know

*

Be the difference

If it’s all the same

If no one listens

It’s just a shame

*

But it’s still best

to play the game

Share our passion

And take the blame

**

Surprised look on your face

It’s best if we can keep pace

As we begin

Trying to win

Better just lay it down

And it will all come together

**

When we drive to be great

We should never hesitate

If it is not my thing

Find new moves

and bring them

If I’m being held down

That’s just gravity

And the weather

***

Years of fears

Sometimes

I have felt a hollow future

Other times it fills up

And becomes so strong

*

The sound is very clear

I hear the winning cheers

People far and people near

Following the slope of life

A knowing drive

A hopeful viewpoint

We all need someone

Or

Something that we can work for

**

I need you here

This time

To prevent a hollow future

This time will fill up

To become so strong

*

I have filled my days

And made it okay

No matter what they say

Faith will never be gone

I will make it each day

My optimism will stay

We will all find our way

Hope for life can’t be wrong

**

Years are mirrors

Sometimes

I have seen a hollow future

Other times it fills up

And becomes so strong

*

Years have jeers

Sometimes

They cause a hollow future

Other times we fill up

And become so strong

**

The sound is very clear

I hear the spinning gears

People far and people near

Each hold their shred of life

A better drive

A different viewpoint

We all need someone

Or

Something for us to work for

**

I need you here

All the time

To prevent a hollow future

This time will fill up

To become so strong

*

We fill up all our days

We can make it okay

No matter what they say

Trust will never be gone

I will make it some day

My optimism will stay

We all find our way

Coping is never wrong

*

We will know more about life 

By tomorrow at dawn

Bullies

Think that they are right

And fight the fight

They don’t care 

when they hurt others

Well… actually

they do tend to like that

Get off on it

Because it boosts their ego

“Great,” with sarcasm I say

“Let’s be malicious!”

Nothing says good humanity

Like being vicious

🙄

**

Going against

Everything we are taught

by the good books

But then

They still say that the one

Good book

Should be revered

While they go against it

In every way

To me that’s 100% weird

Bizarre and totally absurd

Still they claim that

they are the smartest

because

That’s their ego

**

Bullies criticize others

With blind hypocrisy

*

They are vicious like animals

Then praise

their own humanity

Everything they gather

Steal, deprive

Is a nice trophy

(While they are alive)

But when they’re gone

Nothing lives on

And the world takes a nose dive

How greedy

How selfish can they be?

**

What if the afterlife does arrive?

And kindness thrives

I doubt that

their ego will be revived

*

Bullies

Often do control situations

Even communication

That we

would like to engage in

*

As we speak

They dig their nails in

To prevent good

from coming through

Because our ideas go against

what they stand for

(their contrived world view)

*

Fact is

they wouldn’t stand that way

if they actually knew

What would help

the situation most

And better things

that they could do

**

If it’s all about ego

Are bullies cool?

Because

they have power over others

And use good people like tools?

*

No, that’s not cool

*

That’s

the destruction of humanity

Which in the end

Will make us all look like fools

When bullies hurt everyone

With harmful

Self-imploding rules

The victims may fall first

But the bullies will suffer

Unsupported alone

In their own

self-designed

Egocentric cesspools

***

It’s a new day

I’m taking it on

The old ways

Should be gone now

Except for the learning

And best healing ways

Whatever helps us all get along

Most surely should stay

**

It’s always a new day

Let’s take them all on

The old ways

Should just be gone now,

The ones that discriminate

Based on bad assumptions

And views that don’t include

Each one of us

*

Why can’t we trust

Each day that arrives?

Why can’t we just

Get on with our lives?

**

It’s hard days

When we can’t get ahead

Because someone else

Has been misled

*

Rumours of differences

Have gone to their head

The past should melt

We must cut harmful threads

**

It’s a new day

It’s nearly dawn

The past ways

We should get on now

Consider new learning

Find the best healing ways

Whatever helps us all get along

Most surely should stay

**

It’s always a new day

Let’s take them all on

The past ways

Have already shone now,

The ones that discriminate

Based on dim assumptions

And views that don’t include

Each one of us

*

We should discuss

Each day that arrives

Why can’t we just

Improve more of our lives?

**

It’s hard days

When we can’t get ahead

Because someone else

Is full of dread

*

Misunderstood differences

Have gone to their head

The past should melt

We must cut harmful threads

*

And sew together

The seeds for a new way

The materials that covers

Everyone

All the way

No true love is dead

It’s always a new day

***

In this mood

It might seem rude

To assume

that it’s

so positive that it’s vain

If lashing out

There is no doubt

Avoid any prolonged pain

With the cold fall rain

I have to say

It feels okay

Enough to make a difference

In our perspective

Today for positive gain

*

I can’t complain

I hope it turns out great

**

In this mood

That might improve

As if on cue

It is

so intricate it may seem vain

I’m just branching out

There is no doubt

Avoid any ounce of pain

With the cold Fall rain

I have to say

It seems impossible

But we can still make a difference

In this perspective

Today

For internal gain

*

It may seem plain

Bur we can make it great

**

Everybody knows

Despite what shows

Below the pose

We are as tough as nails

*

On the wire

And flying higher

Within the fire

We have lived the tale

We will never fail

No matter what they say

Somehow it can be okay

And we will prevail

*

With our hard-earned pay

Never off the rails

Open our mind like sails

Only the wind will still trail

**

Big or small

The hammer falls

We know what that entails

Hard-headed

With direction

A strong spirit

keeps us here

Sometimes there is a test

And we are

Just as tough as nails

**

In this mood

Good attitude 

Can be viewed

It is

so essential

Not seen as vain

Just watching out

There is no doubt

Avoid any unfair pain

With the cold Fall rain

I have to say

With each sun ray

We can always make a Difference

In our perspective

Today for bottom-line gain

*

There will be change

It has to turn out great

**

Floor to the roof

Or hit the wall

We will not move

The hammer falls

We know it never fails

Hard headed

With direction

A strong spirit

keeps us here

We don’t want anything less

So we stay

Just as tough as nails

***

I have got an idea

It is becoming clear now

In order to follow through

I have to consume all the fear

Eat it right up

So it no longer gets in the way

Like flip things upside down

So they don’t seems so grey

After they drag me through the mud

And I put in

All my blood, sweat and tears

I will have no fears

And I can get on with my idea

**

If I can just get some momentum now

I can

Move on with the morning

Somehow have a good impact

Feel well myself

Aim to help everyone else

As the day is warming

Make a difference

while we can

Create a better plan

And stop focusing on

What is and isn’t normal

Healing solutions

Are more important

**

The night can be cold

We have to be bold now

Visions in the stars

Immeasurably far

Each one burning bright

And like snowflakes incessantly swarming

Act now

Prepare

Better ways to see

And better ways to be

Prevent

Negative impact that

Happens next if it’s stormy

Find strong form

For the days ahead

And we should never ignore real chances

to make a Positive difference in life

*

That is so important

***

It’s been a busy day

Making my way

I’ve got this energy

And hope that it stays

*

When the day is done

Smooth as it could run

We hope that we can rest

Plan tomorrow best

Feel comfort

Have fun

Forever chase the sun

Guided by the stars and moon

Together we have won

**

t’s been a busy day

Work to be paid

I’ve got this energy

And hope that it stays

*

When the day is done

Everything I could run

We hope that we can rest

Plan tomorrow best

Feel comfort

Have fun

Forever chase the sun

Guided by the stars and moon

Together we are strong

**

Busy times

Every day

Busy times

All the way

*

We are getting far

We are moving fast

We try to be smart

So we can make it past

Everything we need

With what we say

Simple statement

Let’s work hard and play

**

It’s been a busy day

Making my way

I’ve got this energy

And hope that it stays

*

When the day is done

We should never have to run

We hope that we can rest

Plan tomorrow best

We find more

To stay strong

Forever chase the sun

Guided by the stars and moon

Together we are one

***

The air is cool, electrified

Hot chocolate

would be really nice

Walk towards the winter days

Night is right as music plays

No storm hits now

Just calming weather

Perfect somehow

We are together

The trees light up in the breeze

We enjoy

this kind of freeze

**

The lake is glass and shines so bright

An anchored ship

A beacon of light

*

Preparing for our winter days

Night won’t bite as dry we stay

No storm rages now

Just lovely weather

Perfect somehow

We are together

Trees are dark against the skies

We savour shapes with our eyes

**

The path we take

on this Autumn night

Is part of the universe

filled with light

Into the dark void

of the unknown skies

It is all ours

We realize

A glowing warmth

contrasts the cold

A caring friend

Our hand takes hold

When we look so deep

We learn to see

And never forsake

This reality
