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

***

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 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

***

We don’t know how to help

Because we are not allowed to say

We have to conform

To the social norm

Our work culture can be

a game we play

Winning joy and

Losing pain

Rules and common sense

Healthy communication

Shouldn’t hesitate

No situation is that tense

Let’s ease that into

I want to please you

Strength will come again

**

Do you know what I mean?

Let’s keep it clean

Streamline the connection

by sharing hard facts

We are more productive together

If contributions are clever

Caring more for safety and wellness

With understanding covering

More and more and defining

the very protection of all of

Each other’s

Straining, aching and loaded

Bold

And breaking

Backs

**

We don’t know how to help

When we are not allowed to say

We have to conform

To the social norm

Our daily culture can be

a game we play

Winning joy and

Losing pain

Rules and common sense

Healthy communication

Shouldn’t hesitate

No sitting waiting on the fence

Let’s ease that into

I want to please you

Strength will come again

**

Sometimes it’s the way you say it

Sometimes it’s where you are

Sometimes it’s the sky who is listening

And for moments you shine like a star

*

Our mind hinges on time

Opens to the space around us 

And between us and who we are

*

If we get up and speak up

About our best

Intentions together

Into forever

We will get

Very far

**

What is fact?

Here it is

The story on the table

Truth can heal

Choose it wisely

Only for better wellness label

A belief as a fact

Standing tall

No harmful fiction

Well maybe a fable

But have a chat

No pure lie addiction

Let’s put it all

on the table

*

Look hard

Weigh the options

Create as much

Good health as we can

**

In fact we are clearly

Able to learn

So let’s

Always

Work for the best new plan

*

Modern culture can be

a game we play

Winning joy and

Losing pain

Rules and common sense

Healthy communication

Shouldn’t hesitate

This situation we comprehend

Let’s ease that into

I want to please you

So our strength will come again

***

There are moments in life that we

don’t like to think about

Like when a mistake is made

Throwing shade 

That makes us fill with doubt

Why do we have to think of

Unfair, unhappy things?

Often to get through them

And understand what stings

So we can heal it

Maybe we can’t repair it

But we can try

And get by

And feel better in time

**

What we think

Is what makes us

*

Defines our feelings

And our actions

Only mood can overtake us

Despite our logic

Good or bad stuff

*

We can make someone’s day

We can get carried away

If we are programmed that way

By genetics and experience

And what goes on each day

And what our mind has to say

**

There are moments in life

that we would like to think about

Like when the day has gone great

Made the grade

Thoughts we can’t live without

Why do we have to think of

Unfair, unhappy things?

We see them to get thru them

Patient understanding 

So we can feel love

It’s like we graduate it

When we try

And get by

And feel better in time

**

What we think

Is what makes us

*

Defines our feelings

And our actions

Only mood can overtake us

Despite our logic

Good or bad stuff

*

We can make our own way

We can get carried away

If we are programmed that way

By what we eat and how we sleep

And what goes on each day

And what our mind has to say

**

Overflowing mood of peace

Can overtake stormy times

If I am fearful

Or angry

Or sad

I find the wave of strength that’s glad

Gratitude to breathe

And think the thoughts I choose

*

I choose my mood

I choose to impact others

in a positive way

I choose my own healthy

Work and play

I choose

what my mind

has to say

***

Crazy world keeps on spinning around

It won’t stay the same

Till we hit the ground

Getting down low with

The grind we all know

I’ve been on my own

But I’m never alone

*

All our friends are in our head

Won’t ever leave

We’re Not better off dead

Open our eyes to get ahead

When the path is shown

We turn to stone

And roll until

Forever’s known

**

Feeling heavy

Wearing years of armour

Feeling steady

But setting off the alarm

And waking all the dragons dreaming

I want all of this world

And treasure gleaming

Now I’m out of this world

Trying to turn the other cheek

As I make it through the week

I begin to speak

But I am back in the dungeon again

**

Blazing world

keeps on bringing us down

It stays the same

When we’re on the ground

Getting down low with

The grind we all know

We may be on our own

But we are never alone

*

All our enemies are in our head

Won’t have to leave

We may want them dead

Open our eyes to get ahead

When a solution is shown

No sticks and stones

We stand until

Forever’s known

**

Feeling heavy

Knowing there’s a storm here

Feeling steady

Helping to stop harm here and

Healing all the dragons steaming

We can share all of this world

And treasure gleaming

Now I’m out of this world

Never bruise the other cheek

As I make it through the week

I begin to speak

Now we live in the dragon’s den

**

Amazing world

When winning is found

It’s always the same

When we hit the ground

Getting down low with

The grind we all know

Here we are on our own but

We will never be alone

*

All our thoughts are in our head

They never leave

No dreams are dead

Open our eyes to get ahead

When the river’s shown

We throw the stone

And sink until

Forever’s known
