Did you say magic?

We strive for divine functions

To boost our energy

Promote joy

And share exquisite moments

*

Lives have fallen away from

Kindness and goodwill

*

Suffering and pain

Derive from avarice

And lack of compassion

*

We need courage

To bring the balance back

*

Optimism and empathy

Cascade down mountains of

Faith, virtue and integrity

***

Brave colours emerge

As the shadows of winter have retreated

Today is the face of new life

Like a new wave rippling

Past the clouds

To challenge the sordid storms of yesterday

Striking with intense rivulets of life

Unearthing buried dreams

Flourishing in our mind

and in our heart

*

Appropriate attire?

We dress for success

But a name itself 

Can rise from battling stress

Clamber to safety

or descend to our calm place

We are never too far from finding our ground again

Bitter days struggling lead to

New occasions

We shine again and at least contemplate peace

*

Stare through the protective darkness

Of the trees

Branches of life between us

Shelter eyes

Or fully shade

Days otherwise

Bare to the blinding brilliance of

Our closest star

Life-giving

And healing yet

Dangerous if too direct

Energy flowing

Impossible to live without

Like water and

Our thoughts

*

Laughter from above

Joined by a chorus far below

Rumors of change

Echo in the sun’s plans

But from where we stand

Excitement remains sparse

Onlookers still shiver

Fretting unseasonable weather

As if we are unprepared

And make light of the situation

Smiling full-heartedly

And with optimism

Hoping others follow

*

Some look down on

Spring flowers

Frown on the significance of

Sharing color

Frilled and flowing shapes

Reach out with the

Serious aesthetics of

Optimism and whimsy

Extend far past the sardonic rumbles of cynical critics

The detrimental frosty grips lose their touch as

Warmth arrives

*

Holding fire

And isolating energy

Waves reflect light

Intense like spirit

Through forever changing seasons

Heated vision comforts

Days impacted by neglect

Cold shoulders of the shore

Fade in and out of existence

New days

Trees rise as

Years submersed

Shapes drift

High and low

Bobbing until washed up

Or sinking till the end of time

***

I cannot forget today
Yesterday: Maybe
But the future ahead
Is carried by the river
*
All things past
Even those left for dead
Can still strike a note
Make me shake and shiver
Excitement
Good or bad
But now I summon the energy
To bring tomorrow’s joy
For all of us waiting here
We hope life will deliver
*
The strangest thing I said
Went right to your head
And I’ll never get to explain how
The river bed rolls
And now the ground starts to move
The skies are shifting for the world we choose
I want to say
One time for sure
I am reaching out to you
I want you to be well
Find Heaven past all Hell
*
We can’t forget today
Yesterday is fading
And the future ahead
Is carried by the river
*
All things last
Once they get in our head
And can still strike a note
Time, gold or an old wood sliver
Fragments, Good or bad
Cleanse or craft connections
Now I summon the energy
To find tomorrow’s peace
With faith waiting here
We know life will deliver
*
The strangest thing I said
Seemed to go over your head
And I’ll never get to explain how
The river rocks roll
And now the ground starts to move
Vast skies are shifting for the world we choose
I want to say
One time for sure
I am reaching out to you
I want you to be well
Find Heaven past all Hell
*
Heaven beyond Hell
I thought it would never drop
Future stories to tell
Today must stay on top
I can’t get down
Without the sound
Beauty and movement
The river never stops
I want you to be forever well
The river starts to swell
Taking us straight through
Heaven past all hell
Find Heaven past all hell
*
I can’t forget today
All these current changes
And the future ahead
Is carried by the river

*
We will never know
How the river rocks roll
Until the river comes flowing through
And now the ground starts to move
Life’s skies are shifting for the world we choose
I want to say
One time for sure
I’m reaching out to you
I want you to be well
Find Heaven past all Hell

Awake to the world

with

Unpredictable reactions

And a focus closely tied

To our deepest dreams

*

Ideas 3-2-1

Launch spontaneous compassion

Compose what we do

Based on life’s pure mystery

*

Soaring high above

Well, crashing moments later

Life has highs and lows

If today is any indicator

**

Develop your good love

Focus makes life greater

Waves rolling high above

And crashing moments later

*

Running across the flat ground

And sinking into the sand once stretched-out

We search the earth for perfection

But it’s our dreams that we have planned out

*

Awake to the world

Awake to the world

**

Awake to the world

with a

Ground-breaking reaction

And a focus closely tied

To our deepest dreams

Ideas 3-2-1

Launch spontaneous compassion

Elevate what we do

Based on life’s pure empathy

*

Riding high above

Storm crashing moments later

Life has calm and chaos

If today is any indicator

**

Develop your good love

Life is a rushing breaker

Waves rolling high above

And crashing moments later

*

Washing over the dry shores

Then reaching to the sea with their hands out

Waves change when energy transfers

A new day once our dreams have fanned out

*

Awake to the world

Awake to the world

Awake to the world

Like a natural reaction

And a focus closely tied to our deepest dreams

Plan the day ahead 

With a good attitude

Focus on your dreams

And remember what is new

As the tides recede

Take all that you need

And share good vibes with

Everyone you can think of

Awake to the world

Living in these times

Each day moves

Slow and deliberate

Towards survival and the mood of the day

*

Living in these times

Each hour improves

The flow when we’re into it

Of course, life-changing

With the mood of the day

With the mood of the day

*

I’ve reached the peak

I can’t be

Constantly

Out of my head

Out of my mind

Without soul

**

Be real and speak

I can’t be

Constantly

Out of my head

Out of my mind

Without soul and without connection

*

Living in these times

It’s these social grooves

The flow when we’re into it

Slow and delicate

Brings a perspective with

The mood of today

With The mood of today

*

Find ways to get better

Together

For a better mood today

*

Don’t bottle-up emotion

Freedom is not just a notion

Be real and speak

Truth is not a freak

I want to say

Constantly

Whatever comes to my head

What’s on my mind

From my soul

Living a lie is no way to grow old

We can’t be

Constantly 

Out of our heads

Out of our minds

Without soul and without connection

**

Living in these times

Each day moves

Slow and deliberate

Towards survival and the mood of the day

*

Living in these times

Each word we choose

So indefinite

Should be more engaging

For the mood of the day

I’ve reached the peak

I can’t Be

Constantly

Out of my head

Out of my mind

Without soul and

Without All of you

***

Floating and anchored

In the midst of a channel

A network to generate

Years of energy

*

Lifetime is building up

It helps when the plan gels

A connection to include

The insight of many

*

We flounder if unheard and

We can sink unseen

The sound of the bottom

A call progress must heed

**

Rocks on the river bed

Need to be handled

Each step anticipate

Fluid energy

*

Lifetime is lining up

Sure ground is spanned out

The connection we choose

Can affect so many

*

We wallow if unsure and

We may drown if fractured

Care for the bottom

We must manufacture

**

Work for the river

Work to stream dreams

Listen to the ones you love

With no one in between

*

Hold our devoted life

Work to share dreams

Look out for the ones you love

With no one in between

**

Find new days

Fully charged

Feel the feeling of all involved 

Take care and share 

Live life large

Open up to all the world

*

Be open to a lot more

And start living smart

Hear the sound all around

Open up to the rock bottom

Of your giving heart

**

Coasting way past shore

Turning wheels:

You won’t stand still

A future to generate

Pure life energy

*

Lifetimes supplying

Freedom that’s planned out

A connection we can’t lose

We’re counting on so many

*

We wind down if unheard

We wash away unseen

Bump the bass

To unburden the bottom

And build it into our dreams

**

Find new days

Fully charged

Feel the feeling of all involved 

Take care and share 

Live life large

Open up to all the world

*

Be open to a lot more

And start living smart

Hear the sound of all around

Open to the rock bottom

Of your giving heart

Maybe I seem all over the place

Maybe I crossed the line

But there’s no other way to live my life

And I know I’m doing fine

*

We walk a fine line

No matter what we do

We can walk the straight and narrow

But have a hard time getting through

*

You are you

Do what you do

Just stay true

Don’t change

*

Maybe I seem like I’m from outer space

Maybe I’m out of time

But there’s no other way to live my life

And I know I’m doing fine

*

We age like fine wine

With all that we do

Like going over the falls in a barrel

Our best flavours coming through

*

You are you

Do what you do

Just stay true

And get better

*

You are you

Do what you do

Just stay true

To your very best

*

Hold on tight to what you think is right

Just take time to weigh the options

Use your common sense

Don’t be too tense

You can be bold and brave

Choose the world you save

But with any fine line

It’s usually best

To remain somewhat cautious

*

Maybe it seems like I’m caught in the chase 

Maybe I’m falling behind

But there’s no other way to live my life

And I know I’m doing fine

*

We make up our mind

It’s what we have to do

We can build our dreams like a Pharaoh

So time will forever run through

*

You are you

Do what you do

Just stay true

Life matters

***

At night awake in my bed

Sound of rain coming down

Like an orchestra

Full of enthusiastic emotion

*

Light has forsaken the dead

Whipping branches thrashing

Blustery eavesdrop splashing

Twigs in chorus claw

Percussion

The gutters’ devotion

*

High pitch notes

All they know

Fast finger tips flow on

A wild and wet winter piano

*

Night awakes in my head

Now a train’s familiar sound

With it’s focused blasts

Fast wheels whir and hum with emotion

For miles shaking the dead

Whistling past each crossing

Twisting, turning and tossing

Tracks squealing metal

Each car shudders

Nightmares and dreams in motion

Soothing notes

As they roll

Like on a moonlight stroll

Sinking into sunrise and my mind’s goals

*

Day and night

Bright sound

All around

Mighty music moving fast

Emotion always coming down

Rain

A symphony

Sunshine

Comes down in blasts

Emotion coming from the sound

The mood in our mind often lasts

Awake at night

Bright sound all around

Mighty music moving fast

Emotion always coming around

Get up or down

The spell is cast

*

“Can’t take the night,” I’ve never said

Found my pain is calming down

The torch is passed

Now I can celebrate emotion

Just can’t fake it to get ahead

After days we’re crashing

A positive attitude is smashing

This life is such a blast

No rushing

The independent notion

The purest notes

We’ll ever know

When our dreams grow and flow

Into the optimistic tomorrow

Today comes at me

To survive

Must compete

When we’re a team and minds meet

Calm care can’t be beat

Now look ahead so fiercely

I find myself in some heat

*

Fire moves my machine

So alive

Time we meet

Sky and steam tastes so sweet

Nightmares to defeat

Live the dream to succeed

And that’s how we’re

Complete

*

Together

Whatever happens

It gets easier

For all of us  to win

-*

Up against the world

We strive

To succeed

When we’re a team and minds meet

To keep it fair is a treat

Play the game and never cheat

Cool together

We’re complete

*

Together

Whatever happens

It gets easier

For us all to have a chance

*

Fire moves my machine

So alive

Times we meet

Sky and steam

Feel the heat

Nightmares left to defeat

Live the dream to succeed

And that’s how we can be

Totally complete

*

Together

Whatever happens

It gets easier

For us all to have a chance

In this wild romance

Love to sing and dance

You had me at first glance

***

Frozen as if in the deepest, winding dream

In the farthest corner of the swirling room

Trying hard just to reach out

Caught fast as distant, inviting eyes gleam

My body still can’t make a single move

The music plays, breaching loud

For moments that seem to last forever

I’m cemented tight, locked in my spot

Suddenly released, shy chains are severed

As my temperature rises, rocking hot

Breaking clean, Pulled by the freedom machine

Outside gravity and into this grooving scene

Every ounce of energy focused on the soothing beat

Shaking, stretching, pumping limbs and my entire core

Leaving absolutely no question as to what movement is for
