Most days I make things happen
Sometimes there are some perks
Most ways, I will try to win
I take aim to be sure
*
Whether or not we can reach the top
Depends on the official decision
We can’t always be the champion
And that is not always our mission
*
I work full time and then some
I take pride in my work
My word can not be a sin
Of virtue I am sure
*
Whether or not we can pull it off
Depends on their most current opinion
We are not just dull mindless machines
We run better with intuition
*
It IS my mission
to survive
and to enjoy
and to improve our lives
These are the top three goals for me
They are my vision
And my drive
I will avoid
All other views of life
That is just how it rolls for me
The more that I can help the world
The more support that I seem to receive
*
I work for more and mean it
Succeed for what it’s worth
I always try to reason
My optimism’s sure
*
Whether or not it will hit the spot
Depends mostly on my latest vision
I am not just imagination
Our shared peace of mind
is my mission

When we can see the sky
And feel the time
Stretching out
like the wind seeking
sensations
We experience the reach
Of our hour and our vision
With life’s precision
spiking our every nerve
*
Sun all day
Moon at night
We need the time
Reaching out
Like the stars seeking
Attention
We experience the stretch
of our shadow cast from bright light
Within our keen sight
Life shines shapes into our eyes
*
Every nerve is isolated
Then brought together in a wave
Riding high and crashing low
Memories
The dreams we save
A blanket of feeling
When the current
washes over
We can hit the ceiling
Times enduring
Touch our whole world
Every ounce of life that we live
Is the time that we take
and what life gives
*
Above all
Light and life
We reach the time
Splashing out
Like raindrops seeking
Our vision
We experience spectrums
From the water and our light source
Just with the right course
All our senses bring us life
And time

Quite a game
Never the same
On the edge of our seat
again and again
*
Getting tight
With how we fight
We always work with our
Grit and might
*
Greatest days
We all
make our plays
We would not have it
Any other way
*
We make it through
With all that we do
We should not have to feel
excruciating loss
Consquence should come at an acceptable cost
Not causing acute emotions
No more than annoyed
The most intense feeling
that we should ever have
Correct me if I am wrong
But to me it should be:
Pure joy
Winning but also just playing
Pure excitement
From moments in life
*
Somehow we get through
With all of our best moves
We each have our own game
Through and through
Me and you
Now we will win
And not lose
Make it happen again
In some way
Every day

Intense as usual
Our times are incredible
Sometimes it is amazing
How much we get through
*
While also having good times
It gets tough enough
Then we get tough enough
It is about having good times
It is what we do
*
One day
The next day
Today
Tomorrow
*
Time together
I want much more of
Time gets better
We have more is store of
*
Intense approval
Our times are well-spent and chill
No matter what the day is
Strong spirits get through
*
While also having good times
Love keeps what we do new
You make it new
It is about having good times
It is what we do
*
One year
The next hour
This year
Right now
*
Time together
It is about how
Time gets better
Today gives us power

In social circles
Competition develops
When insiders want more
Uncaring for
The situation others expect
Or the fact that it is respect
But then when they do support the rest
Disparity becomes less sheer
And we carry on
With our protected and life-long equities
*
In social circles
Stigma develops
When outsiders look in
Unaware of
a situation’s other context
Or the fact that it is complex
But then when they do their utmost best
Discrimination disappears
And we carry on
with our respected idiosyncrasies
*
Social stars take us further
Weave into systems
Once unheard of
Aiming to boost our wellness
Their words and actions tell us
*
In social circles
wellness develops
When everyone shares views
Not unfair to
The situation others respect
Or the fact that it all reflects
But then when they do truly connect
Dissonance leaves harmony here
And we carry on
With our collective shared personalities

Today keeps on moving
Perspectives improving
*
In the middle of the moment
Find more ways to keep up to the pace
Think about the bigger picture
When we get
a chance to reflect
Even if we are in the middle of living
We have time
to take care of this place
*
Today keeps on moving
Cool calm thoughts are soothing
*
In the middle of the cold wind
Find more ways to harness the sun rays
Take hold of the bigger picture
Every day
with comfort in check
Like when we are in the middle of living
And make time
to find ways to save grace
*
Like the sun shining through
a once cloudy day
Bright rays blaze past edges
Of the wet and grey
*
We care for the world
Especially what affects us most
Then it all comes around
The new future is close
*
Today keeps on moving
Tomorrow we are choosing
*
In the middle of forever
Find more ways
to keep a good head space
We are in the bigger picture
When we love more
and show respect
We can stay right in the middle of living
Take our time
to create better days

Maybe it could be summed up as using our brain and our soul and trying to be productive for people and life.

Cats a couple weeks ago, just a funny shot.

Spirit of the day
Mood of the hours
Wherever we are at
Focus brings us powers
*
To see things much more clearly
To make better life choices
To make a difference here
among all the other voices
*
Voices that whisper
Voices that call
With words to ensure
that we never fall
Down to the depths
But help us get a breath
*
We are the spirit of the day
We have the mood of the hours
We feel a better way
When kind comfort showers
Down from good sense
To help us stay content
*
Spirit of the time
Attiitude towers
When we have good taste and
The feelings don’t sour
*
To see things and find beauty
To hear music past noises
To make a difference here
Connect all the other voices
+
Voices that agree
Voices above all
With words to protect
from hitting the wall
When we feel tense
Share words to stay content
*
We are the spirit of the day
We have the mood of the hours
We feel a better way
When we harness our powers
We are down with good intent
And our time better spent
*
Spirit of our life
Mood, the rain scours
Whatever we can do
Together has powers

The sound of a drum roll
Or thunder
*
Or a truck rumbling past
It wakes up all of our soul
grabs our attention
with some luck
divided fast
or consumed by the sounds
and feelings rushing by
It makes us want to live
And never want to die
**
Hard rain on the window
Or the wind
*
Tree branches scratching the glass
The mood arrives and it flows
Needs some attention
For the win
Focused fast
Connected by the sounds and feelings rushing by
It makes us want to live
**
Fireworks in the cool night
Or a train
*
Or our music on full blast
It can be all that we know
Share our attention
A full pull
Acquired fast
Accepting of the sounds and feelings rushing by
It makes us want to live
And never want to die

---

We need a clear pathway
to a cherished space
A sunlit hallway
to an encouraging place
where we can go anytime
with plenty of room
That feels more than sublime
with ways to get through
And new hours to take us
Out past the world
when we have to move
A soothing flow
Down a winding road
where we always go
and leave behind
unneeded mind
like anxiety
and suffering
So we can feel free
Together 
and whenever we can be
Feeling better
Always find ways to get back to it
and never stray too far from it
That frame of mind
In space and time
At any moment
That we think about life
And then never doubt it
We will be here again
Before the end
and in some sense we will
Experience
All of these thoughts and feelings
Forever

We can sail through the stars                                         

And get into thoughts that matter

Shining scales     so blue and dark

The water’s surface shatters

*

I won’t fail to do my part

And get into thoughts that matter

Catch the tails    of moving sharks

People on the beach  all  scatter

*

Thinking about our deep thoughts

Our mind is an ocean

In our own precious head

Moving fast and entertaining the notion with immense range

Like    when   we  reach  the sky instead

*

Thinking about our deep thoughts

Like a rock on the bottom of a riverbed

Staying still

but still feeling constant motion

Until intense change

like    when a flood delivers it

*

Constellations above      We are far beneath

Calm conclusions   

The bottom line      We will reach

Focused thoughts go further

and actions are complete

*

The wind wails to be smart

and gets into thoughts that matter

Rain or hail

Won’t lose our spark

Bright stars know    our whole thought pattern
