First We Imagine


It is not hard to imagine
Just breathing calmly
and looking out at the world
Not impacted
But just calmly aware
as we decide how to react
*
We harness our energy
Protect comfort
Reject discord
Project kind words
Respect supports
*
Those around us that help us survive
Share our ways to have a good life
Together
Whenever
It doesn’t take much effort
To harness the energy
*
A single word can make a difference
Even a thought
Just considering the situation
We influence further reactions
Enable connection to gain traction
Build it on the inside
Effort to make it right
Clear path when calm care guides
Now we take action
First we imagine


Better Days


I had this frightening dream
But things were not as they seemed
I realized that in some ways
My frame of mind
controls the days
Despite intense feeling
Our mind makes it real and
We can always have
better days
*
A winding mirage
rises off the road
Steam rises off a lake
In nightmares there are
Billowing clouds of smoke
Fast fires that we create
*
In our mind and in our day
Burning moments wash away
In the ocean of life
Waves may overtake the flame
*
Then rise so fast up again
With the sun or
A gull that went diving
Got their prize
Now are thriving
Through mist off
the waves we are riding
*
I had this amazing dream
We each have this steady stream
We must make our play in some ways
As fate and time
control the days
We find intense feeling
Our time will stay real and
We can always have better days


Better Days, The True Nature


Think it over

Time is telling

Who is true and

What they’re selling

*

Nothing in between

Honesty and lies

Except for illusions

That become disguised

*

This is not candy-coated

It can’t be a complete surprise

There is no forever Hell

When we open up our eyes

*

We can be well again

We need not stop to cry

There is a spell for everything

that nothing can defy

*

Find truth through the haze

Past fires that blaze

Past clouds and thick smoke

That can blur all our days

It may disappear

when we find grace

We will see the source

if we don’t always chase

Given enough time

We can understand this place

And see the sure face

The true nature of our time and space

**

Think it over

Time is yelling

Who is right and

What is well here

*

Nothing in between

Honesty and lies

In some ways the truth here

is always alive

*

No apparitions floating

It should not come as a surprise

There is no forever Hell

Changing dreams will never die

*

We can we well again

when we start getting wise

We cast a spell on everything

that nothing can defy

*

Find life in every case

It should not go to waste

The world is not broke

We just have to keep pace

If we disappear

Don’t go in haste

Life will run it’s course

Conscious thought always stays

Given enough time

We can understand this place

Let’s have better days

The true nature of our time and space


The Great Ideas


Great idea
We climb the sky
Fly as fast as we run
Run to get by

Fast footwork takes us far
Past those that are left
Stuck at the start

They think that there is no point
Then they lose their heart
but optimism pays
And our success is smart

That still did not get any ground
They did not like the sound
Of moving ahead
That is what they said
Now we are a universe away
Those times quickly fade
And we can celebrate together
the great ideas
that got us here today

Great idea
We thrive and smile
Rise faster than we fall
Fall from the sky

Fast feelings take us far
Past knowing
So check
And stay on guard

There has to be a point
When we choose our heart
but intelligence pays
So we won’t fall apart

That can’t change when we hit the ground
New courage must be found
For moving ahead
It had to be said
We may be a universe away
But times quickly change
And we can celebrate together
the great ideas
Between us here today


Sustainable


I take a minute to myself
To appreciate what I have
Recognize how tough things can get
And wonder how we can
*
Make peace
Sustainable
*
Then I lay back and think
What a good life
But what chaos
and demands the world has
I stop and I see
It’s easy
when I am in the mood
But when it’s brutal
I will not come unglued
*
They still have the days to themselves
To understand what they have
Redefine anything that they choose
In their hearts they try to
Make this
Sustainable
Enjoyable
More than just tolerable
*
Make life
Sustainable
Enjoyable
At least tolerable
For all of us
*
When we take more time for ourselves
To develop what we have
Realize how good things could be
Work more efficiently
*
Make life
Sustainable
*
When we face facts and think
What a hard life
But what pay offs
And good plans the world has
I stop and I see
It is not free
But I can change my mood
And it is beautiful
when peace is new
*
When we have hours to ourselves
To work with everything we have
Redesign just what needs to be
And help to create peace
*
Make it sustainable
Enjoyable
Totally shareable
For all of us
*
Peace can be exciting
Even find it at the heights
*
Make it sustainable
Enjoyable
At least tolerable
All the time
for
All of us
*
Peace is a way of thinking
When we trust in ourselves
Follow through
And be true
For our own lives
our world
and our health
*
Make us sustainable


Together Today


Good days
In top gear
Such undaunted poise
We pass every test
With each gauntlet choice
Our decisions are best
Flowing with how we feel
is way more real
We keep staying strong
Taking
Incredible steps in the day
That’s how our day rolls
Making time
Never late
*
Bold days
Without fear
No unwanted noise
will add up to stress
No cold haunted voice
of today or the past
will change how we feel
It is a package deal
We keep driving through
Making
Meaningful stops in the day
Achieving our goals
Taking time
to create
*
We have success
When we are in the zone
The world is our own
We accomplish our mission
Together today
*
And never alone
Above tomorrow we hover
A new world to discover
We win when we love life more
And there will be no other


Move Fast, Choose Today


Oh my soul shaker
Everything is taking it’s time
Move fast
Every day
Don’t want to fall too far behind
*
Oh my goal maker
Everything is at stake this time
Move fast
All the way
We all have to cross the line
*
We can find what we want
If we get what we need
So we don’t break
We must watch our speed
*
Too fast
Slows today
Smooth as glass
When we move this way
*
Oh my role taker
Every day we can make good time
Move fast
Balance stays
Creating what is on our mind
*
We can tell what we want
we may get what we need
Won’t make mistakes
When we get up to speed
*
Move fast
Slow some ways
Views that last
When we choose today


Okay or Better


We have reached
A new stage of development
The ideas flow
like rivers
And our plans are engaged in the raging
rapids that always slither
Serpents of progress
Lead to oceans that shimmer
The sun heats all of our days
Past each summer and winter
*
On the beach
A new phase of development
The ideas glow
like embers
And our plans are blazing in the raging
bonfires we remember
Flames of a phoenix
Lead to bright skies with splendour
Our spark burns through every day
All year and past December
*
We should teach
A new grace in development
The ideas show
Steam blends views
Fluid plans are all brave in the raging
Kettles that we now tend to
Boiled dreams like water
Lead to goals to ascend to
Sharing vision in our days
With no time to pretend through
Any day
Just clear the way
For simple goals
So everybody feels okay or better


The Best With All the Rest


What a life
Here it is
It gets better
Or it is the best
*
As we get closer
I want the most time
To go better
With all the rest
*
If we are engulfed in content
And joy
It seems that we are blessed
It should be no surprise
We can not hide
There is another test
We never
get totally used to it
*
Up and down
For better or worse
We have choices
First things first
*
Consider the big picure
And then hone our specific focus
Time put us back together
If it ever broke us
*
The pieces that were once scattered
Are now scattered again
When we get it back together
We should not see the end
*
This is life
Here it is
It gets better
Or it is the best
*
As we get closer
I want the most time
To feel better
With all the rest


All That We Know About


Step up
Climb the ladder
Ramp it up
And work it out
*
Upstairs
Really matters
Champion
To get past doubt
*
Up to you
Illusions shatter
Amp it up
The truth is loud
*
Keep it up
The healing chatter
Stamp out fear
We may have to shout
*
Sometimes we do
Need to shout
Otherwise they won’t hear
What would help us out
*
Sometimes
we just need to calmly
reflect our viewpoint
*
When we have no other choices
We can calmly reflect
On our point of view
*
Sometimes together
*
Clear this up
Be emphatic
To shape up
All we know about
*
Here’s what’s up
It has to add up
To work it out
All that we know about
