Spirit of Now


Now is as pure as day
As cool as the middle of the night
Flowing like words we say
When we get it right
*
Now is as clear as glass
Each hour holds forever
On contact, it drops fast
The rock of all-time shatters
And now becomes the past
And the pieces really matter
*
Now is assured to pay
Like the truth of a prime time prize fight
Knowing just work and play
The contest still stays tight
*
Now the contrast is vast
One second changes forever
Winning first, losing last
Our world will not lose track here
There should be no outcasts
The main event will be right back here
*
Now helps to cure the grey
With colours new to the day or night
Showing a wild display
It is not just black and white
*
Now can be a real blast
The moment can last forever
If that’s something we would ask
Then it becomes a fact here
Dull stress we can outlast
Our spirit has the most impact here


Process: Details and Situations

Sometimes I write to document and work through concerns and thoughts.

It is not always as much about rhyme and rhythm?!

It is not always so much about being heard but it is also about shaping ideas so they become more useful to me too.

I do also definitely hope to share thoughts that could be useful for others, that have been useful for me…

This piece is about those moments when I do think too much, or worry and unintentionally engage in mild to medium rumination, which can sometimes lead to fixation and anxiety… with all that is going on in the world.

It is often best to be most objective, even distance ourselves from situations for a better perspective, and we should avoid wasting our thoughts on stressful situations that we can’t impact.

Still, it can help for us to consider situations to develop better ways to think about them for the future.

I feel that it is important to work through our thoughts, but be mindful of our own and others’ wellness in processing, and of the potential to make a difference.


Process: Details and Situations

I care so much about
situations and details
*
If I take a step back I might say
that I should care less
Or just acknowledge that I care
and then carry on
becoming less aware
*
Life is life
There is nothing that I can do
about certain situations
So then
Don’t waste time on them
*
But sometimes when I am caring
I am making progress
And working through problems
*
So really
I might as well care as much as I do
Spend time thinking about
details and situations
And think of ways to work out problems
Except if it becomes pointless anxiety
Wasting time and peace
And not getting anywhere any way


When Our Perspectives Combine


From one angle
Everything
May be going to hell
*
Take another
Point of view
Everything will work out fine
*
Diamonds dangle
Everyone
Has a story to tell
*
If it matters
most to you
Why not share what’s on your mind?
*
Find our hidden gems of wisdom
Take some for ourselves
Make optimism our mission
Share knowledge for our health
*
From one angle
Our life and dreams
Are like pure magic spells
*
We should never
misconstrue
*
Life has a deeper design
*
Events tangle
Everywhere
We always should feel well
*
We find ways to
Make it through
When our perspectives combine


The Day


Start the day
We are calmly waking up
Shaking off a dream
or watching it drift away
Concrete plans
that our brain is making up
Paving paths through venting steam
And walking in bright sun rays
*
Live the day
We will not get shaken up
Ways don’t get extreme
We watch that it is okay
Vital goals
That our soul has taken up
Blazing paths and gentle streams
Walking through this time and place
*
End the day
We have not forsaken love
Praise we are a team
And watch how well that we play
Solid steps
That our mind is breaking up
Raising paths on bright sunbeams
And walking in this world with grace


Crashing Down



Crashing Down

An intense touch
But not too much
Reeling with the feeling
Falling but not crashing down
*
We are fighting back the lightening
Clouds will feel
our loose grip tighten and
Crush confusion that could frighten
Instead our bond builds
With senses heightened
*
Electric connection and
Shocks still brighten
There may be loose wires
Until we splice them
*
For a clean current switching on
Then charging through
We should feel righteous
With what we do
*
Time keeps moving
forever guides us
*
An intense touch
But not too much
Leading
Never speeding
Crawling before we crash out
*
We improve when times are soothing
Days will feel
The right touch grooving and
Pushing while we feel so new then
Instead power plays
Have wisdom choosing
*
Intended connection will
Light the fuse now
There will be wild views
that we can’t lose here
*
Now a fresh start that clears the way
Feel out of sight
More than amusement
We hit new heights
*
Soon it’s bright here
Forever moves us
*
An intense touch
But not too much
Appealing
with our feeling
Calling
So we won’t be crashing down



Our Design (A Working Truth)

There are things that we don’t question.

There are things that we do question.

It is what helps define and shape our personal views and how we understand the world.

This poem just landed now.

Upbeat analytic?


Our Design (A Working Truth)

Science races
Religion braces
Those pages
take us
through many stages
We realize now
their truth
Is always fate here
It is on our minds
Nothing can break it
*
We keep pace with
Social graces
They take us
More places
Through many spaces
We realize now
Their groove
Is the main basis
To make up our minds
It is all at stake here
*
Strong as fire
And our desire
We stay closer
on the live wire
Or connected together
As we admire
Believe what makes sense
And what truly inspires
*
Talk so much
Shocking touch
Our understanding always
Comes through in the clutch
*
Science saves us
Religion saves us
Those pages
Engage us
Through many phases
We realize how
They soothe
And help improve
It is how we are made up
In body and mind
Somehow we break through
Find a working truth
For all of time
All that we know
Is on the lne
It is our design


The Experience with Everything

Pushing for a

Happy New Year!!

Resolutions :

Work, play and rest to be healthy

Do what feels good if it doesn’t cause problems

Avoid harm while working to promote good feelings

Love more
Don’t hate
Extinguish subjects that are despised by solving problems, enduring and having confidence

Choose my battles

Maintain awesome, functional, productive social networks

Share wellness

Eat as healthy as I can and still enjoy

Get exercise every day

Have good sleep, rest and break routines.

Express my creativity
🎶☮️

I wrote this for New Years. Rather all over the place, but I hope held together by themes of life, time and some natural references to the picture even?

The picture was taken in 2025.


The Experience with Everything

Yesterday
has washed up on the shore
The impression will last for so much more
Perfect symmetry with all before
and in the current or the future
repeating over and over
Different for sure
but reaching out from deep at the core
*
Shapes of life echo through the sea
Reaching out like infinity
Always staying present
with what each of us will need
The experience with everything
Feeling the entire life that we lead
*
Today
has evened up the score
Our expression will last for so much more
Subtle energy can’t be ignored
and in the moment or the hour
repeating over and over
Try to be so sure
We see the world like never before
*
Views of life reflect in our mind
with all of our days, intertwined
Always staying current
With what each of us believe
The experience with everything
Reaches the heights of life that we achieve
*
Tomorrow
*
Answers cover the floor
Our obsession will last for so much more
Fulfill prophecies
Strike a bright chord
Keeping good rhythm with pure power
Repeating over and over
One thing is for sure
We have vision
feelings
the future
To share and explore


Persevere All the Way


It can be a slippery slope
to chase the sun
Each day we follow
There is no need to run
+
We have our challenges
And our programmed events
Sometimes there are changes
that will just not relent
*
But if we take our time
And draw the line
Between what needs to happen
And some poor designs
*
We will find a sure way
to the top of the day
We see what can happen like
Bright skies through the grey
*
There will be losses in life
There will always be gains
When the sun atarts to rise
We start over again
*
It can be a slippery slope
to chase the sun
But If we hit the bottom
Time does not come undone
*
It takes care and bright hope
To win the day
We will get up to the top
With courage and patience
Persevere all the way


What We Do


Although we have been here before
This is something new
The lighting or
the fine decor here
something…
What is your point of view?
*
The true essence starts at the core
It is what runs through
it is the right thing
we need more of
Like things
That we really must do
*
We get more in touch
with our surroundings
like mountains
and valleys
Rivers and the sky too
*
Like places inside
That can either get old or stay new
It depends what we do
*
We run out the doors when
Sunshine comes into our view
**
We must know what we have in store
More of the same groove
The heights and wins
that we explore here
Good things
There is so much more to do
*
It is such a rush
With our conciousness
Like success
In living
We give up our best moves
*
Like grace that we guide
That will always be bold and stay true
It is about what we do
*
We must be a force when
All that we have is the truth


Views


Speak to me
Say something
I can’t bear the silence
Since all of the tables turned
*
We just got up
and changed places
Until we got settled again
*
You speak for me
That’s the thing
Then we speak our minds and
share more than the labels earned
*
We just spoke up
We change faces
Until we get better again
*
Perspectives shape our views
Work for much better news
Words and actions that we choose
Should come from healthy views
*
So many opinions
Then come decisions
Ler’s get back to reason again
*
So much opposition
Just to be different
We can share our beliefs till the end
*
Speak with me
Let’s say something
It is way too quiet
Think of better ways to learn
*
We could grow up
Change the pace here
And get to what matters again
*
Our focus shapes our views
Work for the helpful truth
Shape reactions
We can choose
Then flow with healthy views
*
Try to share a vision
Part of a mission
Let’s get to the real thing again
