Mind-boggling to think
what is happening at this moment
Anywhere
Over there
Or over here
and now
*
Like changing the channels on the TV
Change the feed
And dial into what we want
Give us reality
It is hard to believe
the other stuff that is going on
While we have our own times
We focus on our lives
Amazing to see
what is happening
right now
**
We observe and interact
We give out and then want back
Some people repel
Some people attract
We are all here together
We each have to
manage the facts
**
So triggering to think
What is happening at this moment
Anywhere
Maybe over there
Or over here
Right now
*
Like staging all of the most intense scenes
Take the lead
Some style gets you what you want
Make our reality
It is quite plain to see
The other stuff that is going on
While we have our own times
Focus on all of our lives
There can really be
better days happening
somehow
*
We have heard and seen impact
Check it out and then react
Some people help more
Some people give back
We are all here together
We need effort
to get on track

My focus is pulled in many directions
Somehow enduring
as it stretches and reaches
*
Our perspective guides us
It is expanding with every second until
*
Now I am starting to see the big picture
*
I would say that I am more than half way there
In any case:
All the way to today
From this angle
*
I feel the same
As any other day
Or maybe even better
More sure today
And I feel best
when I just get something done
And make it further towards my goals
like maintaining a good quality of life
*
We strive for rewards
like joy, pleasure and comfort
We are
so driven to want these elements of life
Amid the other less desirable moments
*
In some situations it is difficult
to know how to succeed
But through consideration
of the world around us
and with the strength
Luck or whatever it takes
to feel what we need
Good emotion can come rushing in
*
with a certain understanding
that we develop with planning
by living the experience
and remembering
that our focus guides us
*
Then, what we pay attention to
What we perceive
What we want to achieve
And what we imagine
Sometimes our own impact
(Or someone else’s planning
Or the world and nature,
Or the system that we work within)
gives us a certain stability
Where we can balance for as long
As this time, this situation and mood
exist
This is perpetuated by practical measures
Including effort, our dedication
and the events around us
*
We can try to all get along
Like no one is wrong
If no one is too demanding
And no one is too underhanded
Then we can share more understanding
and hey
We can get along
*
Our time and resources
with metamorphosis
Become a dream that will fly
Everyone or just you and I
Any one of us
At any time
When we have found peace for ourselves
When we have better health
*
It should not seem strange
That we go through such change
Every day
Maybe all of the time
From being grounded to flying
From planning to action
Hard work defining
How we succeed in the world, crawling
We bring ourselves through
When we graduate to the next level
And invent something that takes us
Good places
Living in ways
Where every minute is productive
at least in the sense
that we are contributing to the value of life
by having good experiences
And we make it happen
With our ability to determine our focus
and in how we react to our world
As driven within our own consciousness

Picture? This is a night-time view, changing focus, of the moon and a star or planet?

---

Our vision depends
on our environment
And what is inside of
Our mind at the time
*
Precision with care
should make it fine to vent
And that is in light of
Fire
that we can’t hide
*
Our passion
We have some
All of the time
It just shows up different
When we compete
Compared to when we are just being kind
And then when we lay it all on the line
*
Take the whole situation
All of the feeling beings
into account
To some amount
The sight and sound
That is coming around
*
Decision to work
And how our time is spent
We can make it right and
Win the fight for our life
*
Our mission
We have one
All of the time
It just shows up different
When we believe
Including everything that is on our mind
Improving many things with a good design

I should really stay in the moment
Much more often
It is kind of nice here
right now
We avoid anxiety
And grandiosity
Rushing situations just seem like a loss to me
*
I should really stay in the moment more often
*
Make peace with myself
Not dying for wealth
Not chasing perfection
It has already found us
In the middle of chaos
Find calm truth all around us
Break free
from chains that have bound us
*
We should really stay in the moment
Much more often
It feels so divine here
right now
We take joy deciding things
I am the boss of me
Rushing and haste
are unacceptable costs to me
*
We should really stay in the moment more often
*
Find peace for ourselves
Keep trying for health
A calm pace has protection
With kind truths to ground us
If in the heart, life pays off
Better news will surround us
Make peace
And good days have found us
*
We should really
stay in the moment more often

Now a sudden change
In the day
And in our mood
In our understanding
*
Wicked flood so strange
At this time
Out of the blue
Hard to comprehend it
*
Thoughts with good range
All the while
Something to prove
We don’t have to pretend here
*
In reacting to some massive waves
Far more intense
Than what they might think
It is common sense
that we have to be smart
So strong and brave, we can’t be tense
Or.we just might sink
*
It all depends
On how calm we are
Our days become art
When calm thoughts save time
And we are grounded
Feeling sights and sounds
Of the waves, the shore, the mountains
We have years to reach the sky
We dig, we groove, we climb
**
The dream will remain

Some we can’t explain
Those moments
are over the moon
And we all have transcended
*
Just the right amount
Stars so brave become just countless
We have cleared our dreams to fly
We dig, we groove, we climb

Sunday…

Thinking of the solar system.

The universe. The galaxies and the Earth.

lol. But in a way, it is just about all possible futures and we will always be here.

Our identity can be seen as multi-faceted or one dimensional. It depends on perspective. Enough positive energy, optimism, and teamwork, as a social being, and we will achieve our collective goals, in my opinion, even if we have to redefine our goals, but always with rewarding results. Just being our best selves.

Who We Are (We Never Leave This Place)

Hey there
We will be okay
We each have to face the day
With our own kind of style and grace
To get very far
We are who we are
We will not feel out of place
Together our hearts blaze
*
With everything going on
We just need to keep pace
**
Today, we will pave the way
To make a much better space
With every one following
We love this place
*
We make our play
Each and every day
For smiles and praise
We do what we do
We should all get a raise
*
With what we have going on
We can all make a case
**
Today we will have our say
Our shared moments will amaze
With our energy flowing
Connections stay
We find bright ways
To help this place
*
Hey there
We will be okay
We always can face the day
To achieve the goals that we chase
We all chase the stars
Get far who we are
On Earth or in outer space
We never leave this place

A new challenge emerges
We won’t get discouraged
We have always flourished
And we will rise again
*
Maybe in another life
Maybe this one right now
Rain will fall
On hot ashes
Water washes
Red embers stay somehow
**
A new battle rages
The war that one wages
We can’t turn the pages
Until we learn again
*
Words only burn in our mind
They form visions and shout
Flames change when
Thunder smashes
A wave crashes
Meaning lasts without doubt
**
A new storm converges
Rain or fire surges
We stand strong with courage
Then we are safe again
*
And feel comfort in our lives
Must be this one right now
We stay strong
Lightening flashes
Our sense clashes
Shocking seems normal now
**
A new view immerses
The plain truth submerges
In the middle verses
We connect well again
*
If it is all in our mind
We can help dreams get loud
Hear fair fights
Cool wind lashes
Success splashes
When we work it all out

Grateful for the scene
There are so many places
And the spaces in between
Are important to keep pace with
In travel
And just existence
No matter what the case is
*
We each have a soul
It fills up our mind
It moves with our body
Breathes life by design
^
Beyond first impression
A treasure that we find
It controls all of our senses
And awareness of time
^
We all have a face
Hopefully a smile
We have promises that bind
We are stronger all the while
Ties represent the base
Of all conscious kind
The things we can’t replace
Soul, body and mind
^
And beyond that, specifics
We could all feel terrific
With much better timing
Some times are exquisite
We all have to guess
Perception is infinite
We perceive the best
It is intrinsic
And intuitive
If we can live
in that time
With the focus of our mind
Our understanding
In the mood
Whether feeling mystic or realistic
However it is viewed
Less troubles can intrude
With a thoughtful attitude

I came up with this idea for a poem. If we have more control of our thoughts, we could just feel calm and content, and get past stressful thoughts or anxiety.

If we stop to think about it, it is within our reach…

Clear Thoughts

Why can’t I just think what I want to think?

I want to stay calm and strong

All of the day long

How can I program my mind

To always feel fine

All of the time?

*

How can I just say what I want to say?

I want to go on and on

I want to belong

I should prove that I am kind

It is my design

All of the time

*

When we work together for the same cause

We get much further

When we press play not pause

*

Rock out the system

Get past any flaws

We work to live well

There is no more to tell

*

Why can’t I just be what I want to be?

I do not want to be wrong

Just want to get along

Can you just give me a sign?

To say we are fine

At any time

*

Why can’t I just do what I want to do?

I just want to play a song

All the day long

Major impact
I hope that they have our back
When you get right down to it
We get back on track
*
We get off the ground
We are not messing around
When we step right up
Our courage is found
*
Intense impact
They should see that that’s a fact
It is the sheer amount of it
We really are stacked
*
We share a massive effort
Blood, sweat and tears
Every one of us
that goes through these gears
*
Low speed for some stages
High speed for more
Turning those corners like never before
*
A hard crash at the end of the day
But only in a recharging way
Until we do it again
Fill it right up
Explode
In pure combustion
Until we all get enough
*
Fastest impact
How we will always react
We have learned to count on it
Our hard work attack
*
For dollars we pound
Comfort is the true amount
What we all need here
More caring resounds
