I may be right
I may be wrong
Some folks hide in total silence
*
I have insight
I may belong
Some folks drive to feel so righteous
*
We reach more light
When we are strong
Some folks fight to avoid violence
*
We hit the heights
In many songs
Some folks might have better guidance
*
Every time that we hear the notes
Every time
we sing the words
It is something
that someone wrote
and feels good when it is heard
Our love will grow
not just for show
We give it all it’s worth
*
In sound and sight
We stay so long
Some folks strive to reach the highest
*
The world invites
Love can’t be wrong
Some folks smile and feel the finest

Open-minded
We design it
Get behind it
Right now
*
Coping fine when
Just in time and
We will find it
I vow
*
To get through no matter what
I don’t give a flying
Forward motion
We have to have devotion
to the plan and understand
We have to have the notion
*
Be more kind and
Then unwind with
Strong as steel spine here
Somehow
*
Still be kind yet
Fight and grind for
what is mine here
Stay loud
*
Keep the faith and
Be more brave with
the world we face
on-line now
*
Set the pace and
Still stay safe while
the life we make is
Wild now
*
Every night and day is
wild now
*
We will make our way here
Somehow

Closing our eyes
We control our reality
Rolling the dice
Sometimes we have to be
Resting calm
like a ticking time bomb
that has finally been deactivated
Gears winding down
peace all around
*
With a warm sunrise
we find some bright tranquility
facing the sky
sometimes we have to be
set to begin
like a cool rising wind
that has
intense impact on our day here
All we have found
is coming round
*
We will not make a mistake here
*
Or we will hit the ground
with a forceful sound
if we ever get too far down
*
but if all we need is peace
and we want to be free
sometimes we just have to believe
and what will be will be
*
There is no surprise
We each have our abilities
with dreams sky high
sometimes they have to be
as far as our brain goes
like a pent up volcano
that has exploded blasting relaxation
Our heartbeat pounds
Massive amounts
*
Of blood and life
Precious ways to survive

First, words alone can not repair the damage that was done, and continues to be inflicted on indigenous culture. I respect efforts to make a difference. and I also try to do that.

Token efforts are abundant. At least I have intentions to help, partly with words; as well I support indigenous youth in my support work position. ☮️&♥️

In some contrast, I am writing this on two planes, first from Abbotsford to Calgary and now Calgary to Waterloo.

The words were written outside of the causes mentioned, but they also apply directly, as a wish towards a daunting goal. It is not possible to just be okay, but we can work towards it. This is a wish.

“Please just be alright.”

I wrote that one line down the other day, during wishful, urgent thinking. Then I developed the poem around it.

Now a vacation of sorts; some important visits too. The poem is not specifically for this time, but I think that it can apply at any time.

Please Just Be Alright

It is a hard world
It can be so tough
to make our way
every day
Please just be alright
*
It is our life
We do what we can
to defy fate
every day
Please let’s be alright
*
Every day we rise to the challenge
We have to balance
To be alright
*
Every day we get down to business
We have to win this
daily contest
to keep us honest
Summon all of our might
We hope for a fair fight
this time
so that
it will be alright
*
Here and now
and in the future
we keep the view pure

if we know just how
to find the light
*
It is a rough time
It can be too much
Let’s have our say
Everyday
Let us make it right
*
It is a hard world
It can be so tough
to make our way
every day
Please just be alright

I have worked on this poem. It is a discussion about health and wellness. Cool enough topic?

The flow may seem unusual, just because this type of writing and my stuff in general, won’t appeal to everyone. Oh well. Another day, another poem….

This one will seem best from certain angles. Readers can be aware of context or lack of, and even look deeper into it. I recommend taking all of this with a grain of salt.

In order to appreciate this in the first place, there must be a connection in reading to acquire the suggested angles.

Here is a recent picture. There were more sunflowers, but they fell over. Claw marks would indicate that the bears played a role…. They did get most of the corn…

Still… wellness.

Our Main Drive

Hey everybody
We really have to get to
every place that we need to
*
We always
aim for the best that we can get
whether it is physical or mental
feeling good
being good
We naturally aim to find wellness
**
Hey everybody
We really have to get to
every place that time leads to
*
Time always
aims for whatever comes up next
however it is predicted or depicted
to feel good
or be good
We may have to live with contradiction
**
Sometimes I can get so sick and tired
of needless attacks on my peace
but I know that it is the feeling itself
that could be helpful
to just release
*
If I can endure
tough times will be cured
accepting the challenges
and unpleasant feelings
until we get
over them, past them
and through with them
then we can find healing
Our days become more appealing
Sometimes I can’t believe this is real but
I do realize that we are naturally wired
to handle our world
*
When I am inspired
I am sometimes just wishing
that more people would listen
*
We are never done
We are on the run
making choices with voices
that we wish had always existed
We work to be understood
as we should
It is good
when we don’t feel so conflicted
*
I have so much to say
divulging information
details and knowledge
to challenge social norms
in the unfair situations
like each wealthy college
should prove balance over storms
keep more people safe and warm
when
more inclusive plans have been formed
**
Hey everybody
We really have to get to
every place that we need to
*
We always
aim for the best that we can get
whatever is essential or crucial
to feel good
and be good
We aim for our wants and needs
Our main drive
is most clearly for wellness
*
Our main drive
guides everything that we do
We just want to feel good
It is all good
Find more success achieving together

Now located on a street far away
driving to get everywhere
*
From the driver’s seat
We can see the future
*
The past is in the rear view mirror
*
We see many different scenes
from the passenger window
*
There is an entire world
in each second
and every minute
*
In each pocket of time
we can find a totally new view
Such vast meaning can be found
in these small segments of life
*
One day
splash through puddles on the road
The very next
the sun creates
a wavy mirage
above the pavement on the hill
*
Warmth is expressed in colours
At night we have street lights
Around the clock we flourish
We love to travel
Love to chill
It is normal to progress through colours in our vision
Through yards and trees
we see the green
From green to yellow
Caution is free
Orange and red
Stops us ahead
past the day the sun shies away
Blue turns to
Purple and then to black
The moon and the stars
will guide us back
where each day
takes us far
The lights on the road
above and of cars
*
Destinations like tomorrow
and within the next hours
Traffic flows with a purpose
Each vehicle has their own cause
Together alive
Our breath shows up as steam on the glass that we are looking through
*
Our world is now
Our world is here
Out world is sometimes
situated in a dangerous place
*
We are obligated to engage in this space
and to
concentrate on keeping up with the pace
We try to
articulate feelings in a very clear way
Do all that we can do
to create a better day
*
Rocks on the road
launch at the windshield
right in front of our face
From the tires
of the truck that is directly ahead
*
it seems that
the road has a taste
*
We will never eat it
but we have to free it
And search the glass
for a chip or a crack
*
Surely we know
each driver’s case
When they need never look back
They may not know their effect
It is not their fault
That’s a fact
It’s the conditions
the environment
Now we look through
and hope for no more attacks
There is no damage to view
*
Safe and sound
coming around
if we are lucky
and cruise through fine
Stand up for what we believe
Use our brains
and have a spine
*
I am so easy-going
Unless emotions are
overflowing

The designs of this
are as fine as this
I will try for this
So divine it is
*
We have one life
One Earth
One universe
We have to fight
for our rights
and then fight to be cured
of the condition
of limited resources
and consider our own worth
When we perceive that we are together
It puts each one of us first
*
We have one mind
One world
One dream dispersed
We have to find
the new light
and then find causes pure
with our persistence
with efforts of our forces
to realize war is worse
Understanding that being together
should surely not be a curse
*
We can figure out ways to work things out
Make plans to share life better
When we take responsibility
for our connection
We make the best plans ever
*
There is still trouble
We can escape it
Or overcome it
It rolls in like stormy weather
We stay aware of it
and prepare for it
It all happens now or never
*
We have one time
One turn
One chance from birth
We have to strive
Make things right
and strive to be so sure
with shared perfection
when we are all supported
conditions may be adverse
but then it all starts coming together
and in success we are immersed

I will think only good thoughts
Effective immediately
I will not worry about
what I can not control
I will give it my best shot
correct the path repeatedly
until I have not one doubt
and confidence takes hold
*
I will take only good actions
Objective achievements
I will not hurry around
I just get on a roll
I will get better traction
Collective believing
So thrilled with what we have found
Now we all share one goal
**
We will create only good thoughts
Effective immediately
We can not worry about
Having total control
We will be in the best spot
Expect nothing completely free
We still learn much more about
How every day unfolds
*
We will condone only good actions
Objective achievements
We will not hurry the crowd
Success is young or old
Our mistakes are a fraction
Select kind beliefs now
Until reason becomes loud
Intentions good as gold
*
Good thoughts and good actions
lead to confidence and results
As our goals unfold
with decisions that we make
As our soul grows old
with the lessons that we take
We start to have a sense of
when it is safe to vent
to help others learn
what our experience has meant
It is not always all our fault
for forced mistakes
for what we think or do
but when we focus on plans
to have better days
It helps to get us through
*
Good thoughts and good actions
and consideration for results
Some goals can’t be sold
And are impossible to fake
Some souls are so bold
and do it all for goodness sake
It seems, they have a sense of
when time is better spent
to help themselves earn
more experience as a friend
It doesn’t always come to a halt
or have such high stakes
for what we think or do
but when we all take a stand
to have better ways
It helps to get us through

It feels like it is going to rain
but it doesn’t rain
There has to be a good reason
to want to complain oh yes
The ground is thirsty
for it’s bountiful harvest
We are on the level
We are on target
There is no exclusion
to what we’ve known hardly
I just started helping out
in the garden
and then it rained
*
And I feel the rain
I have felt the rain
Did you feel the rain
take away the pain?
Let it rain
Let it rain
*
It feels like the sun is gong to shine
and then it shines
Now forever has me thinking
and it blows my mind, oh my
A student gets back
from teacher, a gold-star test
We are on the level
The sun sets in the West
We reach a conclusion
to what we’ve known hardly
Still sunlight continues
to grow the garden
and we need rain
*
And I know the rain
I have met the rain
Did you feel the rain
make you more sane?
Let it rain
Let it rain
*
Let it shine
So we are fine
until we feel alright
and can’t complain
*
Let it shine today
The sun
high up in the sky
at least most of the time
And then tomorrow rain
Tomorrow, rain
*
It sometimes feels like it will never rain
Then it starts to rain
There has to be a good reason
to always explain oh yah
Right now is hungry
and the time that we start best
We are on the level
We care for the rest
We find the solution
to what we’ve known hardly
The rain and sun are keys to the garden
*
Tomorrow
We are hoping for
more sun again
Not everyone would like exactly the same
but no doubt
when there is a drought
All of us
are holding out
We all start praying
for tomorrow rain
Let it rain
Let it rain
Tomorrow, rain

We achieve our dreams in moments
Live our days
in the quickest
blink of open eyes
Our time is constantly changing
Effort pays
Perfect timing helps out to get us by
*
We are here then gone in moments
Our best days
are a wicked
storm until we die
Our time is constantly raging
Good luck paid
with a rainy spell
Now it’s warm and dry
*
Take in the moment
Give out good vibes
We only slow down
For peace in life
Like a river’s current
we are all enduring
We get faster yet stay calm
In this way nothing goes wrong
For all of our life
*
We can’t feel bad for too long
We find a change in the weather
Our days can always get better
*
We perceive beliefs in moments
Shape our days
The real trick is
knowing what is wise
Our time is constantly wasting
Patience pays
We should not rush health
but still act fast and try
