Is This Normal?


While it is fresh in my mind
I will say these things here
The details seem so clear right now
*
What happens, happens
Then I am in disbelief
I have seen all of these things here
Right now I am still processing
**
While it is still on my mind
Many new things appear
These emails seem so weird right now
*
What happened, happened
It must be such a relief
To just move on from these things here
Right now I am still focussing
**
With knowledge just forming
They say, “It is normal”
I say
“It’s time to question what you call normal”
*
While their opinion sinks like a stone
After it has been so quickly thrown
Now our new thoughts all start swarming
**
With consciences dormant
They say “This is normal”
I say
“Let’s try to find a new view of normal”
*
It’s like trying to draw blood from a stone
Old ideas reach down to the bone
Now the whole wide world is stormy
**
While it is all in my mind
I eliminate fear
Thoughts prevail that are here right now
*
It happens
Happens, that we will learn to achieve
To fully deal with these things here
Right now kindness has potency
**
With consciences warming
They say, “Is this normal?”
I say
“This is better than what once was normal”


Current Demands


Motivated towards the future
A steady balance of push and pull
We have what we have
build on confidence and good luck
to best manage a life that is full
*
Full of responsibilities and challenges
Full of such drama and good living
These moments in our life
very rarely will ever seem dull
*
Sometimes we are tempted
to either rush
or delay our actions
Then can put ourselves undeniably
into a certain hell
*
We get back to our zone
When the light is shown
Get back to the clear view
that we are made of stone
*
We see an obstacle in tomorrow
A problem that has to be solved
Sometimes we
should not tackle these things yet
When today should not be involved
*
Don’t stress and worry
or rush and hurry
Be calm, strong and smart
Productivity is the best
Take care of the moment right now
And then we can consider the rest
*
The future demands
We work today to answer
**
Motivated towards the moment
The current balance is such a thrill
We can smile and laugh
build experience and more love
with passion, stand for life and good will
*
All of the meaningful days
weeks and calendars
All of the structures that we can think of
Elements of life
fair and square
Each decision is your call
*
Sometimes we are tempted
to just lose touch
or weaken our actions
Then can put ourselves unquestionably
into a fast free fall
*
We get into the zone
Day and night are known
We are sure of the view
We are flesh and bone
*
We see an achievement in tomorrow
A reward as Earth has revolved
Sometimes we can not attain these things yet
Focus on now and
problem solved
*
No stress and worry
or rush and hurry
Keep strong, calm and smart
Co-operation is the best
Take care of the moment right now
And then we can consider the rest
*
The current demands
We will naturally answer


Let Us Make It Through


Let us make it through
With all that we do
There is something new
Every one is getting down to it right now
*
Careful what you are doing
Try to think it through
If there is something true here
Keep it within view
*
The answers to our wishes
Can change and improve
When there is something true here
There is more of me and you
*
I am hoping
It is showing
I am knowing that we are one
Growing in the cold rain
And glowing in the sun
*
Let us make it through
With all that we do
This is something new
We should be getting down to it right now
*
Careful what you are doing
Try to think it through
If there is something true here
It should always shape our view
*
The answers to all of our needs
We have to work and move
When there is something true here
We must find ways to get it through
*
I am fine when
We design it
I am finding that we are one
Alive in the cold rain
and divine in the sun


Just As It Does


Is it a fair equation?
I say “yes” without hesitation
Life has to happen
just as it does
But wait, look at this situation
Some are in misery
or fretting and pacing
while others have it so plush
*
We want a free nation
For the best
without complication
Life will still happen
Just as it does
Now wait, see so many situations
Life is so different
Some choices are waiting
Decisions come from above
*
We hope that they are in touch
*
Signal your virtues
Don’t make them up
If we say that we want more
We should talk about love
*
Love of life
And what feels right
Like winning and living while caring
Love of every creature that feels
Everyone that appeals
to a world that is giving and sharing
*
I have no reservation
I will say these same words
on any occasion
Life always happens
Just as it does
Hey wait, what about this situation?
We are all existing
Just working and playing
We should always get enough


Reassuring


No soul gets forgotten on this journey
Our role still
more often is way too hurried
Some goals are store-boughten
as we are learning
but we never get lost
if our souls are burning
*
When it gets too dark
and the stars
are more than I can handle
I search the whole sky
for reasons why
Life seems to be so planned out
*
Sometimes all alone, I light a candle
I see the face
appreciate the angles
I can not lie
we won’t die
when our images stand out
and we can find peace at the very least
when our light has spanned out
when we reach our hand out
*
Knuckle bump
Hand shake or a hug
The ones we love most
Can be held so close
*
Warmth as we share the flames
Sharing emotions
Connecting to names
Like streams and rivers
Of light that we claim
We never fade
We always remain
*
No soul will get caught
on troubles or worries
Our whole deal, is not for chaos
but for pure peace
Some goals are a lot
while the wheels are turning
We will never get lost
Our soul is
reassuring


Being Objective


Reaching for some understanding
Trying to take an objective view
Won’t be fooled by careless branding
Or labels that mislead me and you
*
Sometimes these things do take planning
and labels can be absolutely true
It all comes down to how it is landing
Like what just happened and what is new
*
That person is a champion
unlike those that
sit back and take advantage of others
Just because they can
*
A true success
encourages winning
Right from the beginning
Take what we need
but also be giving
Start out by working to understand
*
Our world is always expanding
We change the outcome with what we do
The world can be so demanding
Being objective can help us get through


Music Goes Far


Total motivation
Easy inspiration
The music that I know
a song that I love
transports me
with great speed
to a better moment
a better mood
It makes my attitude
and creates a world protected on all sides
*
Music takes me far
Cruising in my car
At a party
at a good friends
at home
in the zone
making some moves
that no one has known
*
All around we feel the sounds
on our stereo, on our phone
Each note that we hear
has immaculate tone
*
We feel the energy
Right down to our bones

**
Absolute elevation
Dynamite sensations
New music starts to grow into
a song that I love
takes hold of me
with true peace
for a better moment
a better groove
Wild fun
our pleasure due
that awaits in worlds expected in this life
*
Music takes us far
Proving we are stars
Add to cart beats
the new play extends
all pro
in the zone
safe and sound
in a world of our own
*
All around we feel the sounds
whether at the show or on the go
We hone the feel
the impact smooth as stone
*
We feel the energy
We are never alone


I Do It for Love


I have said too much
Or not enough
I make a big deal
I do it for love
*
Love of life
Love of the game
Love of the new day
It is never the same
*
Then I think out loud
And with no doubt
It is more than a feeling
I may have to shout
**
I do way too much
Or not enough
I just keep life real
I do it for love
*
Love of time
Love with a name
I love you always
It is never the same
*
I have thought it out
and with no doubt
It is more than a feeling
what I am talking about
*
Love of life
Love in mind
Love is fine
when it is savoured
Love is new
Love the view
My love of you
Our time and space here
**
Love the night
Love all of the day
I love you true
right now and always
Now watch what I do
And how the meaning all stays
*
I have said so much
Is it enough?
This is how I appeal
I do it for love


Angles to Our Love 🇨🇦

Happy Canada Day! 🇨🇦

Yes the picture is a bit scary/beautiful but the colours are fitting and it is Canada. Shuswap Lake. ♥️. Taken a few years ago.

Praying that the fires are not as bad this year and that we make progress to control them all around. We have to do the best we can in our world for our world. That is all I will say.

I continue to write poems. This one is about where I grew up in this world.

I am on holidays for over a week starting today! Busy plans and relax time too.

I worked hard for this time. 40+ hours per week in a demanding job.

Thankful for what I have. I hope that we can all share good times together. We have to do that for ourselves too.

Angles to Our Love 🇨🇦

Our country
Our home
Another heartfelt poem
There are many angles to our love
Our heart and our soul
Our dreams and our goals
Our life is perfect
aside from
nightmares and mistakes
Sometimes perfection takes a break
*
Not for long in my experience
when we fight to feel the flow
and conquer the tough angles
with all the good that we know
*
Some views will devastate
For some people it is too late
We pray for today
and that we all find our way
to the good times
past the hard times
when we climb to the tops of mountains
when we can curl up in our beds
and get enough downtime
Wake up and celebrate together
not have to worry about the weather
for a week or two
A month and season we get through
*
More years
to find peace with the Earth
In our country in our world
In our city in our home
In our mind
with our soul
and our goals
and our family and our friends
Balance resources
from the beginning to the end
Then find our love start again
*
Everywhere
Here
With no doubt
In houses
apartments and high rises
the home where we live our precious life here
near rivers and lakes
oceans and beaches
fields and streets
the ground beneath us
the sky above, buildings and trees
what we get through together
so we can be free


Help the Truth Always



What were you going to say?
*
It’s okay now any way
^
No really what is it?
*
I was just going to say…
*
We can make our way
If we seize the day
Everywhere that we go
We can go with the flow
Or we can stand up high
And then dig down low
It is all about
where you go and who you know
A good reason why
always goes to show
When we are devoted
It is how we grow
If what we are after
Starts to come close
Then we can reach our goals
like total pros
*
Is that all that you have to say?
*
Does it matter any way?
*
No really, is there more?
*
I say this almost every day
*
We can have our way
But we have to get paid
Everything that we do
Gets us through when we’re true
Or we may fall for lies
and form twisted views
It is all about
Where we get through
and who gives clues
A good reason why
always keeps peace new
When we are approved
It is how we move
If what we are after
Is next in queue
Then stay patient for truth with no excuse
*
I’m at the same place that I was before
I open the door and need much more
Okay now
What do you want to say?
*
When we try to be better
*
We improve the whole day
*
All of us together
*
Can work to make it this way
*
Follow good intentions
*
And help the truth always
