We go through our days

Like we go through our wardrobe 

*

Neatly stacked in dresser drawers

Folded clothes

or hanging in the closet

*

Now they are laid out

*

Then wearing them for a while

Confident or confined

*

Dropping into the laundry 

Rinse and repeat until it’s finished

*

Some days I like better

And some I love more

Others don’t suit me at all

*

If I need another, I go to the shopping mall

The threads of my dreams

And also nightmares 

*

Always in some way, they protect me

Communicate to others

And keep me warm

*

Some hours I wear over and over

Through thick and thin

Through the best times 

Until somehow

in some way

they begin again

Recycled with no question 

Our styles make their impression

***

Random chaos

Or a fine-tuned

situation

Adept after

anxiety

helps me adapt to

Some mixed up signals

Distraught or elated

On top after

We find ways to

get back on track

*

Daily challenge 

In this fine-tuned

situation

Adept after

attitude

helps me adapt

Sending clear signals more

Focused not fixated

On top after

We find ways to

Agree on the fact

*

Thinking out loud

In a stream or a cloud

Trying to get through the crowd

Share hope not doubt

When those views are allowed

We act humble but feel proud

Whisper first & then shout

We can save the day

It will be okay

When we face the day

It will all work out

One way or another

*

We work to live

In a fine-tuned

situation

Adept when our

agility

helps us adapt 

They send tangled signals

Don’t be agitated

On top after

We find ways to

Fend off the attack

*

We can save the day

It will be okay

When we face the day

It will all work out

Often for the better

***

Living a full life

With a sense of independence

Sometimes we have

no thought of what got us here

Because we feel entitled

to our own world

*

Achieving a full life

We need to find pure gratitude 

Sometimes we do

In this intense life cycle

Because we invite it all

into this world

*

The wind finds channels to peace

With the work of all of us

I learn of those that sacrificed it all for us

And why

their lead must not be forgotten

So we can respect today

A way forward for freedom

and better quality of life

that we have ahead

And how it is on us

to never forget

*

Find peace

Respect peace

Have gratitude

Live well

***

Exercise attitude

Realize that you will get through with it

Work

to establish

a better balance

with everything around us

Recognize benefit

See all the sides to find the truth of it

Work

to understand

and always balance

With all we have around us

so we can improve our life

And maintain it

Choose our goal

And attain it

As we confidently walk down a pathway

And choose our destination

We may always have the last say

With optimistic concentration 

And adapting to the meaning

No matter what happens

Stay strong, never wrong

Aim to be fair and never sad then

By taking care

Not getting mad and

By being aware

Work to be glad and self-assured 

Energize every mood

Empathize to share a better view of it

Work

to encourage 

a better balance

with everyone around us

With everything around us

Work to find the best attitude

And realize what we can do with it

Work

To develop

A better balance

With the world that is around us

And within our minds

And without denial

The new time that has found us

***

On the edge of

The city

Agriculture

Fields in constant transition

*

Beyond

The climbing forest

Snow 

Like froth on a wave

An icy crust rises to the top

Crashing with the wind

Building higher over thousand of years

*

Proud and wise

Dormant now

With greatest influence

from a thoughtful vision

That holds us together

A promised balance

*

The steady peak of a volcano

Can forever be

A towering mountain

Head above the sea

Watching the land

Beyond borders

A welcome sight

*

With internal peace

Each of us can find in ourselves

When we are reassured by the strength

and beauty of the world

And the volatile guts at our core

Burn evenly

Like fuel in a fine-tuned engine

Moving us forward in time

*

Internal energy stable and synchronized

Working to keep progress calm

Without chaotic fury

That would spill over

And destroy our peace

*

Today

We are privileged

Those of us

that observe a settled world around us

Family trees living naturally

Skies not torn by war

Fair balances between what we reap

consume and distribute 

Business hard at work to produce

A better view for more of us

All of us

Near or far

On our Earth

***

Hiding until the future

Tomorrow waits in secret

Forget the overbearing past

If we can make sense of the present

With only what we have

No burden of stale practices

No misguided expectations 

Just present day drives

*

Of course

there is no denying what we are made of

Our history remains

Extract the winning points 

*

No matter what

Put the future together

with a clear mind and a kind heart

With strong determination and soul

There are many different ways

To do our best

And make it work for more of us

*

The world starts

with our personal perspective

Always

***

Make decisions in the day

Think clearly in every way

Great idea

But not for some

Think again

Who is number one?

*

Any given time and 

Any given location

We deal with life as best we can

In any given situation

*

Progress in a thought

In an instant we are caught

For a moment of indecision

Now we have a better vision

**

Take action every day

Stay strong in our own way

Great idea

Good news will come

Stay sure?

Keen optimism 

*

Any given time and 

Any given location

We deal with life as best we can

in any given situation

*

Progress from an action

In an instant we gain traction

In moments of apprehension 

Find our way past all the tension

Understanding

Then landing

Like the future

We are so sure

Our confidence has

strong comprehension

hard work and good luck

I certainly have to mention

***

The situation is only one

of an infinite variety

Much of what we perceive

Naturally comes through the light

in and out of focus

Until crystal clear

The truth of the matter

is in so many deep contexts

Rivers

Lead to oceans in our thoughts

Every angle sinks

and has a bottom

Earth

Going down to the core

Or reaching out to the horizon

Sandy beach, a trail to the street

Fields and yards

Buildings and mountains

Trees reaching up to the sky and clouds

Glowing in our eyes

The sun with infinite contexts

And reflected by the moon at night

A more temperamental presence

With possibilities right next to unlimited

Only lack of vision

Or shallow perceptions

Will slow our ability to absorb reality

We make pathways into the light

To ground our beliefs

And secure our future

***

Tension in the air

Mild but palpable 

We can not follow all

of each other’s

underlying perspectives

Break the silence

Connect

*

It is best to live

To want it all

To have it all

To be selective

Our world

makes new suggestions

Protect those that feel 

By being fair

And being real

Manage risk

Reach out to be objective

**

Apprehension in the air

Futile but practical

We help to slow it down

Think of others’

underlying perspectives

Break the silence

Accept

*

It is best to give

To want it all

To have it all

To be reflective

Sometimes our world

makes few suggestions

Protect how you feel 

By being fair

And being real

Manage resources

Reach out to be objective

**

Notice the differences

Adapt to the change

Welcome good friends

Accept a range

*

Accept less or more

After and before

Go with the flow

Until we know

What is for show

High or low

And what is a person’s intention

From every distinct dimension

That we can find to be fair

Stay real and take care

***

When can

we break today’s story?

Plain to see

It is

hard core here

Some things just won’t change

We live on this wild range

Life is Definitely never boring

Can I continue

To tell some more Please?

*

I ran down the line

It was an intense gauntlet

The start was just fine

The drama was unwanted

*

Curious stages

I know that I seemed haunted

Furious pages

I carry on undaunted

*

More than fair answers

I have given

For all the reasons I am driven

I walk with an understanding

Spirits do the planning

**

Please don’t overtake

and ignore me

We have another

breaking story

The more life changes

The more it stays the same

Do you want me grounded?

This is flooring 

Can you all

try to believe 

much more Please?

*

I ran down the time

It was an immense mountain 

The end was just fine

Experiences counting

*

Curious ranges

I know I may be rounding

Furious changes

At least that’s how it’s sounding

*

More than fair answers

We are given

For all the reasons we are driven

We walk with an understanding

Spirits do the planning

**

Every step of the way

Our words are at play

Our beliefs

our actions

And angles

Greater sense sees it all

While we make a call

On the transcendental

With which

Each day

Is eloquentlly

thoroughly

entangled
