It is about
how we look at things sometimes, whether we are thriving or coping (or both).

Life Naturally Occurring

We aim to be thriving
Now we are coping
*
It can all depend on
How we handle the pressure
*
We could have not that much
But still be in touch
It is all about how we keep it together
*
What do we have to do
to prove ourselves?
*
Prove what we say
And stay more trustworthy
*
What do we have to do
To share the wealth?
Win some for ourselves
with no worries?
**
We aim to keep striving
Like we are chosen
*
It can all depend on
How we have learned to measure
*
We could have not that much
and be more in touch
It is more about how we all stay together
*
What do we have to do
to prove ourselves?
*
Prove what we say
And think otherworldly
*
What do we have to do
To share more health?
Find more for ourselves?
*
Just don’t hurry
*
We aim for survival
Together flowing
*
Life naturally occurring

Can we plan for the moment?
It can be more rewarding
When we get people into it
With different views
You might be astounded
When it is warm
While it is cold outside
Realizing that this is our life
We should make a move for it
*
Can we harvest the moment?
Would it be more meaningful
If we got deeper into it
Digging in our roots
Becoming more grounded
Then spreading our arms
to reach to the sky
And finding the day is full of life
We should make good use of it
*
Can we savour the moment?
Would it be more enduring
If we got sweetness into it?
And flavours that soothe
For taste, hearts have pounded
All of that charm
makes experience fine
So we survive with a better life
And still pay our dues for it
*
Can we choose every moment?
It can be much easier
When we get teamwork into it
Aware of the news
Benefit resounding
Avoiding any harm
Feeling alright
We can design the best path for life
A map with truth in it
*
Thoughts, ideas
Religion and science
Business, politics
The media source
*
Family and friends
Love and common sense
Lose our enemies
Gain an alliance
*
Each moment arrives and changes quickly
*
from the past
to the current
to the next
*
With experience we build a future
If we learn to get through every test

Just a little poem about world peace ☮️ .

Meaningful or nonsense? 🎅🏻

Without the Clash

Are we on the same wave length?
I try to relate to everyone
And anyone
If it is safe
If there is a helpful connection
If it seems worthwhile
*
Are we on the same wavelength?
I try to reach out to everyone
And anyone
Sometimes it is impossible
Sometimes we clash
*
When we clash
They may want to smash us all
And sometimes we bash them
*
Sometimes when we connect
We build and accomplish things
When we are on the sane wavelength
We try to react to everyone
In that way we respect everyone
And anyone
Despite the clash
*
If we clash
They may want to lash out
And sometimes we smash them
*
But we must be careful
If we still can salvage things
When we get on the same wavelength
When we can acknowledge everyone
In someway we help out everyone
And anyone
Without the clash

This is maybe interesting ?

Work to love the show? We work so that hopefully we can enjoy ourselves.

We work for favourite places and people.

When our social world and our environment is responding well, we also often feel well.

If we can be independent and still appreciate our social world and environment, that is a good situation too.

Just some thoughts…

Love the Show

Imagine arriving at a favourite place
Breathing it in
Joy
In the new look on our face
*
There could be fun
and warm sun
and the comfort that we chase
But it can be much more about
who is here at this place
*
The life that we love most
We want close
We work to keep pace
With what we know
And steady flow
We find social grace
*
Places and faces
We work to love the show
*
Be strong and so alive
at each new time and place
Breathing it in
Calm
Mood reflecting im our face
*
The feelings that we have
Should make us smile and laugh
Or warmly glow
With all that we know
Life happens fast
*
The life that we love most
We want close
We work for the chase
For life to know
And steady flow
We find social grace
*
Places and faces
We start to love the show

This was revised. It is not aimed to be too rough or grim, despite the reference to birds of prey. 🦅. It is also about just using words with impact for visualisation.….

I am working on it. ☮️

A Foregone Conclusion

Assumption
Illusion
A foregone conclusion
Ripping through the day
*
Welcome programmed living
It is usually pay to play
Our diet of
new media and life
sometimes seems okay
But it does have a price
*
Learning better choices
Is learning to be wise
Finding our own voices
we need them to survive
Our awareness has to stay
*
Memories come from before
Understanding grows with praise
In current times we want more
There is always a way
*
Savour the taste of the moment
Take a fresh breath with the wind
Intricate visions of the future
Cool sounds for all of time
*
We need to feel much more
And know more in our mind
Make our choice to be
In front of a screen
Or on the scene
Like walking down a path in time
*
Bright green ferns
and fields of thick moss
Cover the living, outdoor floor
Fingers of branches
arms criss-cross
Life stretches out far
from our core
*
Trunks of trees rise so high
Branches reach out to hold the sky
Evergreens, cedar, spruce and pine
Like a dream
Patterns sway and wind
*
Bright leaves twist in the season’s breeze
There is life within the forest
We can hear a chorus
Musical keys to melodies
*
Birds make music
As do artists
We have
Videos and speakers pounding
Cameos of creatures counting
*
Climbing higher or digging down deeper
We are inspired and soaring regal
Heart beat steady of a
A flying eagle
A battle cry
And we reach out

Diving down with pinpoint accuracy
Then from ground to sky
We have no doubt
not much as we hold on tight to our life
*
We watch our days unfold
We let them take firm hold
Or change the channel
Or app or site
All depending on our appetite
And things that we are sold
*
We must be bold
*
We must have
Improvement
A foregone conclusion
Gripping us today

An absolute truth in life is that, how to find comfort is one of the most important things that we will ever know.

Sometimes that is all about calm reason.

This is some part of my philosophy, but with rhyme and rhythm and a few spare minutes…

If we stop to think about everything
Sometimes our thoughts explode
Meanwhile, the rest of the time
Our mind should create an even flow
*
Through the worst and the best
It depends how it goes
When we are on the edge
Like when we know
Times, sick or hurt or stressed
If we are unhealhy
And low
Put our brain to the test
*
How to find comfort
is everything
that we should ever need to know
*
Our mind is more likely to drag it’s heels
If we can’t be well
And we feel like hell
*
If we are at a time
When we haven’t thought things through
maybe jumped to conclusions
Or given into illusions
Somehow we can still get back
to level ground
and then charge through
If we can find that mood
With that mind set and attitude
*
We focus to feel just fine
all of the time
even when we are misaligned
*
It only takes one time
When it’s all on the line
To change the design
And get back to fine and better
*
We flow with anything and everything
*
If life is tweaked
Like by a tough week
Or pressures
on our nerves
Like anxiety
*
Set it free
For all it’s worth
Think of how to
Deal with everything
By reaching comfort in our thoughts
*
If at first we can not
Find it in our body
Then we should find it in our mind
Our life will surely follow
With the calm reason that we find

The title here is slightly misleading…

I sometimes refer to “choice words” as when I curse about something… and I do curse.

I just choose to keep it mostly out of my writing.

This poem is more about the impact and process of making choices.

I have choice words
What I am about to say
Just keep on going any way
Be cool
Be fair
Be strong and brave
Do not give up on the day
When it is always something
that we can save
*
We have choices
The pros and cons will not lie
Like what can we afford to buy?
Be real
Be fair
Be smart and wise
Get work done all of the time
We should each be able to
attain the prize
*
So we get back to it
Finding the path
A new sure way to survive
Every second there are
choices for us
About how to live our life
*
Sometimes we decllare decisions
With our loudest voice
Other times we keep it quiet
without any noise
Sneak up on fate
Or announce the date
Chance plays a large role in whether
we crash or rejoice
We can still connect the outcome
to one single choice
*
We must make choices
In everything that we do
Let us find more ways to improve
Be sure
Be fair
Be true to you
Aim to live well every day
Find your calm or excitement
Each choice is new

*Random picture from a recent walk.

Lower mainland, British Columbia.

We lead with our attitude
We are calm and unassuming
We proceed with reasoning
Not just common sense
But intense thought
To sort out the issues
*
So what have we got?
Let’s understand it
Time is not underhanded
We can solve it
We just have to plan it
*
In the span of time it takes
To get set and start aiming
Each step is worth explaining
Make a difference
For our best shot
To solve many issues
*
Why is there a lot?
Issues keep landing
The battle is expanding
Let’s dissolve it
So that we can stand it
All of the time
Through mountains we climb
And down to the depths
Still doing fine
*
All of the time
The sun and moon shine
Stay up for each breath
With strength in our mind

A remedy for circumstances
Together we make more advances
Look at how we come together
Whatever we experience
With every effort
Forever
*
The energy to take more chances
Take each endeavor that enhances
When we all keep it together
Hold on to our experience
And all that we deserve
For right now
*
Better than before
The world that is restored
The calm actions that get more traction
And have a positive inpact on
Everything that we feel at this time
And moving forward
All that we find that should be
More than fine for our mind
*
When all that we see can romance us
It joins us in rhythms and dances
Only when we are together
It is such an experience
Like the best in this world
For this time
*
Better than before
Now we have so much more
Just a fraction gets a reaction
And has a positive impact on
Everything that we feel at this time
And moving forward
All that we find that should be
More than fine for our mind

The real deal
You get what you see
Say what you mean
Express how you feel
*
The big picture
You have to be sure
Life is the cure
The reason is pure
*
To survive is life
Each breath is the cure
Heart beats alive
Like never before
*
Always into the future
Now we have to be sure
*
We feel healed
We get to be free
That’s what we mean
By taking the wheel
*
We find structure
We start to be sure
Life is the cure
The moment is pure
*
Just to strive is life
Forever the cure
Somehow we thrive
Like never before
*
Always into the future
Now we stay much more sure
*
We get on with the day
Succeed and endure
When passion is pure
Life is the cure
