Every second of every day
We are connected to
everything
in certain ways
With perfect grace
In time and space
We are impacted in ways
that we can’t expect
Gravity here on Earth keeps us in check
But Still we reach out
Interacting
even just relative
to the most distant life
And any movement in the universe
*
Dimensions away
Or right at our level
We take it in fast
We take stock
We won’t settle
*
We always get past
We are rock
We are metal
The connection lasts
*
Every minute of every year
We are connected to
everything
Both far and near
It’s crystal clear
It helps us steer
Subject to courage past fear
That we can protect
Achieve, take action after we reflect
When we just reach out
Intercepting
even just reactive
to likely connections
To help improve more of the universe
*
Dimensions we stay
Go up one more level
We make it so fast
We face shocks
We won’t settle
*
We always get past
We are rock
We are metal
The connection lasts
*
Every moment of every life
We are connected to
everything
in a distinct light
A deep insight
In space and time
We extract such fine designs
that we will direct
Happenings here on Earth
We can project
Then we can reach out
Interfacing
and always relative
to the most current life
From any viewpoint in the universe
*
Dimensions today
And at any level
We play it so fast
Create lots
We won’t settle
*
We always get past
We are rock
We are metal
The connection lasts

*

Lots of poems lately…

This one may seem gloomy at points, but is just another perspective of an otherwise bright moment. It is what it is.

Our senses pull us through and into times.

No matter how good the good times get
On the other side of now
There are still
storm clouds always present
We get used to them somehow
We find normal off-days pleasant
Because parts of them are great
The storm can always fade
Or become
Bearable at any rate
*
No matter how long the tough times last
On the other side of now
There are still
Bright sides always present
We get into them somehow
We find light moments stay brilliant
Because parts of them are great
Some bright light always stays
Or becomes
Visible in brand new ways
*
The flip side is
Alright
There is a silver lining
Or solid gold
That can be bold
It depends on our timing
*
Push through the struggle
With might
Calm thoughts keep us from dying
Or getting cold
It won’t take hold
We withstand it just by trying
*
No matter how soon the good times are
On the other side of now
There are still
Our thoughts always present
We can use them all somehow
We find our power-plays vibrant
Because parts of now are great
Good hours raise our days
Life becomes
Possible
No need to wait

Just saying, but this may come across weird, but it is something I think that many of us go through, in the face of getting through life.

When we want it all
And we get the call
But we are unsure
Because the words are obscure
the chance may be pure
We have been there before
And now we expect much more
*
They may wonder
Why we screech to a halt
But it’s not our fault
When they opened the door
We were still on the floor
Now they shut down like a vault
And it stings like salt
in our wounds
For many moons
But when the handle turns
We can change our tune
We are fresh
But wise
We connect finally
Not too late
Not too soon
Just on time and over the moon
*
When we need it all
And don’t want to fall
But we are so sure
Because some truths are assured
Comfort is the lure
We have been here before
Now we understand much more
*
There is thunder
But no fear is involved
It has been resolved
They had to end the war
Human kind at the core
The toxic parts have dissolved
The new world revolves
Past the gloom
Midnight or noon
And when the viewpoint turns
Between sun and moon
All the rest
Is fine
We reflect divinely
Not too late
Not too soon
Right on time and feeling in tune
*
When we want it all
And get past the wall
We have to be sure
Because there will be detours
Our strength will endure
We have learned from before
And now we can reach much more
*
Reach our goals
Reach new heights
When we get through
The tolls and fights
Finding peace
Finding pleasure
When we hold tight
Each day and night
Hold sound and sight
Bear our burden
Release for leisure
Hold our life
It is our treasure
When we want it all
We can run or crawl
That is life for sure
Because this is forever

In order to believe
We must be convinced
To really believe
We should see what is at stake
*
How do we get there?
What makes us believe?
*
When we really watch
Every step that we take
*
The modern experience
comes each day in high speed
*
In order to achieve
It requires effort
To really achieve
We have to make a change
*
For healthy progress
What helps us achieve?
*
We should closely watch
each wish that we make
*
Then when we follow through
We have more chance to succeed
*
If we have enough of our luck
and of our hard-working days
We can be certain
that our core beliefs will hold true
and that we will achieve our goals
When it is important to
By doing what helps out
Work to always follow through
Believe and achieve
In everything that we do
*
In order to achieve
We must have a goal
To really believe
Sometimes nothing is fake
*
The truth of the matter
Is that if we stay aware
And make our best effort
We can reach what we need
And things start getting better
Believe only what helps us succeed
And we will achieve a decent break

I started this last night before bed. I find that when I start at that time, I seem to have something more formulated when I wake up.

Another poem, that’s all.

Pictured here is the first time thaf I played elecric guitar, on my then brand new guitar. I think Christmas 1984. I had been playing acoustic until then…

What’s on your mind?
What can you find?
We work every day
We can’t get behind
*
What do you think?
Do we all sync?
We feel every day
Are we on the brink?
*
On the ledge of a conclusion
It can seem like mass confusion
All that we are made of
Gets us through
No one knows
Except those close to us
Or connected to us
What we all do
*
How do we win?
Or just begin?
We live every day
How will the world spin?
*
With our design
We will be fine
We win every day
We make it in time
*
Patience and endurance
Will get us through
Pleasure and comfort
From our point of view
*
Comes easier together
With all that we do
Closer to forever
When our passion stays new

Always ready
Good and getting better
Without a doubt
I know the reason why
Tomorrow seems so incredible
*
Some things never change
Days that make us smile
The good life that we create
Whatever gets us by
Each new challenge that we defy
We have more than meets the eye
*
Feeling heavy
Good and getting better
Under the clouds
I know the reason why
Finding change is inevitable
*
Some things stay the same
at least for a while
The more time that we create
The more that we get by
With that cool focus in our eye
When we are under the sky
*
Story threading
Good and getting better
It can be about
Knowing the reason why
Because caring is commendable
*
We work for the happy ending
And begin again
Good and getting better

*
Good and getting better

I do what I do
Because that’s how I feel well
Live well
and be well
*
I think what I think
Because I can sort things out
All doubt
Can get out
Right out of the park
*
Moving fast around the bases
All I can think of is faces and places
Cheering loudly for social graces
Success happens when it’s
Not a phase and
We have good taste
*
We make it happen
By having the mind set
Learn how to find it
By following the play
Every single day

*
And do what we do
Because we work to feel well
Live well
And be well
*
I do what I do

I hope we ALL feel well
Live well
and be well
*
We think what we think
Somehow we will sort things out
So loud
If we shout
When the lights go dark
*
Proving mass
the curtain raises
All we can think of is faces and aces
Cheering loudly for social graces
Success happens when we
Keep the pace
*
and make it happen
By having the mind set
Learn how to time it
Having patience with fate
Every single day

*
And do what we do
Because we strive to feel well
Live well
And be well

I write for fun and as a way to share ideas, hopefully in a healthy way, and by healthy, I also mean a rewarding, working way.

I started this poem last night and this is what I came up with this morning.

• Just as a flashback, I found this picture. This is a Datsun 1600, I drove this for a while in the 1990’s.

Looking out the window
From our speeding car
The world is the driver
Taking us so far
I see other cars and people
And the road
and a steep hill
Trees line the highway
As we climb this mountain
In this time we all have free will
We don’t question our choice
We must have a voice
Most of us say
If we had it our way
It would all be free
Everything that we see
And where we want to be
Is at the start of a fine day
It should be a divine day
it might stay
That is why we work
We deserve some perks
We may be passengers
But we are also engineers
We are creators of our own pathway
Either slower or in the fast lane
Stories and visions
Steering precision
The map in our head
Directions we are led
Intricate, intense routes we trace
And destinations that we chase
The challenges we face
All to be knowing good people
Each place
All of our designs stay
We do whatever we find may
Enhance our life
By parking our choice
Getting out of the ride
And meeting our world
Together we share the challenge
If we pay attention
To find the best ways
To get by
in these places
and share our lives gracefully
Skillfully
Or at least
Carefully
Yet sometimes wildly charging
Living to the fullest
From one travel to the next
The journey never ends

Justice does not mean
much to many
Of course
To many
it does mean a lot
*
Especially for
those that become caught
in unfair situations
needing something to happen
To get out of a nasty spot
*
Sometimes injustice
comes from massive systems like
Society, big business and the government
*
Sometimes a villain holds us down
Sometimes that is their intent
Sometimes they don’t even know
that they are doing it
Until fair warning is sent
*
Sometimes it is a neighbour, family or friend
*
Seems that it should be easy
to reach out to one of them
*
Sometimes speaking up will help
Sometimes it is an intense grind
Sometimes we do it to ourselves
Sometimes the world is out of line
*
Justice does not mean much to many
Buf for many
It means everything
*
Especially for those feeling the sting
In unfair situations
Needing something to happen
What can our best dealing now bring?
*
Sometimes our justice
comes from our perspectives like
Changing attitudes
Away from vain dominance
*
Sometimes a hero makes it fair
Sometimes they seem heaven-sent
Sometimes they don’t even know
that they are doing it
Fair, just when a thought is spent
*
Sometimes it is just anyone that can attend
*
It is not always easy
to reach out to one of them
*
We should all reach out
now and then
*
Justice is about our health
All of the time body and mind
Sometimes we stand up for ourselves
Sometimes our world is on the line

Calm and optimistic
Realistic from my perspective
A contrast to others
We don’t have to be so selective
Convenience can cause it
We can always stop it
If we take a hard look at the situation
And find ways to unlock it
*
Try to be enthusiastic
Realistic with these perspectives
A big boost for others
When we are being more receptive
Experience deposits
Love of life
Get on it
If we take a close look at the situation
Talk the talk then We walk it
*
For so many days
We find ways to share strong praise
For the people that we reach
And the places that we stay
*
In all of my life
Learned that gratitude is wise
On the pathways that we lead
Earth below strives for the skies
Take care of events that coincide
With many causes
*
And how we describe
The mysteries and histories
From when we are born
to when we die
And any other experience
Way down low or way up high
*
An honest dynamic
Realistic from all perspectives
Connections to others
That become totally objective
Allegiance that we wanted
Synergy undaunted
From the start of our time
To each situation
When we all have responded
*
For all of our time
Connect or not by design
In daily life that we lead
Days will shine We are alright
Each drive kicks in and then we arrive
With many causes
*
And now we describe
Through discussion and listening
Our time together
And live our life
And every type of experience
Down and low
Or spirits high
*
Calm and optimistic
Realistic from our perspective
