I find myself in

these situations often

When communication seems flawed

We start second-guessing

Did reality change?

*

My mind outthinks itself

Trying to be safe AND awesome

My presentation is raw

I just keep confessing

I can’t help myself

I have to be true

But something in the middle

Makes it hard to get through

**

It happens at work more

It doesn’t happen at home

People that know me better

Know what to expect

If folks think I’m a jerk

I won’t leave it alone

People that know me better

Don’t ever suspect me

to ever be mean

I’m sometimes purely weird

But I work to keep it clean

It’s my main goal

**

I say what I say

I might need to take it back

I try to keep going

To keep it on track

Sometimes it’s odd

But if I get enough time

People get on my page

And may relate to my mind

My heart is for the most at any given moment

My stability comes first

But I care for more

My art is for the most at any given moment

My soul comes first

And I care more

**

Sometimes it’s one step forward

And two steps back

I try to leap ahead to keep it on track

Sometimes I’m blind

But if I get enough time

I heal myself and others

When I open my mind

My heart is for the most at any given moment

I see through my life first

But I care for more

My dream is for the most at any given moment

My soul comes first

Transcendental core

**

I find myself in

these situations often

When communication seems hollow

We start our assessment

Did reality change?

*

Time outthinks itself

For one reason or another

The presentation we follow

Seems kind of messed up

We can help ourselves

With reality’s rules

We get ahead of the game

When we balance each mood

**

Misunderstanding

*

Happens with strangers more

Won’t let it happen on my own

I know myself better

Know I need confidence

If folks think I’m a danger

I write more on my phone

People may know me better?

A forever alliance

How I hope for the best

Some times it all seems too weird

And I work to clean up the mess

It’s my main goal

**

I say what I say

I shouldn’t have to take it back

I try to keep going

Never talking smack

Sometimes I’m strange

But when I get enough time

People get on my page

And may relate to my mind

My heart is for the most at any given moment

My stability comes first

But I care for more

My brain

is getting close at any given moment

My soul comes first

And I care more

**

At times it’s one step forward

And two steps back

I push to get ahead

They should cut me some slack

At times I find

That if I get enough time

I heal myself and others

When I open my mind

My heart is for the most at any given moment

I see through my eyes first

But I care for more

My logic is for the most at any given moment

My soul comes first

With my tnscendental core

***

Another day in the life

Looking forward to the future

Been under for a while

but it’s finally clearing up

A convergence of chaos

Always welcomes the new world

Then recedes like the tide

Now I’m really gearing up

**

Don’t let ignorance be deadly 

We’re all in this together

We should all get ready

To climb up to the top

Lose the baggage of bias

Bring the balance back to neutral

Try to get totally steady

Harmful attitudes should be dropped

**

Pull the stars up into the sky

Push the dirt

Down to Earth

Plant it well and pack it tight

Then climb to heaven for our rebirth

*

Circle thoughts in our own head

Align with the next

Distant galaxy

So our care can be dispersed

Disconnection is a fallacy

**

We all belong

Don’t fall

Forever calls

Eternity is all we see

And Energy is always free

*

Coursing through our nerves and veins

Dancing in our hearts and brains

Every molecule that strives to bond

Each sense we share

Each day we’ve spawned

**

We all belong

And crawl

No too tall or too small

The best time of all

Is when we have our orbit set

Haul our fair weight

Make our safe bets

Routine to wake

And share all we get

Keeping health for ourselves

This planet

Why would we deny

Kind logic that flows

Healing powers

Deep down that Everyone knows?

**

Another day in the life

With a blast from the past

Been stretching out for a while

And I will never stop

A resurgence of memory

Welcomes the life that came last

Then rises fast like the tide

Now I’m really cooling off

**

Don’t let arrogance be deadly 

We’re all in this together

We should all get ready

To reach up to the top

Lose the hang ups of denial

Raise the balance for the better

Try to get totally steady

Harmful attitudes should be stopped

**

Pull the stars down from the sky

Push the fair

Up into the air

Feed all life well and share good light

Reach past all hell, but stay aware

*

Circle thoughts in our own head

Prepare for the next new weather system

Know our game holds truth and dare

Protection comes from our prediction

**

We all belong

Stand tall

Forever calls

Eternity is all we see

And Energy is always free

*

Coursing through our nerves and veins

Dancing in our hearts and brains

Every charge that strikes so strong

Each sense we share

Each day that’s dawned

**

We all belong

And call

Not to stall or hit the wall

The best time of all

Is when we have our shelter set

Haul our fair weight

Make our safe bets

Routine to wake

And share all we get

Keeping health for ourselves

And this planet

Why would we deny

Kind logic that flows

Healing powers

Deep down that Everyone knows?

**

Another day in the life

We know only the present

Been forever for a while

I try to love it a lot

An emergence of energy

Welcomes change to make it pleasant

Then recedes like the tide

Now I’m really on the spot

***

I hope you never have to go through

What has happened to some

Pain agonizing

Wishing with everything

just to be numb

Gruelling moments of torment

Not knowing whether to scream or cry

Summoning strength just

Not to wish to die

Anything Anything to get away from this

No more moments of peace

should we have to miss

*

Physical or mental

There’s not much between

When intense stress hits

It can be an awful scene

How do we get back to

Feeling healthy and well

Instead of going through an unbearable hell?

Maintain faith and optimism

It’s all we can do

Push to believe that we can

so we can make it through

*

Take practical steps to heal and recover

Do what we can

Hope for help from another

Calm waves of patience

Tolerance and time

Eventually arrive

As we reach and climb

Further with care

For our body and mind

***

We must be careful

how we come across

We must at least respect common sense

Sometimes we go beyond common sense

It should not come by

Another’s big loss

Plan to win big but

Consider the cost

Don’t cross the line

that people have in their mind

Without clearing it first with all humankind

Common sense comes first

**

We must be careful

how actions come across

We must consider common sense

Sometimes we go beyond common sense

It should not come by

Another’s big loss

Plan to win big but

Common sense is the boss

Don’t cross the line

that is purposefully designed

Without clearing it first with all humankind

Common sense comes first

**

The only time to challenge common sense

is if we clearly will make it better

For more wellness

With all included

*

The only way we should act out of place

is if we can truly make the place better

For more wellness

With all included

*

I’m just saying

In the day to day

Think about common sense first

Maybe improve it

Just never lose it

**

We must be careful

how we come across

We must think first of common sense

Sometimes we go beyond common sense

It should not come by

Another’s big loss

Plan to win big but

Not at another’s cost

Don’t cross the line

Diligently we must find

And protect the best boundaries of all humankind

Common sense comes first

***

I am a bridge to span the ocean

But I have no way to connect

Thousands of miles

Our need compiles

I think I’ll become a jet

*

I have simple words to share devotion

Try to unite a world and protect

So many styles

Constant life-trials

Best if everyone could reflect

And collect our best intentions

**

I am on a road to more emotion

I have no way to disconnect

Thousands of smiles

But stress compiles

It’s the traffic that makes me fret

*

I have simple words to share devotion

Try to unite a world and protect

Attacked all the while

By social denial

Best if everyone

Could learn to reflect

**

We see the world in front of us

We can accept it or deny

Deep down to our foundation

We our one living nation

Everyone has their perspective

We can see it better if we try

We can feel empathy

If we work harder

To understand the reasons why

We are different or the same

We can work to accept more or deny

**

I am part of the social quotient

I am the building

where we connect

Thousands of files

The present compiles

I aim to show total respect

*

I have simple words to share devotion

Try to unite a world and reject

Political guile

Kindness denial

Best if everyone could reflect

And collect our best intentions

***

In the perilous day

So soon I lose my vision

I aim for home

A nest I count on

Where I will come to life

Hatching from the moon

And the primordial night

Eagle of the sunshine emerging

into the sky

To hunt

To feel

To thrive

And raise the day with precise talons of life

I see the future move

*

In the miraculous day

I regain my system

I aim for the world

The most I can count on

Where I will bring more life

Embracing the sun

And the eternal light

Soul from the daytime emerging

into the sky

To soar

To see

To strive

And rise from the Earth with broad wings of life

I see the future standing

***

A piece of time

One single moment

Washing against the shore

*

Peace of mind

Knowing what the dream meant

Calm and patient to the core

*

Years go by

I think about time spent

Imagine what’s in store

*

Appeasing sky

Cloudy grey, still heaven-sent

Texture can’t be ignored

**

Life persists

No matter the dreary day

Going about our business

*

Through the mist

We reach out to have our say

The sky our only witness

*

Life’s turns and twists

Under water creatures play

Or above clouds in their highness

*

The day insists

There is another way

A balanced world won’t defy us

**

The light is true

Even if it’s hiding

Darkness is never forever

*

This sight is new

The future is arriving

Harshness is quick to sever

*

Our might runs through

Each breath forward-guiding

We harness the wind and the weather

*

Night for me and you

May be cold and blinding

But day is always

Our next endeavour

***

I wear my heart on my sleeve

It’s just the way it goes

It’s not my fault

Sometimes I seem overexposed 

*

If my only explanation 

Causes frustration

We think the day away

With the view that we chose

Defined by defiance

To all those opposed

*

Now I need you more:

And an alliance that shows

So we can be who we are

And everyone knows

**

I put my best foot forward

Then you step on my toes

It’s not your fault

I was getting too close

*

In another situation

We share pure elation

We dance the day away

With the one that we chose

Smiling in defiance

to all those opposed

*

Now I need you more:

And an alliance that shows

We can be who we are

as our good love grows

**

I am who I am

I do the best I can

We can get along together

When we understand

How to approach each other

How to interact

And find productive peace

To get our lives on track

*

We can work together

And care enough

Get what we need

And then share stuff

“No, I won’t because I’m so wicked”

Thinking like that is a bad habit 

And we all have to kick it

*

We are who we are

We will get very far

If we get along together

We connect like superstars

In how we approach each other

How we interact

We can find productive peace

And bring the balance back

**

I say what I want to say

That is best I suppose

It’s no one’s fault

Which way the wind blows

*

With great consideration

And no hesitation

We work the day away

For the cause that we chose

Unwinding defiance

Of all those opposed

*

Now I need you more:

And an alliance that shows

So we can be who we are

And a better energy flows

***

Intelligent social creatures

Bursting freely into an open space

Flooding into branches and roosts

Never reckless or consumed by haste

*

Greed is not real when

They fight for their life

Wanting what they need

It’s how they feed

Competition within the light

Wild creatures come into sight

**

Every day keeping it real

We think we have a feel for it

They have their world

With appeal

They have to steal

every meal for it

*

They are heard

A loud bird

Caw and call intensely

But our unfair words

Make us sure

Of the rise and fall we are sensing

A flock of crows is a murder

So sinister

With our false pretences

**

Soaring high above

Almost any single story

Truth or fiction

Each outcome can be so important

When they hold bold wisdom

For our future glory

In lives we are adoring

We always want more

But when we see through biased eyes

Key views that we ignore

Prevent us from sharing

Resources we are storing

*

Like when we hold back love

from a certain group of people

Because they seem different

We label them

Trouble or evil

They may not be bad at all

Often just trying to survive

In the methods that they’re accustomed

We all have ways to stay alive

We put our heads down and drive

We should be trying harder

To help all of our worlds jive

**

Dancing intertwined

falling through the atmosphere

By chance we are inclined

All together without fear

Intolerance, an unkind calling

Cleansed quickly, the air is clear

We enhance the mind we haul

by looking in the mirror

One glance and we find

We are all so similar here

The stance to take is kindness

Call off every single tear

*

Crows may divebomb an eagle

In their fight for territory

An eagle arrives calm

Demands respect

Would never have to say sorry

Eagles rise much higher

Known as an honourable bird

Killing machines demand more praise

Sometimes I think it’s absurd

Unlike the hard-working crow

A common super-smart scavenger

**

Don’t get me wrong

Precision is cool

An eagle is regal

And rarely a fool

Their carnivorous skill

Sometimes so impressive

Yet the crow we all know

Can seem way more aggressive 

If we listen closer 

their voice is suggestive

Of ancient wisdom

From sunlight or shadows

Of the illusions and insights

That we always have had close

***

I must say

I’m on a mission

To accomplish what I’m wishing

It’s just too bad and I can’t see why

But nobody will listen

*

It seems what I’ve said

has been written down

Words I can’t live without 

Turn the pages

Make your wagers

On what it’s all about

*

Simple as a circle

Straightforward as the seasons

**

I must say

I have a vision

To harness more precision

It’s just so sad

And I can’t understand why

 the things we need are missing

*

It seems what I thought

has been said out loud

Words I can’t live without

Help me through life’s stages

Like daily wages

For what it’s all about

*

Simple as a square

How we stay aware

**

I must say

I have made a decision

About this intense world we live in

I should say what I want to say

Why keep it all bottled up?

*

Calmly catching on

Words hitting full throttle

In this classic model

Mind before body

We don’t want to hit the wall

*

Let’s see the road clearly

And our brains won’t get startled

By any metal friction

It’s just the gears turning

Join in this intuition

And join this peace-loving journey

Look into today’s mission and vision

Because they’re absolutely worthy

Just because we are stars

Doesn’t mean we are unearthly

**

I must aay

I am on a mission

To accomplish what I’ve envisioned

Is it too wild and I can’t see why?

Am I headed for a collision?

*

It seems what I’ve found

has been driven out

Words I can’t live without

Land on the same page

We are in a cage

This is what it’s all about

*

Simple as a triangle

Let’s raise a pyramid
