Present Future

Painting: Lee Matuga

I’ve got a feeling about the future,

It is more than just another sunrise,

Exactly how it happens I’m not too sure,

But not everything new is a surprise,

We can predict things and they will come true,

We can make mistakes, and nothing turns out,

Planning our goals is a good thing to do,

Achieving our dreams comes without a doubt,

In sleep we walk as far as waking,

In waking we walk till we fall asleep,

In dreams there must be chance-taking,

In life we must take risks for what we keep,

In all our futures, safety comes in waves,

Calm or stormy shores, faith’s what often saves,

I’ve got a feeling about the future,

It is more than just another sunrise,

I want to be with you always, for sure,

I do, but that should come as no surprise,

I can predict things that sometimes come true,

Mostly because they are easy to see,

Being ready keeps me steady and you,

Make it no problem to see what I need,

In sleep time unravels till our waking,

In waking I love you until we sleep,

In dreams there may be no real news breaking,

But life is intertwined with thoughts we keep,

Our future and life comes to me in waves,

This love, like the tides – shore forever craves

Enhancing Moods

I did not get entirely involved in the Rock and Roll mission, but I love the music a tonne. Blues music, metal has helped me too.

Phones and tones and cheap colognes,

Cars and bars and starlight,

Bones, the jones and sweet unknowns,

Mars is ours, no bar-fight,

In life we sometimes may take a big chance,

Goes well as long as we’re in a trance,

Energy to enhance ways we stay real,

In all of life, romance and passion to feel,

***

Signs, fine lines and love that shines,

Tints, eye-glints and flirting,

Spines, soft pines and truth combines,

Mints and hints and sure things,

In life sometimes we jump too soon,

Put it all on the line – over the moon,

Fallen through clouds when played the fool,

Left in the desert, our shadow is cool,

***

Looking for miles, barren landscape is there,

Unlimited time forever we share,

But just sometimes, if we’re caught in a snare,

When courage fails, are connections are rare,

Too soon, too late, over-anticipate,

But in time it can all work out fair,

***

Rays, good days and love that stays,

Sand, and tans worth planning,

Praise, eyes glazed and truthful ways,

Glance and stance still standing,

Courage carries and connections that care,

All of our lives we have found they are there,

And in good times, we are surly aware,

To celebrate the moments we share,

***

So quick, so slow, see how far it can go,

The truth can be all we can bare,

Couth, each tooth and photo booths,

Friends and trends and dancing,

Moves and grooves and love that soothes,

Ends and bends advancing,

Shows and pros and night that glows,

Moods and broods are ready,

Crows and lows, the way it goes,

Blues and news, be steady

Love of Life

Life takes many forms. Love of these forms is natural.

Love of Life

You know I love the water, love the water, in the waterfall,

You know I love the river, love the lake, love the pitcher of cool water

You know I love the water, the pure water, and we drink it up,

You know I love the water, the salt water, down at the seaside,

Rising up, Raining down, dipping into the cool blue oasis

Diving in, drinking down, sipping from the stream that is flowing,

Water is life,

You know I love the children, love the children, more than anything else, yah,

You know I love the kids, love the new world, love and nurture our new hope- yah,

God I love the woman, oh that woman, – more than anything else,

God I love the woman, so much more than anything else oh yah

Just Now

Just now:

Insanity? Where do we run?

Sanctuary when will it come?

Time flies when you are having fun!

Days drag when you don’t feel as one,

Need that piece of us to get by,

Meaning and thought that keeps us high,

Above fear, anger and toil,

We need spirit that is loyal,

Any moment that we can share,

When our calm mind can be aware,

Of ourselves, our freedom and love,

To find peace, when push comes to shove,

Work hard, play hard, and relax too,

We need to see a good way, to get through.

Oh well, what the hell can you do?

We had to burn a bridge or two,

Wake up ancient changeling,
Come see what the day brings,
Your mood will appear strong,
Can we hear your sweet song?
Generations of love,
With such strength from above,

Are we on the right side,

What does the future hide?
Spiritless culture frowns,
Bringing the faithful down,

Had to leave them behind,

Our efforts are still kind,
Patiently we will wait,
And hope it’s not too late

Pleasure-filled moments of triumph living,

In my memories and in my new days,

Nothing is missing in these scattered times,

I have been without pain and now faith stays,

Now I have forgotten the suffering,

Even in dreams I am free to wander,

Love in the landscape that speeds below me,

As I lay down: no worries to ponder,

Then it happened, chance delivers a blow,

Falling through clouds, smashing down far below,

There was no warning sign as faith just died,

An empty void where my body had lied,

Pulled pieces together with help from friends,

Rebuilt the structures supporting my way,

Impulsive moves could disturb plans again,

A guide with compassion and it would stay,

Strength of the body, beauty in the mind,

Reason to believe in peace that I find

…..

Strength comes from within, but friends and a compassionate guide can help restore faith. Optimism also helps build peace.

Winter COLD, Sunshine Expected

THE ICE AGE

I have many

Clear reasons why,

I am left out in the cold, still smiling,

But I am sure that you do not have time,

To hear them all. After all: it is cold,

………………………………………………….

To give you just

A hint of why,

I freeze so solid, over-taken by,

Feelings of iciness and solitude,

I will break the ice to explain to you:

…………………………………………………..

I am guided

Most surely by

A much different goal, and mood than many,

Like most: the ghost, the god(s), but not the penny,

Spirit fast or slow, it’s all that I know,

…………………………………………………….

I have much to

Still think about,

That can make day-to-day trials so plain,

Love the days with work, healthy with no strain,

I feel at sometimes I fall steps behind,

…………………………………………………….

And left to chill

I thought too long,

Tried to meet social norms and protection,

Cared too much, maybe strived for perfection,

Almost always good, not what really could,

……………………………………………………………

Be to get through,

And to connect

With those of you, one of you, the ones who,

Bring me to warmth past this icy threshold,

In company, or isolation cold,

…………………………………………

I am frozen

Because I care

More about the truth, if it has more use,

Than each social front that may go against

Values and love . . . I smile to reduce angst,

…………………………………………………………….

Or just because,

I am happy,

To strive to prove love, warm light from above,

Cool meanings inside, my friend does confide,

May be out in the cold, but my answers are bold

For those opposed: Please comment.

(or in agreement, questions? – any comment would be nice)

I like honesty. It is an undervalued trait. It is unusual that we have to fight to be true, and that being truthful can also create great conflict. Sometimes: expression of the truth in inappropriate. In some business, or social interaction it is NOT cool to bring up truth. I mean: use common sense, but clearly it is not appropriate to blurt out something that offends or affects another person or party negatively – no matter how true it is.

Truth of the matter is: I have run into problems at times because I am being true to myself. I am glad to take on and follow through on all my important responsibilities. I have run large construction projects, taken on new volunteer work and kept a family normally happy and healthy. I work hard. We need to contribute, but it is also our responsibility to take care of our own interests and health as well. Lying to be part of a malfunctioning system is not healthy for me. We will see if being more blunt will have a better effect.

This poem is a bit more dramatic maybe than it needs to be, but the main idea is strong and real.

Spending Wisely

Leave a reply

Best wishes! I have just a few thoughts on the best way to spend time and money. It seems we are pretty much part of the economy and social demand – especially of those with power. Sometimes this is a great thing – If we have food, shelter, and a good quality of life. At other times, when we don’t fit in, we need to work hard to make ourselves productive. When productivity that consistently increases other’s quality of life is not recognized with reward – there seems to be some failure in the system. This microcosm may be hard to detect, but in the macrocosm, disparity must be recognized. The insight of those that are in the positions of less power to affect their own outcomes, needs to be addressed. It is important to consider that even a person who lives in poverty may have potentially great skills and attributes to contribute to society – that is not recognized, because it is not convenient to develop them. Those without the skills have needs similar to anyone else and we must work together to help everyone have their needs met.

Spend Wisely

Shudder to think of all the wasted time,

Yet the play, the music, the art, and rhyme,

Allows the freedom to work for money,

Without peaceful moments or skies sunny,

There is no patience, no progress or goals,

Pushing for the reward can takes its tolls,

Seems best to have a friend to rely on,

To have a person’s shoulder to cry on,

A guitar for picking, to strum, or express,

Radios to play music that feels best,

TV is there, with a dog or a cat,

I never end my own internal chat,

Yes there is a time to get down to work,

I never avoid it, I will not shirk,

If I raise one soul’s quality of life,

Denying I’m working is the true strife,

Who is hired to make this world better?

Sign me up now, I’m a real go-getter,

When the sky crashes on a poor artist,

Have mercy to ask, ‘why did I start this?’

Was it to make money that creates peace?

That is cool – the best and please never cease,

But for money you can’t think how to spend,

Think again, ‘what ways, and what love can I send?’

Creating Chance

Leave a reply

I want to Explode- I missed another chance…

I cannot survive- to risk passing more plans…

The wait until tomorrow could never end,

Holding on for the next beautiful God-send,

Fallen between the cracks and crevasses,

Sand quickly drifting into the darkness,

Through my hands,

Underneath of my feet,

Unknown ever again, far below the path I walk on,

Chance – within a moment: so clearly divine,

Yet the moment before you chose to resign,

Meeting a person that may make your world spin,

In respite, you decide the ways you can win,

One word is spoken, but misunderstood,

Forever changing the way it will go,

Through our minds,

Unseeing our context,

Understood by each of us – in a new and unique way,

Meaning and moments invisible to one,

Clouded, yet now we share the bright brilliant sun,

Goals that can occupy one person’s lifetime,

Wait one more fickle moment for just the right line,

Great events occur that affect us each,

There is no mistaking the powerful,

Through our goals,

Unreal thoughts may outstretch,

Unimaginable: a world without a complex mind,

Extending that key word into precision,

Attention: focus that defines our vision,

Goals that must be realistically defined,

In hobbies or pastimes – fine to get behind,

In precious building blocks of who we are,

It pays to be careful, yet risk on a star,

Through clear eyes,

Untold sights may appear,

Unexpected change occurs – be aware you’re creating

A long time ago, I came up with the idea that love should be kind of an even thing. Everyone deserves some. Do we have the capacity to love our enemies? Conceptually?

This kind of hippie consideration might make it easier for people to get along – even compromise. Maybe then, in one home: disagreements, yelling, irrational insults and even divorce could unravel with the consideration for basic humanity: respect.

How can it help? Well it goes to show. Even if a couple may split up – a simple respect that involves effort and endurance, may make the aftermath a lot less messy.

You can’t love everyone like they are your best friend, or your soul mate, but you can love everyone, such that you treat them with the respect of humanity. If that care for the human condition is cradled and admitted to, it can persist to stop battles – or at least reduce casualties.

I am trying to love you,

Don’t you have the time?

Are you locked in social convention?

As the clock is quickly dying?

I see someone trying to love me,

But I just don’t have the time,

I am burning up each single moment,

Still I yearn for what is mine,

Everybody needs someone,

Even if it’s just their self,

Economy and social battle fronts,

Prevent many from sacred wealth,

I am trying to love you,

Don’t you have the time?

Is that simple thought too sick for you?

Or is it healthy in your mind?
