Woke Up This Way

That feeling has left.
It just lasted a day.
I feel so much better
Now that its gone away.

Not sure where it came from,
But it was a feelin of dread.
And, with the unease
Were thoughts in my head.

Something seems wrong.
What could it be?
I’m worried that something
Will happen to me.

Have I not been mindful?
Not followed through?
Will life throw a curve ball?
What can I do?

Thank goodness it passed;
that nothing bad came my way.
It may have come from a dream.
I feel better today.

It Melts Away

Know that I’m Aware.
Where not, please know I Care.

The issues are so many.
Just so much I can see.

But, I walk, to take my Time.
I slow-down with a Rhyme.
Con si der ing
The life around me.
Thankful for this time.

I’ll often seek the Hawk.
I’ll sometimes find her Feather.
Just my time, just for a Walk.
Just me within the Weather.

Lovely is the sunshine.
I too enjoy the Rain.
Always tied to suffering
And managing our Pain.

And I’ve found that it’s O.K.
To just enjoy the Day.
To leave things as they are:
That Bullshit melts Away.

Peace on Earth

It’s another time
Around the globe.
Somewhere sits
A man in robe.

Hungry are a many.
Disease and war and peace.

But there’s no peace that lasts.
Ripples are the way.
We’re all connected here on earth.
Togther. One. Today.

Now.
Hear this.
Loud and clear.
Our heads are in our ass.

Be not content.
Do not ignore
The lessons from our past.

We’re holding everything.
And we’re held by want is here.

The things that we ignore
Are wrapped in all our fear.

But, we must follow hope.
And, love will light the way.
It’s up to us to see it.
We only have today.

At the Edge

What do you make
Of the field
And the Forrest?

Of the shadows,
And the light of the day?

As darkness falls,
What do you do?

Are you at peace,
Or are you running away?

Dreams are closer,
And thought of with sleep.
Unawake, we-fall-into-unknown.

Seasons pass.
Yet we carry the past.
I wonder when-i’ll-be-grown.

My child inside
Says, “let’s-go-for-a-ride”.
And, “I-want-to-live-without-pain”.

But-i-soon-forget
As I’m dealing with shit;
Pulled-by material gain.

Called by the future.
Confused by the now.
I move with belief in what’s right.

A trip that will end,
Just as it began.
With pure, unfiltered light.

Be Yourself

This about it.
It’s how you take it.
Is how you see it,
And step forward
Can’t ignore it.
Movin on.
And holdin on,
And Not.
What it is,
To you.
Ain’t to me.
Can’t see.
That I’m beyond you.
But, in reach,
So I teach.
Ain’t wrong.
Then it’s gone,
And won’t come back.
And, you’re seen
With lack of tact,
But the fact is
You’re hacked,
So you help
The way it is,
By the way you see his.
And, more than you take-in,
You ain’t fakin
What you make of this place,
Like a race
That won’t end,
After you move on.
Gone.
So you gotta leave it better
Than you found it.
Surrounded
You find it,
Reminded by what happened
Saddend,
Yet struck,
And compelled to duck
The way you are.
Far from how you perceive
They want you to be.
But you can only be yourself.

Big Sky Day

As we go…
May we reach the Big Sky day.

Fueled by sweet Honey,
And the peppers he grew.

From long before we ever knew.

For long before we ever came,
there was the wish for us,
within their love and suffering.

Stretch and be free
As you can,
And trust they held the pain
For us,
That we could be without it.

Believe you can
Touch the Big Sky Day.

For you’re beyond the small way
Of yesterday,
And tomorrow will come.

The Sun, Life, and You

Be full and at peace with the clouds and storms.
Embrace and be elevated by the light and warmth from the sun.
It shines on all of us, occasionally.
May it charge you to do great things, continuously.
Know that it reaches you even when you can’t see it.
Know that it is in you, even when you can’t feel it.
Storms come and go. And, we have a tendency to perceive the sun as absent when skys are grey.
Yet, we know the sun shines, constantly; that it’s there beyond the clouds.
Consider too that it is we who move away from and back towards the sun.
It’s not leaving us as it sets; not coming up and to us as it rises.
We revolve around the sun.
Be thankful.

Now. What is the negative story you carry from your childhood?
Is there a story you have in mind as to why you are not the fullest version of yourself? Why you’ll never realize your dreams?
There are excuses we give ourselves that keep us around our “Need Line”.
Most settle, yet life is wired for gain and abundance; progress.

One may argue that it takes as much energy holding ourselves back as it does letting go and allowing ourselves to become great; more full of Life; more successful.

Go to your pain. Go to your negative stories. Say goodbye. And, give yourself permission to grow into the person you want to become.

Pure Gold

Out of the box,
A brand new mold.
First of its kind;
absolute Gold.

Reality shifts.
Word spreads fast.
No way to know
How long it will last.

Will it take hold?
How could it not?
The collective buys in;
everyone’s caught.

It brings heightened awareness;
Call-it a-mind-bomb.
Higher consciousness.
Greater calm.

Peace comes with it.
Hate fades away.
A new take on life
That’s here to stay.

Beyond 20-20

We must-all understand
That life is shared.
I wish everyone knew-this
And that everyone cared.

It’s amazing and simple,
What we-have, all-around.
Yet most are blind,
And can’t see what I’ve found.

Like a dream where you stare,
But can’t make it out.
It never comes clear.
You’re just left with doubt.

You-just couldn’t see it
As hard as you tried.
I can’t help but think,
Those who’ve taught us have lied.

So, most are raised,
But never grow;
Stuck with a focus,
They can’t let go.

Holding on;
Ironic and sad.
Never knowing
What they had.

Self absorbed;
The world of, Poor Me.
Never finding
The right way to see.
