groove back

when there is a break in the clouds

it can be a blessing or a disaster

like so many things in life

when the feeling of being

in the moment

let’s you know where you are at

like a lightning bolt

or a flower that is blooming

when the next page of the moon

or the calendar turns

like a car wreck

or a long hug from you

nobody sees the future

but we all know it is coming

yet nobody can change the past

But we all felt the impact

and important things

that escape my past

are as far from me as

smoke in the wind

but I love my family

and I have my inspiration

but that is all I need

and the change of nature says hello

I am still

here alive and kicking

light

letting loose for the evening

if a a challenge comes then I

got to make sure I rise to the occasion

had enough time to think

though nothing can help if

every night the same sadness occurs

normally things just work themselves out

essentially the problems make minds constantly ready

vital to being healthy and happy is

ending the need to only see the bad side of life

rally around the hope of good fortune

you can wish for help or you can go get it

there are changes in your direction in existence

having awareness enough to recognize them is

incredibly important

next time will be the quick turnaround

go to where you can get your mind right

wispy

after all

why not choose to smile

the sun is out but I can see my breath

the wind kicked up

the snow is coming down

there are no people out

and there is no

good reason to go outside

someone in my family died last week

the plants are all bent

the sky is Grey

someone I used to be good friends with

was shot last week and

she will live yet

the numb feeling is not the same

when the cold hits my face

and I am tired

I am sad

I am sore

I do not know anymore

where I was before

doing the same old thing is

not for me today

I gave up trying anyways

so I will just go back to bed

and try and forget

today even happened

better tomorrows

by now things should

equalize to being less on fire and

there are walls and valleys between us all

trained to be nice but still trust no one,

everyone exists on thier own little conundrum,

rising up to meet the puzzle and not even

taking time to observe all those around and drowning,

only the friendly or desperate take my calls,

might be time to start brand new once more,

overlooking the reasons I am not pulling the ripcord,

right now I pay not to put some blood on my sword,

rain reminds my from where I came,

only books and bottles in this room,

water from the clouds like a lullaby

showing up late to break the silence

close

can you see

everything through my eyes

like a lens you try out

on your personal perception camera

sight into an alternate point of view

end the staring at a wall type situation

jump the gun and break

under that roadblock of exact equation

daring and brave As a quickly placed final bet

growing in the understanding of being social

empty and testy are those who are not kind like me

maybe if I had more fear I could be more normal

exit strategy not required once more

nowhere is a choice

terminate the hesitations

show yourself that you can do it

a very modern death

while the wind wrestles

more leaves from the trees

and the doom curled in

so very naturally

each day I wake with

pain and each night I

go to sleep with pain

but the inspirational stories

just keep pouring in and out

like giant feeling of the tide

of the ocean that is my brain

and I will not rest until later in life

when the clock

will choose a block

and the final grains of sand

are gathering fast

within the hourglass

but I hope some of my

actions and words

can make a person’s day better

and that is what I strive to do

But the test is if

the red sunset will tell me

was it eventually the best

that I could be

and I gave everything I am

to you

drive

if the crush comes down you have to

stay strong and dig in your heels because

nobody knows what the final adventure is

until you are there and by then it is very often

too late after all when you want to know the

future it still has ways of surprising you but when

you don’t want to see ahead will be the time

that you wished you had yet the way of this

dimension shows again how little we know because

no life is perfect and no one departs without

a show but when it is your time it still comes across as

kind of a shock and the people who know you cannot

always predict how you are going to react but the

meaning of life is different for every person

also each day can show a totally new experience if you let it

it is not that hard to face each new speedbump

or roadblock once you look into the next few years

and see what you want

and then stomp that pedal

flow

dim

as I feel some days

often that is just a passing thought

Mostly just when I need to have confidence

it arrives with a backpack full of worry

nothing can stop me if I don’t want it to

attempt the impossible before I would give up

these goals aren’t going to accomplish themselves

empty nests and wild storms time of year

dedicated to lining up my polar bear family history

strong enough to push through whatever comes my way

yield to no problem and meet head on all objections

wacky waves don’t stop me and no person can either

the inanimate objects even watch out for me around here

end the frustration

make a new resistance

stay true to your story

now

trust yourself,

power on,

make sure the roadblocks were not made by you,

just do what you know you have to

in order to be you,

have a guard up because plenty

of people will try to drag you down,

treat those who are good to you

worth appropriate gratefulness and

treat those who are not good to you

with no attention,

prevent your mind from adopting

the negativity that is permeating the world

yet find the fire and fight,

break those legs of whomever

has their boots on your back,

take a vacation inside your brain,

find what inspires ,

play the song you want to sing ,

go out and plant that seed,

make up your mind to keep a dream,

break the mold,

show the people you will not do as you are told,

shower this existence with

your Neverending energy,

put your foot down hard

2024

these are the days when

right now

the definition of a world of hurt

is waiting

as soon as you wake

and the sun ain’t so fun

and the moon is too soon

and there is no

plan of action anymore

but you keep trudging on the road

like a long hike through a swamp

and the moments stretch like headaches

or a jog through quicksand

but you must keep on

every February has its October

and every January a December

watching the clock just hurts

but you must

keep on

keeping on

we all dirt nap eventually

find the good times
