needed weekends

Posted on December 5, 2017 by jaybeasley2
nicely spaced out conversations
each one revealing a bit of motivation
existing just to remind of what
decisions i came to a few years ago
ending the time where i
devote myself so someone i knew
would not like me as much as i like them
emitting the desire to only be near kind souls
even if that means putting mean ones out of thier misery
kingdoms, cottages, and caves
everyone has a home to return to
now that the end of the time of upheaval
died in the arms of a war that perished
so the citizens sing the praises of the land not the steel

abstract speaking

Posted on December 2, 2017 by jaybeasley2
across the air
beginning sounds of a
storm arriving and it is the kind
that makes me want to be out in it
rain and soft wind and a fog
as if the storm wants to kind of hide whoever
comes out and wanders around
thinking while simply
strolling through the surface of clouds
places you in a very specific mood
electric blue and a feel for breathing moisture
all heavy and wanting to slow down a step
kind of like a hangover without any drink
if we make it through this then
nothing can stop what the future can mean
giving up is not something i ever do

clouds mothering

Posted on December 2, 2017 by jaybeasley2
coming down the mountain
like a bat out of heaven
over the forest of silent faces
under those clouds which
dive deep in the valleys this time of year
some of the air connecting down
mountain tops keep all of its chill
only plants and animals saw
this shift in seasons long before it happened
hearts that sensed it before the minds
even thought about what was arriving
readiness that comes with a dose of excitement
i have been getting out the coats or socks
now i know what is coming like it or not
got to get the head on straight

returned situation

Posted on December 1, 2017 by jaybeasley2
relieved that things are
ever so slightly improving day by day
there were times i wondered how to get here
unbelievable how far you can fall
re-live mistakes or learn and grow forth
needlessly finding the areas that hurt
each day does not have to be a struggle
dare to walk that cliff edge
so that you can feel what others do
implied by the final minutes
that brought this series of thoughts around
unless the fast sadness fades
and takes with it the worries of the year
these hours will enjoy themselves
inspiration is a tool for the brain
on the occasion you have to express something
nearly every day this should be applied

stubborn anguish

Posted on November 30, 2017 by jaybeasley2
slow motion is what this day feels like
tormented by the face of a clock
under the watchful eye of mister sun
betrayed by the unavoidable yawn
beside my hand is a big full mug
on my face a frozen sleeping look
red cough syrup color are my eyes
no amount of caffeine will be enough today
as i try to look around i feel my eyelids fight
normally i could at least be able to
get the blood flowing and go
upward sitting and shaking off the shivers
it takes massive willpower just to keep aware
should the chance come up to have fun with you again
have to admit i wouldn’t hesitate

refuse cruel words

Posted on November 29, 2017 by jaybeasley2
remind the soul to smile
even if someone wants you to be unhappy
find that bit which makes you centered
utilize it when extremely needed
shift your thinking so that darkness loses
endure and inspire
cause it is the right thing to do
really could be as much for you as it can
uplift other people too
expect nothing and it is all good news from there
let me give you some positive words
when it seems life is a little too rough
only you can bring yourself out of the gutter
rivers of persistence run through your skin
doing your best to
stay true to the path meant for you

passion eviction

Posted on November 26, 2017 by jaybeasley2
prepared for the end of year
across the months
some on this day and a bit on sunday
should have seen the change
in where our devotion is directed
outside is where the momentum is calling
normal is a myth of society law
ending when the first warrior is
voted into power
if you blame something besides yourself, you admit
controlling yourself is not what you do
there is a weakness if you blame and don’t own up
include everyday in your list of gratefulness
only if you lose diligence do you become cruel
nobody can make me a mean person anymore

empathy required

Posted on November 25, 2017 by jaybeasley2
every day something else
makes me aware of the aches of the world
part of my amazement
always revolves around people
that cannot think of anyone besides themself
having the ability to feel for others
years ago was not quite so difficult
right now it is a dying skill and
empathy and apathy are diseases fighting
quietly allowing people’s kindness to perish
under the flames of big business and media
in the eye of glowing cold unfeeling blue screens
red sky from burning forests and water disasters
each day we are braced for new
drama thrust upon our shoulders by societal life

opportunity tested

Posted on November 23, 2017 by jaybeasley2
our dreams are like
playing with water balloons while
pacing back and forth on hot coals
out in the rest of the world we
realize how important the little things are
there are only so many
useable deeply important moments in a life
never can tell when those minutes arrive
inside our existences we know
those who are meant to impact will do so because
young and old all get the same hours in a day
times when people are meant for you become obvious
ever been so aware of time it becomes annoying?
still feel like you are always late for something
tasting the ability to plan without being driven crazy
evolve and embrace the
devotion that you should recieve

announced better

Posted on November 22, 2017 by jaybeasley2
across the land
near the ocean or by the mountains
nobody has a life that is without struggle
over all minds is this ability to
use your will power to persevere
now is the time to start a chain of
compassion to help those in need
end this tragedy by doing what is required
being open and kind to others
everyone is going through thier own troubles
take the time
to appreciate all these other lives
even when you are alone
remember the trials we all share
