One Day It Will Be Over

I wish I didn’t take life so seriously.
It has gotten me nowhere but sick and confused.
I wish I had lived more and had given more to
Family. I wish I had a healthier view
Of my life. Were it not real I would be amused.
If I died tomorrow who then would bury me?

I wish I hadn’t given up on my dream so
Easily. One day life will flash before my eyes.
To make sure it’s worth watching becomes my life’s goal.
Had my purpose been aligned with that of my soul
Then I’d have been empowered, I now realize.
I wish I’d given my soul the freedom to grow.

Did my life mean anything to this world? Was I
Love by others? Did I love? And does it matter?
When I’m on my death bed I will not be concerned
About money, status, or degrees that I’ve earned.
All the hopes, dreams, and wishes of life will shatter.
What can I do to serve this world before I die?

I can make my life matter. It isn’t empty
Of the passion I once had. I still have wonder
For this whole life experience. I cannot take
It for granted and by becoming more awake
To my purpose I shall not be cast asunder
By the frightened and limited aspects of me.

The World Really Is Round

Aug29

There are on average two mass shootings per day
In this country. We are already violent
And we need education on our history.
Now in Florida children are taught slavery
Was just fine even though people suffered torment.
We were born with injustice and that’s just our way.

The insane circus taking place clearly reflects
The ill health of this nation’s heart. Threats are the way
That people now communicate. The biggest one
Is of civil war where everyone has a gun
Like the wild west. It’s hard to find good things to say
About us. We’re a story not all that complex.

The south never conceded. We’re at war right now
And will be until we change fundamentally.
War will be waged in courtrooms and legislatures
As belief in a workable process endures.
The republicans are the confederacy
As the union becomes democratic somehow.

But the earth is round. The orange buffoon is guilty.
Vaccines work and the Holocaust really occurred.
The south will not rise up again. Misogyny
And racism will not take over this country.
All proud oath keeping bigots are only one third
Of the populace which brings some relief to me.

Every Morning

Aug20

Separate you are never from where you come from
Which is spirit. You always have that connection
And because you are a spiritual being
You’re aware that your spirit is overseeing
Everything that you’re doing. It overlooks none
Of your actions. To its nature you can succumb.

When you’re running with nature, your morning routine
Need not be all that structured. Your day can begin
As it does usually but being aware
Of the day’s doing is a different affair.
It’s like taking your brand new car out for a spin.
Consciously you’re creating your driving machine.

Ceremony and ritual help to create
Mindfulness. In silence you can do as you please.
Simple things that you do at the start of your day
Can be done with emotion. It will pave the way
To a day most fulfilling with relative ease.
Take the time you need to get yourself feeling great.

Like a life review when the soul leaves the body,
You can have your own day review as it begins.
You intend things to go well. You want to be kind
To yourself and all others. You want peace of mind
At the day’s end and just as this lovely earth spins
Perfectly in its orbit, yourself you must be.

This Day Is Yours

Aug16

Congratulations! This is your day to let go
Of the past and the future and contemplate on
What right now has to offer. It’s such a fine day
For relaxing and letting the stress fade away
That’s built up over time. You can let it be gone.
You have much control over how this day will flow.

Review your expectations without memories
Of things that didn’t happen the way you preferred.
You will only bring them over into today.
Instead let inspiration guide you on your way
To wherever your heightened consciousness is stirred
To more clarity. This day you can take with ease.

Though you may or you may not be able to tell
How your expectations do materialize
You ought to take life easy and go with the flow
Of the provident universe. It wants to show
How much it can fulfill you so it is most wise
To line up with its purpose then you will do well.

It’s not anyone else’s. This day is for you
To do with as you wish. You may find true meaning
In your moments of solitude. You may become
An enlightened one. All of your power comes from
Your awareness of now. Forces are convening
For your welfare. There’s nothing much you need to do.

What Does It Say About Us?

Jul23

There are one hundred thousand homeless children in
The United States. Children in this country go
Everyday to schools that don’t have enough supplies
To teach them to read, and it comes as no surprise
That if children don’t read by eight then they won’t grow
Properly. At the game of life they will not win.

Chances of high school graduation are decreased
As the chances of incarceration increase.
What Does This Say About Us? We seem more concerned
With our own childhood traumas. Our children are spurned
By this selfish behavior. How can we find peace
In our hearts? We don’t care about them in the least.

Millions of American children go to school
Everyday asking teachers, “Do you have any
Food for me?” We have children on suicide watch
In our schools. It appears that we’ve dropped down a notch
…Or a billion. Wake up to the reality
Of what’s happening to children that isn’t cool.

Traumatized before preschool, some children live in
What’s called ‘domestic war zones’ where PTSD
Is a serious issue because violence
They experienced. They had no means of defense.
What does it take to get many people to see
What work needs to be done and just how to begin?

Today Is Yours

May28

The weird thing about time is that it comes and goes.
Tomorrow will make today just a memory.
Many months go by. They seem like weeks, and the days
Are like hours. Life’s velocity heavily weighs
On your conscience. You may miss out on the beauty
Of the moment with worry about how time flows.

You have the ability to write history –
To create a new story that will live with you
Forever. Think back to all the days leading up
To today. It is okay to drink from the cup
Of past blessings and all the dreams that have come true
And be thankful that you made it all come to be.

All the training and hours spent in preparation
For this moment are like a positive force field
Of protection. It’s good to feel safe and secure
You have done everything that you need to ensure
Your wellbeing. What you need to do is revealed
To you by the divine source of all creation.

Let the universe tell you that life is just fine
Now that you have discovered your place in the sun.
The world may have told you that you are not worthy
Of becoming the person that you want to be,
But let that be your reason to let everyone
Know that you are worthy because you are divine.

I Will Do It

May25

Success is often not a loud event. It’s those
Silent walks to the gym or the lonely commutes
To and from work, the early mornings and late nights
You put in that will guarantee you will reach heights
Undreamed of. It is one of your major pursuits
To be someone who in your world everyone knows.

You’re creating yourself which is a masterpiece
Like a rock with rough edges. Every morning you
Fight the urge to stay in bed. You’re chipping away
At the roughness as you continue through your day
In alignment with your positive point of view.
Faithfully your confidence will greatly increase.

Over a period of time, you begin to
Form that masterpiece. Those who succeed are lucky
Because they’ve become driven to create what they
Know they can. In a world of ambition they stay.
The harder they work, the luckier they will be.
There’s no doubt that their most cherished dreams will come true.

You can get into the habit of giving more
Than you’re paid. You can set standards that others will
Be measured by. Do not go where the path may lead.
Go where there’s no path and leave a trail. You’ll succeed
At whatever you’re after. Don’t let up until
You’ve achieved what you have been working so hard for.

Everything That Happens Is A Lesson

Apr11

How do I not feel bad when bad things do take place
Like disasters and hate crimes? Do I just ignore
My emotions completely? That doesn’t seem right.
I do not have an insatiable appetite
For adverse situations, yet I would be more
Of an android if tragedy I didn’t face.

When bad things happen out there, I can either get
A good lesson from it, or I could play the role
Of the innocent victim. The choice is my own.
There’s no dark quandary into which I am thrown.
If I ponder the lesson, I will be made whole.
If the victim I do play, I will know regret.

People may do things to me. It’s how I react
To what’s done that’s the difference between being
A fully functioning person or a victim.
The latter only leads to a future that’s dim.
I may kick myself in the butt for not seeing
The big picture and from it all I can extract.

If something that has happened has made me feel bad,
Then why did it wait until I knew about it?
The fact is that I make my own self feel this way.
Bad things happen. That’s life. It’s up to me to play
Life in a way that is to my full benefit.
I may find that my teacher is my best comrade.

More Reasons To Feel Good

Feb9

A flowing stream of happiness starts off my day.
I’m awake. I have reemerged into this world
That is full of such wonder. I bask for a while
And consider those things that will cause me to smile.
My knob of feeling is appropriately knurled
So that I have a firm grip on life’s cabaret.

No matter where I’m going or what I’m doing,
It is my dominant intent to look for things
That feel good. When I feel good, my higher power
I vibrate with. The good life I want to devour.
I know that my feeling good ultimately brings
Into my life experience every good thing.

I’m in harmony with that which I consider
To be good. I am in the mode of attracting,
But it’s just good to feel good. Positive aspects
I look for all around me. Indeed, it connects
Me to my higher power. I am reacting
To its infinite guidance. It’s sure to occur.

Negative emotion comes up once in a while.
It means that I am focused on something that I
Do not want. I remember then that I want to
Feel my best. This will usually get me through
What’s already in motion. I don’t have to try
To do anything that doesn’t pay with a smile.

The Fastest Path To Happiness

Jan25

What’s the fastest path right here, right now where I am
To my happiness? This question is a good one
To consider – but not “How can I get happy?”
What’s the surest and quickest way that will lead me
To a state of eventual satisfaction?
The question is part of a consciousness exam.

If I’m in despair, then revenge is the next thing
I should reach for. I can’t get from there to sheer bliss.
What can I recognize where I am that will ease
The bad feeling? In other words, how can I seize
Some relief from the realm of the horrid abyss?
The emotional spectrum is worth traversing.

From revenge into anger, and then frustration
Is the way to move forward toward happiness.
Once I reach hopefulness, I am well on the way
To the joy that awaits me. I don’t want to stay
Negative more than needed. I want to express
The best self that I can offer to everyone.

What can I use as my excuse to feel better
Right where I am this moment? Appreciation
Goes a long way in feeling better here and now.
My awareness of how I’m feeling does allow
Much control in the process. I like having fun.
There is nothing to living the life I prefer.

The Creative Process

Nov4

Creation happens always. There is not a rest
To be taken. It maintains its cyclic process
Constantly. The first thing that is meant to occur
Is your thinking and asking for what you prefer
Of the universe. It will provide nothing less
Than complete satisfaction that’s fully expressed.

What happens then is that the universe collects
Cooperative components to yield to you
Through the path of least resistance what you desire.
Entities unknown to us convene and conspire
To support your intentions. All you need to do
Is feel good in its happening in all respects.

Through appreciation and through meditation
You can reach that state where you’re able to receive
Inspiration that guides you. In your bag of tricks
Are the tools that are needed in order to fix
Resistant momentum. It is when you achieve
Contentment with you’re here and now you become one.

Trying to make things happen will happen much less
When you’re in alignment with who you really are.
If you are entertained by the things that you do
Then the blessings of the universe come to you.
Be content in the knowing that you can’t stray far
From the path that will lead to pleasure in success.

Visualize

Oct12

Take a break from the fake world and deal with the real
World that you have control of within your own mind.
Embark on an adventure for just a short while.
Get away from environments bleak and hostile.
In serene solitude is the place you will find
Your contentment. You know it’s a state most ideal.

Use your imagination and visualize
Something you do most often, like taking a stroll
Through the woods. As you’re walking down your chosen trail,
Feel the gravel beneath your feet. Every detail
Of your journey is all about taking control
Of the moment. It is done by those who are wise.

Step by step you will narrate your experience.
Fill your lungs with the crispness you feel in the air.
Notice life. As you see it, give it your blessing.
It is your consciousness that you are expressing
To the environment. Nothing can quite compare
To your image. The pleasure you get is immense.

Make your visualization so real that you’re
Subconscious mind cannot tell any difference
Between it and reality. Thought energy
Is now imprinted upon your reality.
Life gets good as you learn to control the suspense
On your journey which you have not traveled before.

Your Relationship With Time

Jul18

It is so often heard, “Work smarter, not harder.”
It means work more holistically. Time you save
In the heat of excitement, but when you feel low
There is never enough time. It all seems to go
To the ethers, yet to it you feel like a slave.
Getting things done efficiently you would prefer.

My survival depends on positive thinking.
By a thread I am hanging, so time is for me
A big oncoming tornado in slow motion.
For my writing I have tremendous devotion.
It keeps me from disintegrating completely.
On a rather thin sheet of ice I am skating.

There’s a ‘kit’ of excitement inside everyone.
It is one that contains a plethora of tools.
One of them is ‘synchronicity.’ Excitement
Causes you to work gracefully, and the time spent
Doing what’s needed quickens all your molecules
So that less time is needed for getting things done.

The tool of synchronicity is of value
In your life that seems busy and out of control.
It’s an organizing principle you can use
To mend your relationship with time if you choose.
Getting what you need done makes you feel well and whole.
Time is something that is created within you.

Forget Bad Memories

Mar22

It was gross and traumatic – all that I went through.
Memories still catch up with me no matter where
I decide is a good place to block them away.
Deep inside me where they don’t belong they will stay.
Am I worthy enough to relive my despair?
Is there some way that I can live my life anew?

In the present, the past is created by me.
To better wrap my head around this, I accept
That everything is here and now. What I can’t do
Is invalidate what I don’t like. It is true
That I must come from a neutral place. What is kept
That is of no use can be released completely.

If I’m putting too much emphasis on the pain,
I must know that I do have the power to choose
To unlock from the feelings that I don’t prefer.
Putting my focus elsewhere, relief will occur.
Otherwise I will be open to self-abuse.
Logic dictates the choice if I’ve not gone insane.

It really doesn’t matter what happens – only
What I do with what happens that determines how
I will deal with the future. Toxic memories
Linger as long as needed until my heart sees
Past my old belief systems. If I can allow
Some relief in this moment, much better I’ll be.

Top Priority

Jan13

If you saw someone in the street bleeding you would
Give them aid and assistance, but when one behaves
In a negative manner, you want to scold them
Into better behavior. Or you may condemn.
As society maintains psychotic enclaves
What can tell if the therapy does any good?

People scold themselves into better vibration.
This too is an act that is unnecessary.
Soothe yourself into the alignment that you need.
Tell yourself how well things are, and in that be freed
From the worry and wrongness that happens to be.
Be a positive influence on everyone.

Do tend to the frequency of that which is you
Since it equals your point of attraction always.
Be aware of how you feel and watch what comes back.
Somewhere between abundance and feelings of lack
Is your movable setpoint. If you live in praise
Of the good that is happening, much you can do.

What is coming next you can know well in advance
By the way you are feeling at any moment.
Feel your way to something that is better than now.
You can temper the urgency if you allow
Your true self to support your natural ascent.
You have much control over every circumstance.

The Creative Process

Jan9

Many colors and textures the canvas does hold.
The artist creates magic for the world to see.
From the contrast there is more asking and thinking
One evaluates how the mix of everything
Is conveyed to the seer who is more than free
To interpret its meaning which is manifold.

When you ask for something then the source with you
Through the Law of Attraction puts things into place
That will lead you right to it if you will allow
Your resistance and worry to lessen somehow.
You can know the existence of God’s loving grace
By your conscious awareness in all that you do.

But whatever way you can find to tune into
The frequency of who you are is justified
There are methods available to do just that.
The most useful ones offer a simple format.
Meditate and appreciate and do abide
By the guidance within you. That’s all you must do.

Be ready to be ready to be ready for
All the good that awaits you. You were born to be
Asking and receiving in real time every day
And like learning to dance, you will practice your way
Until you find your rhythm most naturally.
The fine art of creation you’ll come to adore.

Morning Affirmation

Jan8

My! Last night was a blessing. I slept really well.
This moment I embrace with every part of me.

It’s a miracle waiting to happen with ease.
I anticipate what waits for me anxiously.
It will be magnificent from what I can tell.

Every moment of this day is marked for content.
I look forward to having this new day to play.

Human Potential

Nov4

Human beings are swinging like a pendulum
Between animal nature and divinity.
One moment, we are civil; the next, we are mean.
As long as the wild beast we are clearly is seen,
Our ascension spiritually cannot be.
Extinction by our own hands may be the outcome.

Processes fundamental conceived to dissolve
What is animal in us offer much relief
And a balance most vital to us as a race.
As we rise in the morning, the kingdom we face
Is of lack and survival. The worst of our grief
Penetrates to the soul, and we cannot evolve.

We’re the dog, bird, and snake, and all creatures below
On the rungs of life’s ladder as earth is its home.
After some work and practice, if someone pokes me,
The dog will cease its biting and be completely
In alignment not with the old stressful syndrome
But with peace and compassion – a winning combo.

It must happen in every human being, though.
When the rugged wild creatures that we have become
Do not find dissolution the natural way
We create our own hell that we are doomed to pay.
Animals become restful by beating the drum
Of connection and awesome potential to grow.
