2/9/23 Thoughts of the dead cc

Thoughts of the dead

Swirl around in my head

I'll give them up soon 

When I rot in  my tomb

And be with my folks

Or is that just a hoax

2/3/23 If you want to Do something Then you have to not Do something else cc

If you want to

Do something

Then you have to not

Do something else

It's calming to do the easy stuff

But work that brings change is usually tough

It's real easy to understand

That unplanned activity is like quicksand

It sucks you in and burns up your time 

If it's greatness you seek then it's a real crime

When next you figure what to do

Think and plan then follow through

We change our world one act at a time

Even if it's only with some stupid rhyme

If you want to

Do something

Then you have to not

Do something else

1/31/23 Create a Raging Curiosity cc

Create a

Raging

Curiosity

I used to think that I could know

But now I know it was just a show

Read and study think and plan

do it for your whole lifespan span

And when your old you may realize

That few among us are ever wise

The wisest thing that they can bestow

You will never know what you don't know

Create a

Raging

Curiosity

1/28/23 A bee on a Flower A leaf on a River cc

A bee on a 

Flower

A leaf on a

River

All we ever have is now

To sister fate we always bow

But still there's much that we can do

Most is routine but sometimes new

Smell the coffee watch the sunrise

This day may hold a great surprise

Some seed of wisdom in disguise

Take up some challenge work real hard

No one gets through this life unscarred

So watch the show with disregard

A bee on a

Flower

A leaf on a

River

1/25/23 Health is wealth Study and implement What you learn cc

Health is wealth

Study and implement

What you learn

Optimum health is a worthy goal

Without it you don't have much control

The most important ingredient is knowledge

The kind that's rarely taught in any college

Get lots of sleep and eat fresh food

Laugh, sing and stay in a good mood

Exercise for strength stamina and flexibility

Always be open to a new possibility

Planning, purpose and many good friends

Will help keep you healthy until it all ends

Health is wealth

Study and implement

What you learn

1/22/23 Have unshakable faith In the yet Unseen

Have unshakable faith

In the yet

Unseen

Every thing that we are taught

Started out as someone's thought

Electricity, plumbing,central heat

Television and movies what a treat

All the luxuries that we take for granted

Were once a thought seed someone planted

So dream big dreams and make a plan

Have unshakable faith and know you can

Every week there is something new

Change the future it's up to you 

Have unshakable faith

In the yet

Unseen

1/19/23 It takes as Long As it takes cc

It takes as 

Long

As it takes

I can't wait till I'm through

There's so much to do

Then 50 years flew by

As the end draws near

There's nothing to fear

I'll finish the plan

Whenever I can

If not              So what

Dead forever

Never to remember

All is well

It takes as

Long

As it takes

1/16/23 The mystery rages

 The mystery rages

Unchecked 

   How    Why    

   What to do next

  I should have some idea

I've  been here 30,384 days   

I used to know what to do 

Now I just

Gratefully

and

 Gleefully

                                              Savor this  brief 

                                       Mysterious experience

                                       

1/13/23 Always ready never prepared

Always ready 

Never prepared 

Studying and plan

For a whole lifespan 

Now it's time for some motion

 I'll start a commotion

Good lucks what happens when you're ready

 But nothing changes without working  steady 

I'll take one more shot we are all dead meat

 I might just wind up with something real neat

Always ready 

Never prepared

1/10/23. I am a Unfolding karmic Predicament cc

I am a
Unfolding karmic
Predicament

Sometimes I think I run this show
But then I realize I'm in a flow
Of past decisions and dumb reactions
Not much planning and many distractions
We must all pay the price that's asked
For acts and choices that have long past
I can think and dream and lay my plans
And still wind up failing most exams
I'll be joyous, grateful and see the humor
Even if it's just a prostate tumor

I am a
Unfolding karmic
Predicament

9/11/21 One more chance

One more

Chance

One more day on planet earth 

I'll be sure to fill it with joy and mirth

This may be the last one that I’ll know 

I'll stay awake and savor the show 

Almost 30,000 days have passed 

The mystery grows until the last 

There's so much new I want to learn 

And I have free time with no concern 

It's the blessing of old age

Maybe someday I'll become a stage 

One more

Chance

9/10/21 Attitude

The most important thing 

In my life 

Is within my power to change  

( my attitude )

It's so cold, I can't stand the heat 

My back always hurts and so do my feet 

But

There's gas in the car and great places to go 

Electric, plumbing and a plow for the snow 

Now

I will direct my thoughts to always be grateful 

Kind, present, humorous, and playful

The most important thing 

In my life 

Is within my power to change  

( my attitude )

8/23/21 Lost in the familiar cc

Lost in the

Familiar

One more day

Same old way

Winter is here

Springtime is near

Then summer again

I don't know when

It will come to an end

So be of good cheer

Laugh while you're here

You will soon disappear

Lost in the

Familiar

8/10/21 Mission cc

What is the next

Mission critical

Action

Always busy never thinking

My greatest asset always shrinking

Take some time and figure out

What the next step is all about

Forget all else and take the leap

And finish it before you sleep

Sometimes things change really fast

My largest dream may come to pass

And then what

Happiness? Fulfillment? World peace?

Or just old fashion eternal death

 

What is the next

Mission critical

7/29/21 the mystery

 

 Savor 

The mystery

I don’t know why

I don’t know how

All I really know is

I’ll never know 

And that I am incredibly grateful

To have this opportunity 

Of experiencing human life on the planet earth 

Now

Loving, learning, associating with others 

And living in our cozy little settlement 

On my grandfather’s potato field

A drop of time 

A stupid rhyme

I’ll savor the mystery

Till I’m just history

7/16/21 does this activity cc

Does this

Activity

Lead me to where

I want to be

No is the answer most of the time

All I do is sit and rhyme

Today I'll make a great bold list

Of all the things that I have missed

And one by one I'll cross them off

Then someday soon I'll sit and scoffed

At all the wasted time I spent

I'll learn from it without lament

Oh what great things I'll achieve

Or is this just one more chance to self deceive

Does this

Activity

Lead me to where

I want to be

7/14/21 know that you must die cc

Breathe deeply

And know that you 

Must die

If I knew it would be today

What wisdom would I convey

Study life and be kind

Always manage your busy mind

Be loving and grateful

Never act hateful

Get tough and resilient

But don't think that you're brilliant

All we have is just a little time

So write a song or some stupid rhyme

Breathe deeply

And know that you 

Must die

7/12/21 This shit ain't personal cc

I'm standing too close

This shit ain't personal

(Universal unfolding)

My shoulder hurts my feet are swollen

I got toe fungus and a iffie colon

North Korea has been shooting missiles

The dog came home with lots of thistles

Life is better than has ever been

Garden greens and eggs from our hen

Electric, heat and indoor plumbing

Coffee, wine and the checks keep coming

I'll stand way back and watch the show

Be kind, gentle and stay in the flow

I'm standing too close

This shit ain't personal

(Universal unfolding)

 

Destiny 7/5/21 cc

Does this brick 

Fit in

The wall I'm building

(Destiny)

Almost all the things we do

Cast a shadow out of view

It's all the small things that add up

Like a little sugar in each coffee cup

Draw something each and every day

In a decade or two you'll have a display

Graduation, marriage or divorce

Well put us on a different course

So I'll consider the choices I make

And hope that it's not just another mistake

Does this brick

Fit in

The wall I'm building

(Destiny)

Candlelight 6/30/21 ss

Today

A one time candlelight

In the

Dark silence of time

Our rooster is crowing and it's not yet dawn

What adventure will this day spawn

Start the coffee, feed the pets

Saver life without regrets

I'll spin a rhyme and make a list

Of all the undone things I have missed

This may be the last so I'll do my best

To stay loving, peaceful without  regret

Life gets better every year

As I realized there's not much to fear

Today

A one time candlelight

In the

Dark silence of time
