I have resolved
the importance of real
The real keep it realistic
they tend to be respectful
they easily refrain from judging
They are refreshing and restore the rather cool way of being
There's no rage no requirement
its to be at a real state of being
rather then living in continuous frustration and in competition
It's remembering to keep it simple
Start each day to restore and revive
Reality keeps us from rendering ourselves ridiculously out of control
Living real is rousing stimulating
So keep it rad keep it relative

In swirling clouds of silver frost
The disk of Luna lies concealed
Across the Autumn sky they race
Over this shadow realm surreal
🌀
On this evening shadows now, I gaze
A gentle wind swirls through the trees
From depths of sleep, I watch half-dazed
Tiny branches stirring in the breeze
🌀
Lights are flickering neath mystic skies
Through gaps in trees, they shine within
Entranced is my mind as,I watch surprised
This spectral beauty in the wind
🌀
In dark shadows spirits are adrift
Translucent ghosts and dryads old
From this beach I sense their gifts
Strange stories from these woods untold
🌀
Oh let me join thy fest
spirits of this beautiful night
Before the Moon sets in the east
revel her misty light.

As I start to reflect
I begin to see a part of
life , I missed
It went on by
without saying hi
I had no clue it was there
I had no clue I might miss it
So here I am figuring it out
There's no way to say it
But I hope I can share it
I hope I can give it away
this life lesson
Maybe someone will
See it and stop it from
walking by and miss it
Then maybe they can
live it and enjoy it
and not regret
on this life lesson
Instead to reflect
on the fun they had
the cool things the did
And the life they lived
..For that's what I hope to
achieve from this
walk down memory lane
To what I missed those years
that walked on by
So there it is
my life lesson

This cold is draining my energy..
My bones ache
I feel so frigid
Like I will break
I long to feel the warmth
Warm me to sweat
I chatter I shiver
I cannot handle it much longer
Long winter weather
just makes me shrill
My body cannot wait
much longer
Needing and dreaming
of the warmer weather
If it lasts much longer
I fear I'll need longer to thaw
I add more clothes
It does not help
I try this and that
It's no use
I'm becoming a permanently frozen human

It's all what we make it
It's all up to how we deal
You can just give up
Or you can put your **** in gear
Face it fearlessly
Tear through it
Ride that ***** like a bull
Grab those horns
Rise above
Let yourself see your success
See yourself succeed
Now that's how to deal

It all feels so lost
Lost in doubt
Lost without hope
It has come to this
It had such promise
We all were striving
We all were learning
We were all getting along
Today it's violence
A shooting here
A overdose there
A homeless camp on the news
Why has it come to this
Why do we just act like sheep
Where's our strength
What has happened to us all
Its feels we have lost
It feels we are hopeless
It makes me feel so sick
All I can do is take care of me
And try to be safe
In a world that's lost its way
