I see hidden things
I'm looking into my soul
What should I see there

It is intimidating
It is impressive to view

To actually see
You're own true identity
You're very own self

Is it worth the look to see
To see who you really are

To feel your own soul
Open and vulnerable
Opened for viewing

Take the time to see inward...

There is no other
The one and only is you
You are my soul mate

Life with you is fulfilling
How did I get so lucky

Promise me today
There will be a tomorrow
Promise me today....

Life turns with you there
When are you not my side
Life turns the wrong way

Promise me today
There will be a tomorrow
Promise me today....

Let's begin our day
Have you started to wake up
Pour yourself a cup

Pour yourself a cup of Joe
Put yourself on the alert

Do you use sugar
Do you prefer milk or cream
I enjoy mine black

Oh,  Good Morning...

The one true thing in life is this
We are not getting out of here alive
Not one single living thing is exempt
We, as humans, do not plan for the end game
The journey towards this goal should be planned
Play, education, work, stress, family,
Illness, retirement and lastly, leaving our earthly boundaries
Is that so hard?
Yes it is....!

The place where love lives is many
Love is unlike other emotions
It can be found in unheard of places
But always in the heart ❤️

Brian Hill - 2019 # 205

There comes a time in everyone’s life
That time has come for many of you
Many of you believe that there is an after
An after where others are waiting
Waiting for you to come into view
A view that is unknown
Unknown till you arrive
Arrive at your lost car
Your car at the airport seems to be missing
You will find IT!
Maybe...!

Brian Hill - 2019 # 204

As the sun rises over the tops of the trees
It appears to be yawning
Yawning and stretching out it's beaming arms
Stretching out to share the warmth and love
The warmth and love that is needed by everyone, every day
Everyone that is ready for what the new day will bring...
Do you feel it?

Brian Hill - 2019 # 202

The hole to heaven is a place here on earth
It’s filled with color and all things of worth

To see it at all, you at least have to look
It’s right there in the front, not behind that old nook

Open up and imagine what it all seems to mean
If it's not quite in focus, is it really unseen

Birds, clouds, and rain could be the real hole
Mountains, cars and planes are a few more I’m sure

I believe it's important to try, try, and try
It's not a belief, or up in the sky

It's not what you see that makes up the hole
It's how you see it that creates the pure goal

Brian Hill - 2019 # 201

Those pesky flies will land on your glasses
And buzz your face till your insane

There always seems to be nothing but masses
It much too hard to maintain

What to do, oh what to do
How can you even relate

All you can do, to see this thing through
Is expect, that you are the fly bait...

Brian Hill - 2019 # 199

Hummingbird, Hummingbird, buzzing around
So dainty and delicate with wings so unwound

How you can do it, with speed and such grace
Hovering and darting with a snappy fast pace

Seeing you land is a rare sight I think
Then I saw why you're frantic and gave you a wink

Your nest was well hidden, by the pine cone on the tree
Your secret is safe and I'll just let you be....

Brian Hill - 2019 #198

Nature can be, savage or kind
Which way does it go; can it be defined

A young toad was trapped by a sprinkler today
His life could have ended and be swept away

I noticed him there and expected him to hop
He was stuck I could see and I needed to stop

The mower, would and could have, swallowed him up
Had I not looked his way and stopped so abrupt

His leg was trapped in a sprinkler retract
In came down quite hard with a vicious impact

I was able to raise it and help the toad out
His pour leg looked broke, in that there's no doubt

I hope that he lives and heals up real quick
I'm glad I could help, the toad I named Rick...!

Brian Hill - 2019 # 197

Pour the coffee please
Coffee wakes up the senses
I need the black bean

Dry roasted and pressed
Ground to make the very best
Energizing beans

Brian Hill - 2019 # 196

Leave it Open...

Have you left your mind wide open
Is there things that must be spoken
Remember life here is a balance
We all have lots of talents
Those talents are ours to share
And sharing can make you aware
Being aware of others skills
Can lead you to life changing thrills....

Brian Hill - # 194

Love is a splendor
A splendid thing to behold
Spread some love today

Forget the sadness
Sadness has no place today
Let it go for love

Forget the hatred
Put the hatred behind you
Let it go for love

Forget depression
Smile the depression away
Let it go for love

Spread some love today...

Brian Hill - 2019 # 193

Talk about timing
Without it, we would be late
Late to everything

Who wants to be late
Do you desire to be late
That's what timing is

Be on time today
Surprise everyone you know
It will surprise you

Brian Hill - 2019 # 191

I hear this quote all of the time
You don't know, what you don't know
(Thanks Leslie)
There is not a more true quote out there
It's words to live by for sure
Learning for the sake of just knowing is powerful...
Try to put this into your life

Brian Hill - 2019 # 190

Every morning I put words together
The words are supposed to have meaning
The meanings are to be felt by you
The feelings of the words should be personal to you
Each of you looks at the words from a different view
The view is vast and endless
And so it goes on....
The endless and vast world of words

Brian Hill - 2019 # 189

Morning colors change
They change with the morning sun
The morning sun reigns

It's fiery beams
It's setting within the clouds
It's warmth coming through

Brian Hill - 2019 # 188

Reflections can be seen in our everyday lives
They stare, they ingnore, they reflect
They appear to be in the opposite world
Reflections are looking back at you
Reflections are creating another balance of what is there
Is the reflection you see real
The mirror, the lake, the mist, the camera, your eyes
These are the tools of reflection capture
Are they to be trusted...

Brian Hill - 2019 # 187

The sun is rising and peaking in amongst the misty morning clouds
The rains, from last night, left the air pure and dust-free
Rays of light, penetrating that mist leaving bright and clear shadows on the peaks of the western mountains
Nature has a way of presenting each new day
Each new day has a way of delivering a new experience
That new experience will help someone today
Someone today will witness a new beginning
The new beginning that a new morning will bring

Brian Hill - 2019 # 185

Do you find yourself needing
Needing things that don't make sense
Sensical things that don't need to be needed
Needing is a human need I think
Thinking of things to un-need is a goal
A goal that I shouldn't need....

Here is the time where my brain exploded AGAIN!

Brian Hill - 2019 # 184

The intentions were
To guide you through life's pathway
Where did it lead you

Did it guide you well
The pathway seemed to be bright
You brought love to all

Brian Hill - 2019 # 182

How could anything get in the way
Get in the way of this mystery
The mystery relationship
The mystery relationship that I had no clue of
I had no clue because I was not present
I was not present and even awake
How could this relationship be real
Being real would mean that I was happy
Was I ever happy
Was I ever present
Was I even alive
Not sure
Not sure
I wonder.....

Brian Hill - 2019 # 181

Why are you waiting
There is a wonderful world
Wonderful to all

We can understand
The beauty of today's world
Eyes open to see

Closed eyes will not see
Will not see the colors here
The dark will be known

Is that what you want
Or is your desire to see
With eyes wide open?

Brian Hill - 2019 # 180

Who out there has beans in their ears
The beans could be brains, they don't make it clear

Where did they come from, I want to know
Will they come out, I really hope so

Are the beans put there by your very own Teacher
I don't think so, maybe it was the Preacher

Are they put there for any kind of cause
Who knows for sure, it makes one take pause

I know I was told not to put them there
That's all I remember, I thought I would share....!

Brian Hill - 2019 # 179
This song is real people...
Who remembers?

The icicle slowly melted
It slowly melted in the afternoon sun
Melting while hanging off the rain gutter
Letting go of a small portion of its essence
Essence, that in the end, would be gone
Gone to create another form of its previous self.....

Brian Hill - 2019 # 178

I remember a lot of really good things
Like the time I had my very own swing

It was rope and wood and hung from a tree
It was always there to help me be free

I would swing so high I could see the next street
Back and forth with my legs to go higher was a treat

Sometimes I would be brave and try a big jump
Flying through the air and land with a thump

Oftentimes, that trick would really really work
Sometimes, however, it really really hurt

I like looking back to simpler times
When the fun was fun and it wasn't a crime

When people we're people and jokes we're jokes
No one got mad at what life did provoke...

Brian Hill - 2019 # 177

The question is time
Will time always be around
Around to help

To help see the past
To help see future events
Helping be on time...

Using correct time
***** for people who are late
Being late is wrong...

Use time as a friend
Be able to be on time
Timely people rule...!

Brian Hill - 2010 # 176

Watching my ever-present life go by
Going by, just wondering what's next
Next, is so important to, well
What's next....?

Brian Hill - 2019 # 175

The wind slowly lifted its Find into the sky
Swirling it around and around as it gathered momentum
Momentum that helped the Find raise higher
Higher and higher till it was rolling and sky bouncing
Bouncing through the air as if it were trying to see
Trying to see the nature of the wind that held it afloat
Afloat so high and with such gentleness
Gentleness that only nature can fool you into believing
Believing the journey would never end
The Find was wrong
As suddenly as the Find was lifted to great heights it began to fall
And fall it did...

Brian Hill - 2019 # 174

—-?—-

How
How would
How would you
How would you know
How would you know that
How would you know that what
How would you know that what you
How would you know that what you were
How would you know that what you were about
How would you know that what you were about to do
How would you know that what you were about to do would
Would, be the end of this poem....
How would you know?

Brian Hill - 2019 # 173

Is there an answer
The question has more to it
How many answers

You can question me
I may not have an answer
Will you understand

All subjects have one
Helps with knowing the subject
Understanding this

What was the question
Did the answer, answer it
Not sure if it did....

Brian Hill - 2019 # 172

You do have a choice, to make it your own
Do what you choose, you won't be alone
What do you think, when you think that you can
Is your thought, too hard, Or do you do it as planned
I say just do it, Don't be afraid
The fact that you did, could it leave you amazed?

Brian Hill - 2019 # 171

Sounds awaken you
Listen to the morning song
In the near distance

Sounds of the new day
Sounds of cars rolling along
Sounds of dogs speaking

Sounds coming at you
Coming from unseen frontiers
To awaken you...

Ode to Dogs...To Dylan

Playtime is what it sounds like
But the methods of play can change
Sometimes it's the ball, but oh my God
It's often, quite often, really strange

They run and run then plop on the ground
Panting away all their stress
They rise up and bark, then run some more
And that wears us out, I confess

How do they do it, I want to know
Stealing our hearts so complete
It's as if they know and require so little
And that fact, I know, is concrete

They sometimes require a patient hand
And sometimes that hand is stern
They learn so much and love so hard
What can we give back in return

All they do is love us,
And all they want is our joy
To know it is so simple,
Has to be some kind of ploy

Dogs are special, in all sorts of way
From service to the saving of lives
How could one such creature have all of these traits
And not even stop to think twice

To say your dog is family
Is always the way go
They come to our lives in so many ways
But leaving is harder you know

They do not fear much of anything
Except fireworks and thunder for sure
Death is not, something they fear
Because life to them is so pure

When it's time for them to leave us
And go over ”The Rainbow Bridge”
The fear of dying is not on their mind
It's the journey they take to the edge

Brian Hill - 2019 # 166
Dedicated to Dylan, (blue scarf) our 13 1/2 year old Goldlendoodle who went over the rainbow bridge today
1/31/2006 - 7/8/2019

There is an orange glow to the morning clouds
This is the dawn of your next day
Got plans?

Brown Hill - 2019 # 168

Being trapped in your own head
Being inside that small little box of crazy thoughts
Crazy thoughts that are controlling you
Controlling your actions, your vision, your sight
What is going on within this space
I'm surrounded with surface to mind missiles
Missiles that are being launched at the very core of my psyche
My once, sain psyche, has been riddled with oddly soothing thoughts
Thoughts that I believe I could enjoy if I could only accept
Accept the new and strange patterns of the mind-numbing weirdness
Weirdness so overwhelming that, my little mind box, is about to overload
I need to wake up...!
Hahaha

Brian Hill - 2019 # 167

How do you explain
Is there an explanation
Explain it to me...

Brian Hill - 2019 # 166

When things come around
And make a change in your life
Turnaround and see

Turnaround and wait
Sometimes you are not ready
Sometimes they are sad

Turnaround and act
Acting on the turnaround
Is often very hard...!

Brian Hill - 2019 # 165

Is there time in our life to have
To have that extra
That extra something
That extra something that makes us smile
That smile that creates a happier self
A self that gladly spreads the happiness along
Along to others
Others that without that smile
Without that smile, they would be
Well, they would be frowning
Who wants to be frowning when everyone else is smiling...
Just saying

Brian Hill - 2019 # 164

Chances of a lifetime come more than you think
Some arrive so fast that you can't even blink
Without any warning, you have to decide
If this chance is worth it, or just let it slide

If you put your desires out into life's space
The chance it will happen, increase with great pace
Try it and see, but patience is required
Sometimes the results are not really desired...

Both sides of chances are running around
Be careful what you wish for, it might just be found...

Brian Hill - 2019 # 163

Hello Sunshine...

Hello sunshine, where have you been
It's great to have you back again
With all the warmth and comfort you give
With all the light and beauty helping us live
To all the wonders of your power and your force
We stay the course

In the evening when you go away
Dropping sunbeams with a trace of gray
Then the you set, with colors gracing our eyes
Leaving our skies

There's darkness where light had been
Hoping that you will come again

Waiting for the bus to arrive
Hoping to go away and thrive
Seeing the world in other places
Wanting to be in different spaces

Learning about all kinds of things
Searching around to see what it brings
Having the chance to see life dance
Maybe, just maybe, take a whole new stance

Life has ways to move right along
I want to be there to learn its new song
It's been so long that I could be free
The happy inside just wants to see...

Brian Hill - 2019 # 161

The sun is gone now, where has it been
I wonder if it will ever come back again

The world is changing and we don't know why
Was it that storm that blew out the sky

The rain and winds blew in massive waves
The climate changed in what seemed like days

The ice caps melted so very, very fast
The oceans rose and the water amassed

We are lost and the world is broken today
Warnings were there but we thought it cliche

This could happen, you bet it could
Climate change is here and it's not for the good
