Wispy Wind...
Bhill Sep 2019
As the chilled breeze wisps across my covered face
I think about the life I've led and wonder
I wonder if somewhere along the path I wronged anyone
Anyone that crossed that path
Anyone that bid me hello or goodbye
Anyone that could have or should have made a difference

Not at all sure why this particular moment and this particular wispy wind has brought such thoughts to my senses
All I know is that thinking so deeply gives birth to the heightened awareness of my faults and weaknesses
What to do
What to do

Did you see that Moon!
Bhill May 2019
Oh, the moon is at it again
What, you ask
It’s hanging around in its lofty space
Its place in the sky above us
Above us gleaming in whiteness, with the desert sky being its playground
The whiteness is disrupting the dark desert sky with uncanny brilliance
Brilliance so vibrant, and, well, bright and full
Its fullness outshines all other objects near its path
All other heavenly partners take second place when the moon is in this phase

Ahhhhh, I love this place called the desert...

Brian Hill - 2019#123
Inspired by the moon....  Of course!
The desert sky never disappoints...

How?
Bhill Sep 2019
How do you know
Was it ever enough
What thundered feeling into your life
Did the accepted circumstances ****** you
You were always outside of the limited space
Limited by the imprisoning power of mindless perceptions

How did you know?

Life vs Light

Is there life at the end of the tunnel
Everyone is always looking for the light
I think you have to find the tunnel first

Storm
Bhill Nov 2019
We were expecting so much more
The weather report said it would just pour
The clouds came in and it started to roar
The winds followed next and left it's own score
The thunder made due as it rolled out its snore
The storm was here and it wanted much more

It wasn't as bad as the weather report
The storm sort of fizzled and ran a bit short
It laid down some snow with a hint of haze
It could have been worse as the report displayed
The scare was gone as the storm blew out
Back to clear weather without any doubt...

Brian Hill - 2019 # 298
A scary storm report gone wrong..

Wounds of Life
Bhill May 2019
There will be wounds

Wounds are the way we learn
Wounds make us realize reality
Wounds can be physical, mental and spiritual
Take the wounds from you life daily
Take them and put them all in a bottle
Take that bottle and store it away
Store it away with all of your wounds
All of them in their own little bottle
Their own little space
Their own little place
Sealed up and safe
Can these wounds ever be healed?
One at a time....!

I think they can....!

Brian Hill - 2019#119
Inspired by looking back to see the wounds of life.
Have I healed any of them...?  (Yes)

Tick Tock
Bhill Aug 2019
The clock ticks away
Watching minutes passing by
Learn how to control your time
Do things that give you joy
Take the time to realize
Realize to understand
Understand to recognize
Recognize to acknowledge
Acknowledge time has moments
Live for those moments

Brian Hill - 2019 #215
Take the time to respect time

Mr. Lizard
Bhill Oct 2019
The lizard made its way straight up the rock wall
Such adhesion on those rocks with his fragile-looking claws
What was he running from, or to, with such desert dignity
What would you call the motions of these little creatures
Bodies moving back and forth like other slithering reptiles
Fascinating....

Brian Hill - 2019 # 251
Are you fascinated by lizards. Moving down here has brought a whole new appreciation to the little ones.

Proverb...
Bhill Apr 2019
An old ancient proverb is
”The enemy of my enemy is my friend”
Have you heard this before
Does it mean anything to you
Is it a reflection of todays thinking
Having enemies today is very different than ancient times
Becoming friends with the rivals enemies, created larger armies
Larger armies marching on to destroy
Marching on with Destruction and Death along the way
I feel semi fortunate to be here, in the now
I would like to believe that we, as a people have learned
That we have learned, to love our enemies and their friends
That we have learned, to put down weapons
That we have learned, weapons only destroy
Weapons do not create
We need to be creative and move forward
Moving forward will give the future another ancient proverb
”The friend of my friend is my friend....”

Brian Hill - 2019#105
This old proverb sparked this poem...

Silent Time
Bhill Oct 2020
suddenly, silence without any expectations occurred
being alone, with the quite, does not have to survive unattended
silent time can be shared in the best of moments
silent time, even alone, should be pure

Mindless Chatter
Bhill Sep 2019
My mind is drifting in and out of reality
It's happening so fast that I feel a sort of mortality
Is it wrong to enjoy the drifting
Is it wrong to expect the mortality to last
Is it wrong to want to share my drifted mind with others

Who would want to know that minds can break out
Should I be afraid
Should I prevail in the mindless chatter of mortality

It's distracting....

At the Fringe
Bhill Aug 2019
I watched from the background
The very existence of such a powerful being was overwhelming
What was your secret
What did you process that others did not
What happened to allow your evolution
Those enormous accomplishments stunned the heavens
Created a space so improved, perfected and large
Wow is all I got left...

Wait, where are we
Have we reached our destination or are we at the fringe

Brian Hill - 2019 # 222
I've been watching too many space shows...

Wanting / Learning
Bhill Aug 2020
before wanting there is learning
you must discover before you desire
are desires more significant
how do you gauge
is desire the fuel to all information

Circumstance
Bhill Oct 2020

The Gold Horn
Bhill Mar 2020
Angel Moroni watches over his fold
He holds on to a horn said to be made of gold
He stands on top waiting the moment to arrive
When it finally comes the horn takes a dive

The earth was tired and decided to shake
The Angel looked down during what was a quake
What he saw was surprising and actually quite weird
All the people were gathering things it appeard

Why do they need all that paper in rolls
Why do they need all those bottles, who knows
The horn was broken when it hit the earth
It was bent in half, now what's it worth

Someone grabbed it right up and ran like the wind
He was chased and caught as this was a sin
He would have liked to play that horn
He held it so long and now he must mourn

What to do, what to do, is all he could think
The world has gone nuts and he needs a drink...

Brian Hill - 2020 # 79
In today's climate, this I found to be extremely well-timed and very funny. I hope most of you agree.

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?

Can't you see the beauty

Rain...
Bhill Dec 2019
The rain is here, and coming from the sky
Where else would it come from? My oh my
It freshens the air as nothing else can
It's been doing it forever, or since time began
It arrives in a wonder, surrounded by its clouds
A mode of transportation contained only by the shroud
When you think of rains importance, the wonderment is there
Bringing water where it's needed or flooding with no care
We wouldn't be, without it, this is something, oh so true
We have to love or hate it, depending on which view....

Brian Hill - 2019 # 314
You just got to love the rain. Or hate it...,  depends

Meetings
Bhill Jun 2019
When boy meets girl he wants to whirl
When girl meets boy it could be a joy
When day meets night look out for some fright
When night meets day it’s time to go play
When up meets down it could turn things around
When down meets up could it be abrupt
When a horse meets a cow all I got is wow
When a cow meets a horse is sweet of course
When good meets bad will we be sort of mad
When bad meets good will it be understood
When thunder meets lightning it’s loud and it’s frighting
When lightning meets thunder it’s really a wonder
When dirt meets water you got yourself mud
When water meets dirt it could clean off the crud

Meetings like these happen every single day
Be ready or not as they are always underway....!

Brian Hill - 2019#143
Meeting of all sorts make up your day.
Pay attention and play with them today

The impossible...
Bhill Sep 2019
There are times in our life when things seem to tough
The climb is too hard and the going is rough

If you look up the hill and see the whole climb
It might be too steep and take too much time

It’s important to stay focused on staying upright
One pedal at a time will take you to heights

The fact that you’re there and giving it your all
So you know that you can, even if you fall...

you have to look twice and respect the sight

What is about the wind that comforts or troubles one
The constant howling as it bends and swirls through barriers
Trees waving their branches as it engulfs and swallows them up
Moving water past their natural breaks
Changing the landscape of deserts like a painter with his canvas
Sand dunes creating new and ever-shifting raw formations
And when it ends...
The silence is unexpected and so, so quiet
