Life....!

When do you know, the how’s and why’s, of what we all call life
Does it come to you in a message or in the form of a knife

If it comes to you as a knife, let's hope it's not in the back
Being able to see and face the knife, will certainly, lessen the attack

Life is real, can be really tough, and it's up to you to see
The wonder and the beauty, along with life's form of debris

Getting hit in the back, with the knife of life, can ruin anyone's day
If you can see it coming, move aside, and get out of the way....!

Inspired by watching life as we age...

Where
I want to see it
It's out of my view
Turn here, I want to catch a glimpse as well....

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

Pieces that are broke
Pieces I can't renovate
Pieces are missing

Passion for spirit
Passion for being myself
Passion for sharing

Bring back what's now broke
Bring back the passion for life
Bring back simple love

bliss anticipates
does it need to be needed
is bliss happening

Brian Hill - 2019 # 265

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

I can't do it all
Did you ask me to do it
I can't do it all

Brian Hill - 2019#96
Inspired by people who appear to be able to do it all..

Why is it so hard to be ones own self
Where did we lose our identity
Is it in the back yard of our own mind
Is it playing with other lost identities
Is it recoverable

Looking forward to being
Being the one I know best
Being the one that got me here
Being the one I can rely on

Can that one be found?

Leaves dropping from trees
Circling down
Nurturing new life

Brian Hill - 2019 # 278

Falling down is part of life
Rising up is choice
Staying up is the pursuit

Brian Hill -2019 # 278

appearances continue to be the decision-maker
we as animals need optic sensitivity first
what is next

Brian Hill - 2020 # 64

Uncover yourself
Do you see
What you have become

Brian Hill - 2019 # 282

how long has it been
where have you gone
was it worth all the grief
being gone for so long
it will never be the same
no matter how hard you try
where have you gone
do you have NO reply
now that you're back
the change is quite clear
you're not who you were
you’re something to fear
what did you do
you were gone so long
what did you see
you really moved on

  Brian Hill -2020 # 56

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 many chances
How many opportunities
How many failures...

Brian Hill - 2019 # 158

After the sun sets
Darkness comes
Pure total darkness

Time
Wasting it is shameful
Harsh

Brian Hill - 2019 # 295

Can you recycle
It's the same as repurpose
Improve with your change

Brian Hill - 2020 # 21

Starting out the new year with memories going back
Reflecting on just what I did or what it was I lacked
I find myself being quite surprised and really sort of dazed
To have the memories that I have of all the changes made

Moving from the mountains to the desert of red sand
From the snow-covered hills and the pine trees oh so grand
From having all four seasons to only having two
Sometimes can make you crazy but never feeling blue

The skies here in the desert, are always very clear
When back up North the skies are gray and tend to make you tear
Moving down has given me a new look at my life
Another chapter, another poem, having coffee with my wife....

What is anxiety
Why does it occur
Who does it affect
Can you get it at school
Can you get it in your car
Can you get it in the park
How do you control it
How do you function with it
How do you, how do you

Well, you take a deep breath
Look it straight in its anxious riddin eye
Than spit at it

Oh, and then sing “Over the Rainbow”

Just saying...

Brian Hill - 2019 # 212

What is it about
Does anyone really know
Does anyone care

Brian Hill - 2019 # 311

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

Conditions got worse
The cold swept in unaware
Dropping temperatures

Brian Hill - 2020 # 12

I see the sunrise
nature never disappoints
such a simple act

Brian Hill - 2020 # 134

My eyes were opened
Many clouds
Sunshine will follow

Brian Hill - 2020 # 23

hello
this is him
no I don't need a burial plot
what's wrong with you people
how did you get this number
what
the obits
no way
I'm not dead yet...

Brian Hill - 2020 # 65

There is always a way to gain in life's joys
It's not just about the noise and the toys
I think it's what you can learn and unmask
To be able to use what the world has on task
You must have eyes open to see what is there
See all that you can and always, always share

Brian Hill - 2019 # 320

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

Is the star too far for you to behold
Is it out of range in the vacuum untold
Will it ever be something within your sight
Or kept in your mind choosing not to take flight
If it is too far and untouchable today
Keep that star in view and there will be a way

Brian Hill - 2019 # 319

Is it understood that time is of no value
It's wasted
It passes
It creates aged elements

What if time ceased
Think hard about this
Hard, I mean think heavy

What if time sped up
This needs to be considered
In all quirks of the natural world

Time is unexplained
Time possesses numerous undertakings
Time, is it on our side?

Brian Hill - # 223

There is always time
Time to let your mind wander
Wander to your soul

Brian Hill - 2019 #260

Pursuing a thought
Seek, think, understand
Believe in the thought

Brian Hill - 2019 # 264

There is no me, without you
There is no us, without fuss
A little commotion keeps us in motion
We all need love to stay above
If you're able to care, are you able to share
It's the little things we know that help us to grow
It makes the world where we live, a world where we give

Brian Hill - 2020 # 34

Can you wait for the anger
Wait for the anger to vacate
To vacate your senses
Your senses that were not awaiting
Not awaiting that change
That change that distorted your absoluteness
So absolutely that you could not forgive
Holding on to the anger for years
Years that were consumed
Consumed with distorted thoughts and memories
Thoughts and memories that should have been extraordinary
Thoughts and memories altered with anger distortion

Say no to the power of anger
Say yes to letting it go
Laugh, till your not angry

Brian Hill - 2019 # 296

immersed in fear and new challenges
the green, green grass of yesterday is still growing
still developing in all of our minds
our minds are the advantage that overtakes the fear
do not underestimate this truth
you will get it wrong...

Brian Hill - 2020 # 90

I recently loved
I loved everything I could
Was I wrong in that

I believe in love
I believed everyone loved
Was I wrong in that

Do all creatures love
All creatures need to exist
Are they wrong in that

Is love part of life
I believe love needs to be
Am I wrong with this?

Brian Hill - 2019 # 261

Drama is one word
That one word takes over life
Can you control it

Brian Hill - 2019 # 316

New Thing Haiku

Thinking of new things
Controls the wants of old things.
How do you stop it?

Brian Hill - 2019#62
Inspired by thinking about new stuff...!

Examine yourself
Which direction should you go
You do have choices

Brian Hill - 2020 # 37

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 struggle with opportunity is an interpretation
how do you recognize what is, or is not an opportunity
have you ever thought about this
it's a struggle....

Brian Hill - 2020 # 256

Pain is hard to see
Imagine how hard it is
Why does hurt soooo?

Brian Hill 2019#97
Inspired by my senior dog...!

we dream so we can SEE past what's real
we dream so we can GET past what's real
we dream so we can REACH above
we dream so we can STAND outside of ourself
we dream so we don't DWELL in despair
we fantasize existence, unlike reality...

Brian Hill - 2020 # 102

The existence of artificial expression has given purpose to some
Not being able to accurately process and enjoy reality is the reason
WHY?
