Deep down in my soul
I know
Bring back my eyes

Take away the fear
Let me have that last joke
Let me know that it still exists

Does it
Does it exist
Please, deep down I know
Don't I

the bottle did not match the cork
what is going to happen
my glass was just waiting for the pour
the pour, the unholiest of pours
if only the cork had matched the bottle
one can never be too cautious
Bottles and corks have to match
Don't they?

Good girl
Go get the ball
Need to go ***
Let's go for a walk
Where's your toy
These are words that all dogs hear
These are words they hear very clear
They do their best to give you love
They ask for nothing but love from above
Give them the time and teach them these things
The love given back is worthy of kings....

Does your dog bark, ours sure do
They bark and bark then go find a shoe

They sleep all day in the cutest position
It’s hard to explain their crazy exhibition

What is it about them that steals your devotion
It’s the way they love, without thought or commotion

Time spent with dogs is certainly sublime
They make for a full life with love that is blind...

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..

How do you know
How do you know if
How do you know when
Are my thought and ideas
Right
Wrong
Who's opinion Is it
Will there be an argument
Think about this
It powers us all
There are different views
Don't be blind to that
Be open for it...

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?

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

dreaming unconsciously contributes to being
dreaming about behaviors that may or may not exist
may or may not occur in the future of our past
dreams survive all ages
all creatures
all, any, every....

Drip, Drop, Splash

Drip, drop, splash...
Water, as it finds its final resting place below.
Falling with fellow (drops),
Falling off the cliff side, (drip)
Falling to form very special, beautiful waterfall, (splash).
Coming out into the light.
Waters from storms aged years ago.
Making their way through the tiniest of sandstone cracks.
Having been inside the mountains above for eons.
Not seeing daylight for all those years,
What a surprise, when finding themselves
falling and falling,
to make,
Drip, Drop, Splash...

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

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

Live every day the best that you can
You will never know, how long it will span
Take on each day, with a new and fresh view
See how high you can go, how far you pursue

Don't be afraid, of the scary things in life
They're there for a reason, that reason is strife
If it all was green, you would never know red
Would you even know blue, or just be mislead

Live each day the best that you can
You will never know, how long it will span
Remember this note, it's the same for all
You live many days, but get only one fall

From birth to death, life is filled, with many expectations
The world will not provide them, without personal aspirations

Did you expect to just receive the things that you desired
It takes some thought and planning, that is what’s required

Think about your limits and what should be your goal
Expectations, are really just that, and need to have control...

Going through life and having some downs,
brings on those life lessons, that turn you around.

Ups can be fun, downs not so much.
Are you ready for both, so you don't need that crutch?

Wanting and going, smoothly through life,
takes ups and some downs, that soften the knife.

To make life complete, be ready for all.
Ups, make you high, the downs make you fall.

To know a full life, takes learning with pain,
be ready for both and ride smooth on the train.

Waking up to the sound of your soft breathing
What a joy to know you are by my side
The years have flown by with flair
They have flown by and shared
They have been shared for the good and the scary
We have enjoyed every single one of our many moments
All the moments that make up our life with each other
Moments shared and moments spent in the ever present explore....!

Eyes Closed

what do you feel, when you close your eyes
do you see the world, in an odd, unique size
how do feel, when someone says they care
can you feel the passion, when they are not there
open your eyes and see what is true
experience the frontier, that is offered to you....

Brian Hill - 1/2021 # 27

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?

full moon with cloud shroud
you can see it gleaming through
oh to be worthy of a clear sky sighting
moons endure the pilgrimage thru space
the final fringe of existing sophistication

The rain finally arrived
We had been days without water
They said it would come
They kept saying it would come

Things were drying out quickly
Dirt had already turned to very fine dust
Dust was getting into everything
Everything

Now the rain is here....

I didn’t know that typewriters could fly
I don’t know how it came from the sky
I wanted to catch it but it was too fast
It was gone in an instant and into the past
Not sure where it came from and don’t want to know
The fact it was here and was quite the show
It was going so speedy, it left a smoky trail
That’s all I’ve got, there’s no more detail....

You forgot something
The dream is fading away
What are you to do

How and why is it birds can fly
What do they see, when they're up in the sky

So high, up above, and playing amongst clouds
Floating and soaring without any crowds

Finding the wind, to be their best friend
Having no fear of falling, never finding the end

Being free in the sky is a wonderful sensation
I can only see and feel it, in my mind's imagination

I imagine myself with a beautiful pair of wings
Finding solitude and beauty as only flying can bring...

Inspired by watching the birds doing their thing...

The sun is rising
Waking up todays fresh start
What’s in store today?

Brian Hill - 2019#116

Do you remember frogs and their ribbit, ribbit sound?
Do you remember them hoping, all around and round?

Do you remember tadpoles, looking slimy and gray?
Do you remember catching them, made a very, very fun day?

Do you remember the first time, your tadpole lost its tail?
His legs were bigger, his tail was gone and he wasn't quite so frail.

Those memories flooded back to me, as I did my morning stroll.
The sound of frogs was ribbitting as if they were on patrol.

It seems like forever, since I had heard that sound.
I had to stop and hold my breath and slowly turn around.

Yep, it is, it really is frogs, that are wishing me good day.
I'm glad I heard, their ribbit sound, and these memories flowed my way.

Inspired by the welcoming frogs this morning..

Everyone’s basket is so full
What is in them all
Does anyone know

Brian Hill - 2019 # 312

Times have changed, and that's a fact, and it's not always real kind
When you look back and compare what was, you see patterns ... are we blind

Look at what exists today, pay attention to the real
The real is now, it's not before, and sometimes not ideal

We should look back and learn from it, so we can change the model
Let's not repeat the stupid things, and go forward on full throttle....

Fun is a fun word
Saying it brings happiness
Say it twice and see.. :)

Brian Hill - 2019#60
Inspired by HaaaPPy thoughts....  :>)

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

There is sunshine where the clouds once were
There is warmth radiating down
Beaming down to mother Earth
Warming us with her love
Love that was taken
Taken by storms
Storms that raged
Lingered
Gone

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

Brown Hill - 2019 # 168

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...

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...!
