Life is precious and filled with the challenges of
...love and pain...
How will they present themselves to you
Will they be
Complicated or Simple
Physical or Mental
Financial or Emotional
They will all be there
You can't pick and choose
  ...but...
You can decide how to handle it.
Handle with care!

Brian Hill - 2019#134
Life is filled with choices of large proportions
Handle with care...!
Bhill May 2019
Yesterday is yesterday, do you understand what that means
Take today, start out fresh, and create a whole new scene

Sometimes it's hard, to do just that, as yesterday made you so mad
Yesterday is in the past and today is a chance to be glad

Take some time and plan your days so they all turn out just right
If you do this once and then do it again, your days might not be uptight...

See the beauty, that life can bring, enjoy the days ahead
You'll have more fun, you'll get more done and want to get out of bed.....

Brian Hill -2019#125
Inspired by wanting to share a great way to see life...
Love sharing how to have a great day...
Please, have a great day everyone!

It's tough to inspire
Tell me what inspires you
It might be simple

It could be something you see
It could be something you feel
Each day brings on new whispers
The whispers come from within
Softly speaking to your mind

Inspiration comes
Inspiration leaves quickly
Listen to whispers

Brian Hill - 2019 # 216
Inspire yourself

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
What and where is yours?
Bhill Jul 2019
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
Good morning
Bhill Aug 2019
Hello to you, and you and you, what can I do today
I see what you want, it's ghastly and gaunt, and I think you should just go away
What do you mean, you think that it's keen; it's awful and I can't abide
I think you should hurry, and please, please scurry, get out, your want is denied
We all have our views and yours made me choose, to ask you to leave me alone
I know you meant well, but I bid you farewell to move on to a better unknown

Brian Hill - 2019 # 219
Another attempt as this format. I like it because you can have fun with ideas, emotions and even beliefs...
Bhill May 2020
When my hero teaches me my lesson
And my world exists without fear
I know I can handle it all on my own
But it's nice to know that he's near

Be a hero, find a hero, honor all heroes

Why are you hiding
Is it important to hide
Don't hide here alone

I will hide with you
What do you mean, No I can't
If you hide, I hide

Brian Hill - 2019 # 241
Don't hide alone...
Bhill Jun 2020
depart quietly but live out loud
enjoy the views that you can see
imagine how deep your mind can reach into the ocean
go above the clouds for the best seats in the house
don't slide into home base with a full beer
drink and appreciate the flavor as you run bases
spend it all, see it all, do it all...

we need to honor the MEDICAL TEAMS
who are taking on this fight
they're at the front with all the risk
and sometimes there is no light
what would we do without them
as this virus takes control
one by one it pollutes us
in TEAMS, they stay on patrol
we need to honor the MEDICAL TEAMS
they will help us win for sure
they will hold their ground regardless
and help that someone find a cure

Brian Hill - 2020 # 86
Honor your MEDICAL TEAMS.

the new dawn of the future
the end is a hope

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
How would you know?
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?

Brian Hill - # 228
Do you know if you know or how you know?
Bhill Mar 2019
?  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...

Brian Hill - 2019#70
The fact that this opinion is mine and not yours is important to WHO?
Bhill Aug 2019
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
Sing everybody

How far, is my head from the ground?

Does the thought seem to make me look down?
It's not a subject, that comes up every day.
But how far, is my head from the ground?

It seems quite important right now.
Do I measure from my nose or the top of my crown?
How far, is my head from the ground?

I'm falling and falling and falling right now.
How far will I go till I stop?
I think the answer depends, on the answer to the question...

How far, is my head from the ground?

How did you break me
The very heart that loved me
Broke me into bits

How do I fix it
How do I turn it around
I will find a way

is humanity going to be beautiful again
it has lost its way, and I want to know when
all people of the world, deserve a little break
it has been too long since all of us, really could partake
mama never told us, there would be days like this
she told us what she knew and would she gave us a kiss
I want humanity to be beautiful again
let's find a way to save ourselves, and I end, with an AMEN

hush, they murmured to the crowd
please don't wake up the new day
the promise of a new beginning is within
within the very heart of the silence
calmness will be here with the sunrise

We can’t see the problem because we’re too near.
Step back and review, it may get more clear...
I’m sure we all know this, but we often forget
We have to believe it, so we can re-set....

Do you see it?
Bhill Jun 2020
the icy ink flowing from my pen was cold enough for concern
the words laying down on my manuscript was not, what was in my head
it appeared to be a warning of some kind
warnings of a mad soul
a soul, living in darkness, surrounded with the brightest of colors
colors, sitting in the background of happiness, just lingering
waiting for the right time to circulate again...

Brian Hill - 2020 # 154
Find your colors...

I don't cry
I want to, but I can't
I don't feel
I want to, but I cant
I don't learn
I want to, but I cant
I don't eat
I want to, but I can't
I don't hate
I want to, but I cant
I don't breathe
I want to, but I can't
      I can love
           Why
      I don't know

Brian Hill - 2019#109
I don't know the inspire
What could this mean?
What loves but does not feel?
If
Bhill Jul 2020
If
is it you
is it me
could be us
what if
the perfect thought
what if
the perfect question

Brian Hill - 2020 # 199
Ask that question..

Imagination
What can you create today
Imagine, then do...!

Brian Hill - 2019 # 318
Use all the imagination you have, now create more....
Bhill May 2019
I can't imagine
The world without you in it
I can't imagine....

Brian Hill - 2010#131
Inspired by John Lennons song
Watched the John Lennon story last night...
*** he and Yoko were so in tune with each other
The song Imagine is a true classic...
Bhill May 2019
How did I miss that, where was my mind
Where was I looking, I must have been quite blind

I missed the perfect time to see it
I missed the colors, I admit

My timing for it wasn't right
I blinked and all I saw was light

I may never get another chance
To really see the fairies prance...

Brian Hill - 2019#113
Inspired by fascinating fairies.
This is another mind move to be creative...
Fairies, who would have thought...
:)
Bhill Jan 2020
There are too many frogs in the pond
What do you do when you are so blonde
How and why are you so unique
You grew up here and came from the same creek
Sometimes you're treated with crazy mistrust
And all you can do is try to adjust
Who you are and how you appear
Seems to be, sometimes, a reason to fear
Trying to blend in when all frogs are gray
Exists in all places and should be okay
You jump and swim the same way as them
You have the same feelings and you don't condemn
There are too many frogs in the pond

Brian Hill - 2020 # 5
Bhill Jul 2019
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
Seriously...
Bhill Jul 2019
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
Sometimes your mind take your words somewhere else...
Bhill Jun 2019
The intentions were there all along
I intended to secure my position
I intended to be at that meeting
I intended to be honest with it
I intended to see it through
I intended do that chore
I intended to write that
I intended to buy it
I intended to
I intended
I didn’t

Brian Hill - 2019#139
Intentions are only intentions without completions.
Bhill Nov 2019
Intentions are just that
Having the intent to do it
You don't get credit for intentions....

Brian Hill - 2019 # 284

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
Bhill Mar 2020
the priceless birthright of today is being challenged
challenged by the smallest of creations
creations of nature disturbed by human intervention
interventions that boggle the minds of the many
the many, whose very existence, is in question
in question and frightened by the changing

I am a little freaked out by the world
we will survive as history is repetitive
we never learn as history is repetitive
I'm a little freaked out by the world....

there's a ghost in the wall, how do I know
there are sounds of moaning that sound like hello
the walls might be haunted by an unlikely mind
from way back in history or the future aligned
it's not at all scary, it's mostly just weird
it would be so awesome if they decide to appear
there's a ghost in my wall and I'm not really mad
it's nice to have friends in he walls of your pad....

Brian Hill - 2020 # 151
Find your ghost.

because I'm in waiting
waiting for dinner
waiting for the movie
waiting for the flu to go away
waiting for that parking space
waiting for the rain to stop
waiting for sunrise
waiting for sunset
I'm still waiting
waiting for the checkout cashier
waiting for the, the, the ,the
I'm not waiting for you
the you that represents the end
the end that is permanently in my mind

Brian Hill - 2020 # 61
What are you waiting for?
Bhill Mar 2019
Loving
Doing
Wanting
Hating
Climbing
Falling
Flying
Is what we do
every day
It's not right
It's not wrong
It's just
what we do
Can changes be made
Why
Do you ask
That question
Would it change
you
Would it change
me
Do you
want to change
I'm not sure
I do....

Brian Hill - 2019#58
Inspired by thoughts of the morning light.
Bhill Nov 2020
the spirits of our forefathers are turning in their grave
our land has been home to freedom and liberty for years
why would we allow the orange fog to control and suppress that right
our founders fought for and gained that right for us
why would some question, and want that privilege squashed
is it a reality that has come to stay?
NO, is the only answer here
let our ancestors know that democracy is not in hiding....

Brian Hill - 2020 # 304

Question for today
Is real really real
What if it isn’t
***

Brian Hill - 2019 # 313
Does anyone really know?
Bhill Jun 2020
who really knows
who really understands
how is it true
or not
does the homeless person know what time it is
did the ant you stepped on feel anything
the sunset shared by millions across the globe, was it appreciated
was it valued
desert winds, stirring up the ancient sands, is it admired
is it honored
waters in the clouds, falling with raw force to the earth, is it glorified
is it
how do you know
how do you know

Brian Hill - 2020 # 168
Well, is it?
Bhill Jan 2020
News is depressing
Are the state of things that bad
Waiting for some change

Brian Hill - 2020 # 13
Is it really?
Bhill Jan 2020
The existence of artificial expression has given purpose to some
Not being able to accurately process and enjoy reality is the reason
WHY?

Brian Hill -2020 # 18
Why is reality so hard?
Bhill Mar 2019
Hey, HEY, what about,
WEATHER?
Rain falling from clouds,
beautiful in a misty, foggy way.
Clouds rolling in
they appear to be
a never ending
gathering,
flock,
gaggle,
******,
swarm,
cackle,
herd,
or
just plain storm clouds!
Water, water everywhere.
Tap dancing on the roofs,
Cascading off cliffs,
Filling in natural washes,
Flowing out to local rivers,
Water converted to mud...
When is it too much
Is it SATURATED??
NOW is when...
And YES!

Brian Hill - 2019#56
Inspired by the tapping of rain on the roof..
They rain here lately has been beautoful and scary..
Bhill Apr 2019
There is the sound of water on the roof.
What is it?
The sun is shining!
The sun is shining in the front..
The sound of water is on the roof.
What is it?
The sun is not shining in the back!
The sound of water is on the roof.
What is it?
I can see blue skies left and right..
The sound of water,
Wait, is it water?
Something is on the roof!
What IS IT?

Brian Hill - 2019#91
Inspired by the strange habits of desert storms...
The desert storms can be such a different animal...
Raining in the front yard and not the back or vise versa...
Bhill Apr 2019
Every day you wake up, something will come along
That something will be something, and it may be right or wrong

That something might be pleasant, or it could be really bad
You never can expect it, it may make you glad or sad

It's part of life to have it, its the part that makes life roll
It's the part you can't see coming and the part you can't control

What can you do with something, as it hits you with surprise
You can take it on, with surprise of your own, and that is not unwise

Brian Hill - 2019#82
Inspired by SOMETHING..  
Bhill Jul 2020
is the sand in front of the ocean
is the water the end of the line
are the fish in the seas our connection
to a life, that has no define
just think of all the questions
that have yet, or may never be asked
i hate to make this proposal
as it seems like a tough task to grasp...

Brian Hill - 2020 # 191
Just a question...
Bhill Jun 2019
Did you ever hear the tale about the 2 dead boys
They got up to play one dark night in the middle of the day
It must have been dark because they were not seen
Except by some blind dude on the corner
They got up to go back to back and face each other
I heard they drew swords and then we're shot
Deaf people heard all the commotion and then,
And then killed those 2 dead boys....

What is happening today?

I'm just not sure this is true...

Brian Hill - 2019 # 145
Inspired by an old tale and today's crazy news...
IT
Bhill Apr 2020
IT
expressionless and with a stare that seemed alien
the driftwood form floated and tossed in the violent sea
not knowing where IT had been or where IT would finish
tossing and turning, relying on the forces of nature for guidance
direction towards land is more then IT could hope for
soon the chaos and turmoil of the sea stopped
was IT on sand or still drifting out there in the void
IT seemed to be motionless when a blurred image appeared
not being able to recognize what IT was
not understanding ITs newfound sensations
not realizing IT was using a sense of sight
was there more to this image that understanding would support
what is this occurrence
is this simple, is this another new unknown excitement
is this even genuine
soon, IT appeared to be lifting up, being held quite gently by something
or someone
IT was suddenly and abruptly raised up and all ITs new sensations ceased
what was this, what was ITs final feeling
IT had been found...!
