is our reality being revised
will it dissipate into the winds of tomorrow
instability with imagination will not endure the cycle
consequences of what is to happen are above understanding
the beautiful perception of what is will take its place
retyping and replacing what was known as everyday
how will we feel at the end of this journey

Brian Hill - 2020 # 98
We you ready for the reality of tomorrow?
Bhill Jun 2020
tonight we listen
we listen to confused and fearless children
worldly children shrouded by what has happened to their space
surroundings so confusing and disconnected
a cycle of life, ****** upon them in all directions
which way is OUT?

Out of the blue you show up
You've been missing for so long
Where have you been

What, you don't know
        or won't tell

I've been needing you back

What, why don't you understand

I needed the safety of you
I needed the comfort you had surrounding you
I needed the confidence you gave me
I existed in your shadow

Wait, what do you mean
You left me so I could grow

I had no warning
I had no plans without you
I experienced so much life that was scary

Huh, you knew that would happen
I had to grow up in your absence
Why scare me like that
I needed you to show me the way

Wait....  Aren't you myself???

Brian Hill - 2019#94
Inspired by life....!
Where is ourselves when we grow up?

the singer should have warned us about his out of tune song
it was so undeserving of our live ears
the melody was unpleasant and the tune horrific
how could there be devotees to such bad talent
it just shows you that some ears are deaf...

the silence will shock and the world will rock
when we all can go out and play
the world will be new and a lot less askew
so **** it and stay out all-day

suddenly, and with incredible momentum, times changed
evidence of the past was soon to be forgotten
oceans evolved into landmass
rivers flowed uphill creating waterupfalls
mountains eroded in reverse gaining magnitude and significance
Toilet paper turned into sand
what is the reason
will this paradox ever be solved
it happened, can it reverse back
oh wait, that's what a paradox is

Brian Hill - 2020 # 77
Will it?

life is like a patchwork, of various scenes
like the quilt you had, filled with so many things
the colors were bright with patterns mixed up
there were even flowers, sitting in a bright cup
the squares and the shapes made it dizzy to see
they told you a story in patterns of three
life is like that quilt, of patches I suppose
you go, and you go, seeing what life has chose
you never realize what you're about to conceive
just patches of time is what life is, I believe...

Art is personal and has many forms
Paintings, pottery, and people who perform

Music, Photography, the making of bling
Finding new ways to dance on a string

Poetry, screen writes, and novels are there
Finding new expressions that you'll want to share

What is your flavor, how far do you go
To find your own art form, that shows off your glow?

Brian Hill - 2019 # 153

Pick a Color - Haiku

What color are you
Can you pick a new color
What would you start with?

I would pick orange
I don't know why, but I would
No, maybe yellow

What color are you
Pick a new one every day
See what works the best....

Brian Hill - 2019 # 247
What color are you?
Bhill Jun 2019
Look at your wants
Look at your needs
Pick which way to go

You can't be wrong
Unless you don't start
That is how we grow...

Let's play and run and skip and fall
Let's see how long, it takes to crawl

The grass is green and it's on our pants
It's on our shirts because of the plants

Check out that dirt that's waiting for us
Can I get there first or will it be Russ

I have a new bike, it's a Sting Ray
High rise bars and a banana seat that's gray

Flying kites is fun if the wind is just right
We fly them so high they go out of site

The creek down the street sometimes has some fish
We can't seem to catch em, no matter how hard we wish

The tree at the corner is a blast to go climb
The highest and fastest changes all of the time

Hide and go seek is something we play
If we could, I think, we would play it all day

For some really strange reason, the street light, we hate
Cause when it turns on, I guess that it's late

We hurry and scurry to get up and get out
So we don't get in trouble and nobody shouts....

Brian Hill - 2019#87
Inspired by remembering playtime...!
Remember when??

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

interesting and unfortunate explain our days
humanity smiles as we lose our senses
the kingdom of today has been plundered
we must overcome the enemy, to return to yesterday

What goes through the mind of a poet
It would frighten most people and I know it

The things you think of to write about
Take you to places that most folks would have doubt

The words that find their way to paper
We wish sometimes, would turn to vapor

We see things in dimensions, that are dimensional
Is that a word, if it is, it's just plain criminal

See what I mean, about the mind of a poet
I think my brain just exploded, I want a doughnut

Brian Hill - 2019#126
Wonder what could have been the inspiration for these words.....?
Sometimes it just takes over....
Bhill Jul 2020
the poet's mind awoke to the yearning of the crusade
his quest to answer all questions in verse needs to prevail
be not astounded by how his mind paints his feelings
he will not rest till his mind is emptied

Potatoism...?

I've met myself a potatoist
She claims she is, so all over it
She likes potatoes, she said she does
If she eats too many she goes all a buzz
I'm not really sure how the subject arose
I only just know, that it did, I suppose
Potatoism is the word that she said
A potatoist eats potatoes and potatoism will spread....

Jelly, my Granddaughter, is the young Potatoism Potatoist.
Got to love a new word....

Brian Hill - 2020 # 22
Love new words coming from the grand children!

there once was a land that was rich with things
everything working with no broken swings
about 4 years ago it started to fail
the spirit of the nation was turning quite pale
some thought it was good and just went along
others were appalled and knew it was wrong
what was the reason many of us asked
it appears that our rights are questioned and tasked
we rambled about and fought from within
losing some friends and a few of our kin
we need this to change we said in a vote
but the man at the top, he started to gloat
he ate up the laws and turned into a grinch
casting people about and not giving an inch
we elected in another to take on the task
to cast the grinch out and peel off his mask
well grinch wouldn't budge and sent out his saps
to alter results and further the collapse
what do we do, can we take on more ****
I for one am just done, and the grinch has to quit....

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....

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...

The vastness of the desert is a quandary
It is a quandary of vast proportions
Realizing just how vast it is
Is a quandary all of its own
How do we get over the quandary?

Just wondering!!!

Inspired again by our desert....
Where we live is an everyday inspiration...
It is mind mending.!

be astonished by the capable, healthy eyes looking at you
stop hiding behind the facts
facts, that caring is crucial for survival
we must find a way back to caring and supportive actions

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....

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

the threshold of our reality is disturbing
day after day disruptions in the airwaves block sensibility
airwaves, that before, were comfortable to play in
where is it safe to tinker today

Brian Hill - 2020 # 45
Do you know your reality?
Bhill Oct 2019
You're reality
Does it fit the life you live
Have you had questions

Is your energy your own
Do you believe there is more
Have you wanted to explore
Are you having suspicions
Reach out for a mixed path
A pathway to somewhere else

You are not alone
Life's path can be adapted
Adapted to match

Brian Hill - 2019 # 249
Is your reality fit your in your life?

gaze into the glass
self-reflection is needed
what is it you sense

Brian Hill - 2020 # 161
What will you see?
Bhill Jul 2019
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

Remember the yesterdays of your life
Remember the pain that caused you strife
Remember the beauty that shaped your soul
Remember the times you reached your goal
Remember the fight you had that one day
Remember the laughter you shared throwing clay
Remember the sore that caused that pain
Remember the lie you tried to contain
Remember the love that found you unaware
Remember how you felt, that there was no compare
Remember the time you hated your friend
Or did they hate you, did it come to an end
How did you feel when you knew you had lost
That person you loved, or at least that's what you thought
Why did it happen, did you ever find out
Do you get so mad, that you want to just shout
Looking back on your life can be a great stroll
Remember it's yesterday and has no control
Live life for today and make it the best
Yesterday is gone so put it to rest...!

Brian Hill - 2019#114
Inspired by life’s little treasures
Looking back has its true meanings...
Good with the bad
Happy and sad
Don't be afraid to look back...!

we are surrounded by cluttered thinking
is it surprising
we need to light the torches of our minds
burn through the misinterpretation
flush out the decoy that has represented itself as truth
find a passage
think facts
rescue our purpose

Find your passage and rescue it..

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
Yes, this happened.  Quite happy that I was able to help and hopefully sac this little guys life.  Sometimes you just have to pay a little more attention.

Riding...

Riding bikes in the mountains is fun
Riding bikes in the desert with sun

Riding the trails up and down
Riding the trails around and around

Riding the trails north and south
Riding the trails with dirt in your mouth

Riding the trails east and west
Riding the trails with no time to rest

Riding the trails with pumps and drops
Riding the trails with sand and rocks

Can't get enough of this crazy, crazy romp
The more that you learn, the more you can stomp

Brian Hill - 2019#126

Wearing shoes has always been fun
We learn to tie them and off we run
We run all day and into the night
We have to be home when street light, lights
It always seems that the lights light, too early
Because hide and go seek when its light, is just girlie

Dinner is served when everyone's there
Who's turn is it, to say the prayer
I know it's not mine, cause I said it last night
It's got to be Sis’s, I hope there's no fight

When dinner is done the TV goes on
Or we play family games sometimes time until dawn
We really don't play untill it's that late
I just said that because bedtime is eight...

mysterious curiosity of the runaway train
it has no direction, just a need to maintain
around all the corners, up all the hills
down through the valley creating more thrills
what does one do with a runaway train
how do you stop it from achieving more gain
do you leave it running till it runs out of track
do you try to derail it with a full-on attack
it's quite the conundrum, that runaway train
decisions, decisions, are straining the brain
really not sure, what to do with this dream
I think I'll just let it, run out of steam...

It happens every year
Seasons are shifting and allowing in the changes
Skies will become confused with new shapes and formations
Water will drift in and out with unique forms of moisture
Snow, sleet, hail, rain
Wonderous winter scenes will become extreme masterpieces
Skies will be purified and cleansed
Scenes to be remembered and cherished

Brian Hill - 2019 # 299
Take time to see the changes...

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....

lighter shades of darkness, darker tones of light

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

.         Our mother found her way last night...
We told her we were fine and she could move on...
                  We told her we loved her...
We told her we loved her and she could move on...
               She found her way last night...
                   She was a proud women...
      She was a proud women stuck in a disease...
           Stuck in a disease that took her away...
                        The sadness is real...
                            The relief is real...
               The sadness and relief are real...
They are real in ways that are hard to express...
                 She has found her way home...
                            We will miss her...
She found her way only after she understood...
                She understood we were all ok...
She understood we loved her and we were fine...
                   She moved on last night...
               She can finally Rest In Piece...
                         Our dear mother...
                               Our Mom...

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
