The focus of my
expectations
may be outside
of the realm
of my know universe.

I search within
my past
and the place
that I view, then
call the present.

Attempting to see
if the perception
I believe
is anywhere,
close to a reality.

Or if the
reality I see
and the expectation
I have within
my mind.

It may not
be a true reality,
but what my mind,
has decided
I will perceive.

So in my fear
I step outside
to find a mind,
to trust and
help me find,

the truth and reality,
but as I ask
and look around,
I found myself,
more grounded than I thought.

rain falls in valleys
wind blown snow in mountain pass
winter must be here

Standing at the Edge
Looking down
Earth below

Rocky peaks
Sparse trees
Silence of the snow

Blue sky above
Water dark blue below
Clouds drifting by

Turning to face the sun
Gliding down
Over the rise

Faster now
As I go
Feeling the wind

Carving a turn
Powder in flight
Direction is changed

Through the trees
I fly
As I take flight on a rise

Feeling as free
As a bird
And light as one too

Breathing in cool air
Cheeks all flush
From cold winters stare

My flight is now done
But the runway awaits
Another flight
Experimental for me.

searching to describe
the love that I hold near me
the word perfection

As the sun rises and I already have 3 hours of energy spent and the attempt to slow the thought processes to a dull roar seems to have failed, yet I feel invigorated and excited as more words and thoughts, race across the compartments of my mind looking to find and keep the thoughts that will bring emotions and feelings to the readers of my work.

And even then will I really know if it's good or just polite. Either way it really excites to stir what you hope are emotions and thoughts that will stir others thoughts.

The draw from the energy of my brain is so great and not really wanting to lose my position as I sit precariously on the edge of the blade. How far can I lean to the artistic side of my mind before I fall to far and lose my mind completely.

What is life without risk, I like the feeling, I like the release, it's such a rush.

Yes it's worth risk to hang on the edge and hopefully this second cup of “Joe” won't push me over the edge.

Time to start
my day like every day.
I find a set plan
to guide me on my way.

Coffee comes first
to open my eyes,
then onto my computer
to view daily surprises.

As I open up
Hello Poetry to look for words
that will brighten my day
and open my mine.

Thank you all
for opening
my mind,
and brightening my day.

returning back home
gathering of family
like the migration
of birds then great feast of food
year of Red Fire Monkey

Open your heart each day
As you give thanks for the day
Hug your loved once at least once a day
You never know when will be the last day

We seem to keep looking for something better in life. More money, a bigger house or a nicer car. Looking at the happiness in my life, I can have no regrets or the happiness I feel may not have been achieved. Take time to reflect on what you have. Do you really need more? When you leave this earthly place, you're taking nothing of physical substance with you. You leave as you came in, with nothing. So maybe you do have all you really need to live the rest of your life? Peace be with you this day.

Do you see
the positive in life,
ever wish
to reach it?

Are you
in misery and pain.
Wanting the rest of the world,
descending with you …
in your despair?

Whatever life has brought you,
thus far,
in your time on earth …
go forward
as an optimist.

You will find the positive
in your world,
and happiness …

beyond all dreams.
