Roll With The Flow

October 17th, 2026
how can one

when it comes to living life

just roll with the flow

sitting still or on the go

at home or in a public

and how many times in a row

through experiences gathered

and personal growth

the unknown and what one

has come to know
are you flexible

or just plain stiff

open minded or closed

and have you checked off items

from your bucket list

dreams deferred or accomplished

goals thought of and not met

or not just yet

having the love of your life

or rolling solo

traveled the world

or just staying nearby
on the verge of bettering self

or no improvement at all

do you stand for something

or nothing at all

do you think of others

or just yourself

do you vibe with nature

or rage against it

attempt or not try

smile or cry

living or just existing

doing well or just

barely getting by
for how do you roll

and what is your flow

or do you find yourself

having not moved at all

bored or enthralled

down for a cause

walking or took a pause

stand or fall

and through it all

while often sitting still

or on the go

with much on the mind

and a lot on the heart

following along

or standing apart
as the inquiring and curious mind

of you should always know

for how can one

when it comes to living life

truly roll with the flow

Poetic Notations

October 16th, 2026

Allow me to leave

A note right here

And yes it is

As it appears

For I have no fear

Of leaving my work behind

For I will always be known by

My poetic grind

Not just once but over time

As poetry and me

Will always fall in line

And by poetry

Have I been bitten

With many bites and works combined

Fulfilled and gratified

From poetry and me

That have been written

And seeing a poem unfold

Yet take on a new shape

Is like watching and witnessing

Words being born

And never subdued

As poetic words scorch my mind

Instead of a few

For it’s a feast and treat

For the eyes

And the heart as of late

Vying for my attention

And it cannot wait

So excuse me

As I continue to annotate

This artistic situation

Poem after poem

Creation after creation

As I plan to leave behind

And shine throughout

Countless poetic notations

Poetical Calculation

October 14th, 2026
Assessing the effects

That poetry can have

And measuring the number of expressions

That will come to pass

Along with all of the possibilities

That poetry can convey and be

So effortlessly

As you plot a course

Of the poetic sort

The meaning and literary substance

To report and purport

Document and speak

An essence and significance

That never goes bleak

And always available

To those that seek

Ever present and within reach

As it appears

To engage with both far and near

With various artistic content

Each time it came and went

And all of the effort put in

With much time spent

And being so evident

As to quantify poetically

At the poetic core

To the seen and unseen eye

For poetry resides in its own world

And with a life that moves by

Each and everyone

With every hello and goodbye

As to indeed multiply daily as

The darkness around the moon

Or the light around the sun

A literary substance

That stands on its own

And will live on

Even after the poet is long gone

For this will always be

The situation

The determining factor

With every poetic creation

And with a size and effect

That can’t be fully measured

Or truly known

For it is unique

And a poet’s home

For it is beyond computation

But how interesting it is

To equalize the totality of

A poetical calculation

The Stars Above

October 12th, 2026

To look up and see the stars above/

/and the wonder they exude with so much

To speak of as they are lights ignited/

/by many lives among the cosmos up there

Like little dots of bright hope looking down/

/with various arrays of size and illumination to

Being a living example of a hovering miracle/

/as celestial friends with a constant luminous smile

Oh To Be

October 11th, 2026
oh to be

in a world

that is seen

as more cold and mean
oh to be

in a time

where days just fly by

and both the sun and moon

are out at the very same time
oh to be

among those

that value dollars over lives

and warped within the mind
oh to be

in areas that have

far less trees

than ever before
oh to be

on the brink

of so many wars

both seen and unseen
oh to be

in a reality that

is shaped by more

illusion than actual freedom
oh to be

hated for just about anything

and especially the things

that naturally cannot be changed
oh to be

fed a steady diet of lies

and altered history

in more ways than one
oh to be

shunned for simply

telling the truth

and being brave enough

to move in the opposing direction
oh to be

in a society

that is a recipe for disaster

rather than do what is necessary

for sustainable real change
and oh to be

writing this poem

that could go on

and on referencing

even more things, that we face

and are upon us now
all while living and existing

along both lines of the

hidden and exposed

the light and shadowy
oh to be

oh to be

oh to be

To Lose Something

October 10th, 2026
to lose something

never meant to be lost

and the cost left over

that is not always monetary
hanging on for dear life

only to one day

watch it go away

the very thing
that other plans was meant for

and just wanted this more

to stick with it, until decided upon

to let go by choice, rather than forced
and oh how life at times

can tend to change course

at will and without notice

and having to move on
with an unwanted result

yet at the same time

and in a bit of hindsight

with more wrong felt than right
thinking deeply and intensely

and maybe, just maybe

this had to happen

in order to release one
for something even greater

as there are moments in life

that we must lose something

in order to gain something

much better, than ever thought possible

Time Went By

October 9th, 2026
so many years spent

missing out on

many memorable moments

quality time with some

the lack thereof for others
trips not taken

smiles gone unseen

faces no longer here

as the years rolled away
days and nights lost

in the mind and the current reality

waited when movement was needed

moved when patience was the key
regrettable actions and decisions

or decisions undone by circumstances

that seemed out of control

and some within grasp of being possible
oh to convey much felt within

but unsure exactly where to begin

yet no matter what is done or not

time itself never stops
as each second, minute, and hour

is dire and waits upon noone

can’t rewind nor gain it back

which leaves one direction only
and that is forward movement

as each day alive is precious

and can’t wear regret as a coat

that won’t be able to come off
as to live and breathe

with so much I didn’t get

to experience or see

for I must make do
with the now, the ever present

and to learn from such a timely lesson

a new welcome and away with old goodbyes

from incomplete to checking off the list

as time went by

Time Moving Quickly….Post 7

“Lost time is never found again.” — Benjamin Franklin

Doesn’t it seem like time nowadays is moving by rather quickly? A bit more than ever before? Or at least to me it does. Hours passing by like minutes, minutes passing by like seconds, and seconds well, blink and their gone.

The sun and moon are both out at the same time as well, like time on both sides of the luminaries are merging together somehow. More now than ever before. Time is precious but also forward moving only. We cannot reverse it, pause it, or acquire any more of it. Once it’s gone, it’s gone forever. That is why time is too vital to life and existence, to ever take it for granted.

“Time is the most valuable thing a man can spend.” — Theophrastus

I remember growing up with time running relatively slow, certainly much slower than now. We had more time on our hands back then, or at least it felt this way. But now, it moves with the quickness and not particularly in a good way. If we truly look around and pay close attention, this is not hard to notice. Not opinion here, but rather a mere fact of something that is actually happening around us all.

And no, we don’t have a time traveling Delorean to go back and forth either lol. Many of us over our lifetime have stated, if I could go back and change this, or I regret this, or if I had made this decision or that decision, yeah we’ve all been there and said that.

But there is no time like the present, and the present is a gift. We cannot go back in time and change anything, no skip ahead either. All the time in the world and universe is happening right here and right now. We have to be present in our lives, for the past is gone and the future hasn’t arrived yet.

“Time and tide wait for no man.” — Geoffrey Chaucer

And because time is moving so quickly now, let’s make the most of it and life today. For tomorrow is not promised, so be present because it’s a gift, and again the only real time we truly have, is currently right here, right now.

No Amount

October 8th, 2026
No amount

Of anything we do

Or don’t do

Say or not say

Think or not think

Feel or not feel

Experience or never get to experience

Will ever give us back

Even one second of time

Time missed or wasted

Time longed for or embraced

Time taken advantage of or seen as nothing vital

For we all are shaped by

The element of time

As time is, and has always been

A major factor

In all aspects of life and existence

For time cares not

That you are rich or poor

What your gender is

What your nationality or political affiliation is

Goals or dreams fulfilled or not

Whether you’re happy or unhappy

Time will be what it’s always been

And this is a flowing and forward moving element

That waits for noone

And no amount of money either

Will ever or could buy back

Any amount of time as well

As time is not for sale

And time will carry on regardless

For no amount of anything

We possess or not

Will ever obtain any amount

Of extra time

The Bridge 2

October 7th, 2026

The bridge, this bridge

that will seal my fate; and return when reached,

and to no longer endure,

my life being interrupted or breached,

ever again as life can really teach—

for the only place to head,

forwards and towards,

is the bridge and to what awaits me—

anxiously on the opposite side,

for the only thing separating me,

and the destiny that was always; meant for me,

was unknowingly and allowing my mind,

to cast the bridge—

both between and away from; my real self,

The bridge
