Too Much On The Mind

July 2nd, 2026

Have you ever had so much on the mind, that it just feels like the inside of your head is completely full? Full to the point of being no available space left in there at all for nothing else. Having so much going on in there, that you feel overwhelmed and restless. Feeling like you’re unable to shutoff your brain even for just a little while.

Constantly thinking and usually about things that haven’t occurred yet, or have happened but you’re too fixated on it. So much time spent inside your head that nothing gets done due to all the mental traffic. Or trying to take on too many items all at once, when there is only one you. You’re trying to do the work of two or maybe three people, and truly don’t know how to give your own self a much needed break. Having a hard time simply taking a short pause, and perfectionism may be the one of the culprits at hand. We as creatives can suffer from this, or even have creative blocks as well. Also feeling like there’s not enough hours in the day to complete everything. But guess what? How about just start and finish one thing first before moving on to something else.

The Task

Up to the task at hand
But in my mind many thoughts land

For if I could pause time
Just for a little while

I would do so with my powerful mind
As to alter how my thoughts tend to collide

So that I could take on one idea
With the completion thereof

To allow even more of the creativity
That I so surely love

So focus on just one thing at a time, and not try to tackle multiple items all at once. There is nothing wrong with multitasking, until it starts to get in the way of the actual priority itself. Sometimes as creatives we can be very tough on ourselves, and it is unfair and undeserving. Self preservation also includes the mind as well, so stay creative but not at the cost of burning yourself completely out in the process.

Steps 2

July 1st, 2026

I am

Writing this poem

Just because I want to

And for no other reason than that

As I get to enjoy the poetic freedom

Of having done so and knowing that I can

Do this at anytime or anyplace that I choose to

That is my choice and one that I take great pride in

And will continue to do so until my very last day and life ends

To be

A poet is a joy

And such a creative right

That I get to exercise and repeat

To my very heart’s content and even beyond

As it flows in and out of me as the very breaths

That occupy my lungs and also flows just as much

As the very waters around me and oh how I love to see

Yet another poetic piece formed and written by none other than me

Nature Calls

July 1st, 2026

When nature calls

Please answer her in that moment

Because there is a reason for this

And one that led you here

In a moment in time

When all else seems to disappear

Except the present circumstance

One that appears before you

In various forms and ways

Happening both night and day

For when nature calls

She is attempting to show you something real

But only if you can look deep inside

And truly accept what is before you

She does this in both subtle and forced ways

Neither one meant to harm but rather teach

About life on a different scale

And nature feels quite compelled to share

With you right then and there

And just waiting for you to become fully aware

Of what lies before you here

Shutting out the rest of the world

And only focusing on the now and this specific place

Reflecting openly before your external face

But really meant for your inner one instead

For when nature calls

She is garnering your attention

And reaching all five senses

With pure and natural intentions

As she brings forth into fruition

The very things that have always been in place

Acting and carrying out automatic orders

Of true actions

Design and intended purpose

So be urgent in this awareness

Along with an acceptance of just what is

For nature is not only a teacher

But also a nurturer and a projection

Of what has always been in existence

For nature is a greater extension

Of all the creations of Earth combined

And it all falls in line and through a certain harmony

That must be appreciated at all times

Nature is not one sided or one dimensional

As she displays and conveys many facets of herself

So one only needs to observe through more

Than just the eyes and senses alone

And truly come to realize

That nature itself is our true home

As we live and breathe

And occupy a certain space, area, or piece

Of her wherever we all are

For she is fascinating by far

And greater than any dictionary could ever describe

Go around her and embrace her

Not just a little bit but her all

For we become better ourselves

And also with her

When we answer nature’s calls

Poetry and Poets

July 1st, 2026

This art form called Poetry, is one that is very unique, open to interpretation, and free to just be. I have been a poet for over three decades and I’ve seen much in this time related to poetry. There are so many misconceptions about poetry as well, but all in all, poetry has to be appreciated for what it is and not what it’s trying to be. Poetry doesn’t have to be more of anything else or different. We must appreciate it solely for just being poetry itself.

I personally commend poets that have been in the game here for a long time. I salute you and especially for those great works of art that are completely unknown to the world. Some of the very best works of poetry have never even been published or shared. And I for a long time never shared any of my poetic works, and that was okay. Eventually, I decided that I had a real voice through words and that my poetry could really impact the world for the better. Poets are wordsmiths, poets are artists, and poets also use words to shape the world and convey from a place of inner freedom what needs to be stated on many levels about life and humanity.

So, what I am saying here exactly?…Poetry is often overlooked, not always taken seriously, and even worse not seen as the truly valuable art that it’s always been.. Hence, why many poets and their poetry go unnocticed. Not saying this is the case everywhere, but for the vast majority it is. There are many poets I know that many people don’t even know they exist, and they have work that really needs to be out there. If for nothing more, the good of the world and humanity. They’re many starving or tortured artists out there through various forms of art, creatives at heart, and a real passion for what they possess. But many make no money at all from this passion, and most of the time this has been reduced to a hobby instead. But simply writing a poem doesn’t make you a poet either. It’s a lifestyle, it’s you inside and out from a creative core, it’s on your brain constantly without taking any kind of a vacation. It’s words with real purpose and meaning ,and you being the craftsman that helps shape and manipulate these words in fascinating and unique ways. Poetry is for everyone, but not everyone takes poetry seriously or has the true love and passion for it even when no one is looking at it or reading it. Not all poetry is slammed or performed either, poetry is fine in this way from an entertainment point of view, but nothing will ever beat the purity of original written poetry.

My personal perspective and opinion may or may not be liked or agreed upon, and that is okay. But just know that I’ve always called poetry a home for me and also a sweet escape. I live, eat, and breathe poetry and will never stop doing so. I adore it too much to let it go away, it has become such an intricate and vital part of my life. Poetry is wonderful, and always will be, I just hope that Poetry will one day be valued much more and thanks to all the Poets, that see it for more than just words and lines alone.
