You know those mountaintop moments
When your spirit seems to soar,
When all the stars align just for you,
When you have all you wanted and more?
Everything you touch seems to turn to gold
And you can do nothing stupid or wrong.
Mountaintop moments make you feel like
You are invincible, immortal and strong.
They seem to come infrequently and rarely do they last,
But when they hit, they make life worth living.
In the in-between time, we long for the rush and
Thrill mountaintop moments alone will be giving.
It’s the in-between time where we live out most of our days.
Struggling, straining, worrying, working to align our stars.
Some have come to understand there are better ways.
Alignment can be manifested through focused thought and prayers.
You can learn to flow with Lifes River, easily carrying you downstream,
No need to fight against the swirling currents, memories of your past.
In-between moments can be raised to perfection.
Peace and happiness lived daily, create mountaintop moments that last.

Life's flowing water
You can't stop with the flow
Go where it takes you.
Just go with the flow
Go upstream or swim the tide
We only live once.
Go with the flow they say,
But what's the point of it?,
When you can't even stop when you need to,
When you can't take ur time to enjoy the view,
Cause you'll be going in a flow,
A flow that'll never be in your own control,
A flow that's just a big fat troll,
Go with the flow they say,
You can see everything,
But can't stop to feel anything,
You can see everything the world has to offer,
But you can't stop in the middle of the flow,
Cause once you get in, It'll drag you along wherever it go,
And getting out is not as easy, do you know?
Go with the flow they say,
But will I? Hell no.
The last emperor, February chill,
Provokes nostalgic lust for summer heat -
My cool companion, Snowman, bittersweet -
I'll melt in hot embrace, he never will.
One vibrant life with season rapid flow,
No time for a preparatory draft,
Recapture every brush of nature's craft -
And frolic in the sun and in the snow.

Some days are bright and shiny
But it's got nothing to do with the weather
It's all to do with attitude
Sometimes the smallest things
Can send us down the path of negativity
Or conversely down “Happiness Street”
Depending on which way the wind's blowing
It's a tough life if you don't weaken
My advice to you guys is this...
GO WITH THE FLOW!
As hard as that may seem at times
Not to say we should always succumb
But compromise is the key word here
NOTHING is so important
That it stops us from kissing and making up
The simple phrase...
“I'M SORRY” means so so much
True true love will win out every time
TRUST ME!
When few comments come in, I know it God's will.
He has something better for me in store to do.
I never feel alone or tearfully bereft.
Mans' moods, cannot steal my heart by theft.
Oh, they may try alright!
But it's only His will, that carries true might.
So dance when only a few comnents show.
It's nothing wrong with your poetry, I know.
Listen to the sound of your Divine Maker.
Stop trying to be a mover and a shaker!

When you go with the flow
it can lead to a nice pond,
relax, float upon your tube
amidst the leafy fronds.
But sometimes a nice flow
doesn’t end good at all,
sometimes that river flings
you off a waterfall.
Should you go with the flow?
Well I can’t help you there,
but if you go with the flow
it is best to take care.
You may end up nowhere.
Not only did time run away
but it skipped over many days
time has a way of meandering
finding it's own path
we get a glimpses into that world
but the sands of time keep running
it moves and forces us to move with it
it does not stop but we may stop
to smell the flowers along the way
it does not care it just keeps going
it will not stop so we must learn to
carry on and make the best of each day.
Dear sweet lover
I'm yours to the end
More than a lover
An life long friend
Morns when I wake
To your cheery hello
All's well with the world
I feel all aglow
Why am I blessed
With a love so immense
Love without boundaries
A feeling so intense
The cynics will scoff
Say I'm living a dream
It's not real life
My feelings too extreme
I say to these doubters
Trust in your heart
It's given life a meaning
Right from the start
It's really quite simple
Just trust in your soul
Let passions guide you
And go with the flow!
Have you peeled the flesh of day the way
it looks into your pained face? Cuddle the heart,
let it be content in going with life’s flow
allowing rafters of gratitude to claim a lilting start;
in mellow traces unbound by grief for dreams to glow.
Lift the rhapsody of fireflies greeting your skirt
with beads of smiles running with feet on a spree,
fling the moment around, taste its wine or sleep on it;
this is the day simply meant to be free
billowing on skies made of renewed hope so godly lit.

So much confusion clouding my mind
Spinning so fast no peace to find
Shall I, will I, can I, should I
Doubt upon doubt,
Thoughts like a fast train
Changing at every station
What’s done can’t be changed
What’s changed is my salvation
Why dwell on answers to questions that haven’t evolved
Take your time girl said the voice of reason
Be confident, be bold
There’s no need to rush, chill and take it slow
The music is playing relax and go with the flow.
I keep thinking about you. This wouldn't be a problem if I didn't want you. If I didn't
have a man. Someone who seems so perfect for me. Someone who won't
understand if I leave him. But do I want to I am so conflicted. I shiver from your
touch but I also shiver from his. You make me smile constantly but so does his
sweet words begging for forgiveness. I desire your touch. When i'm around you I
desire you more than anything. You have me thinking about what I want to do to
you. But oh god I have a man. What am I to do? I don't want to be alone; yet i'm
tired of being confused. Who do I to choose?
