Premium Member Tea

Tea
is a powerful potion
giving us the power
to step back
and look at the big picture
in order to solve
the next and upcoming big problems


Premium Member Constellation

A constellation
is the big picture one sees
when connecting each star
so all the traits on a person or thing
can be seen for what they really are

Respect Absurdity

You think you got the point
The big picture
Certainly that gives you confidence.

But you cannot understand
The limit is unplanned
Respect absurdity.

Premium Member zooming out

one day we’ll use our fingers again ~ to pinch library books not screens 

the big picture could be theft of knowledge ~ with a loss of subroutines

dot to dot, the game dolts play,
ignoring the big picture.
it’s obvious.
blind man’s bluff.

at the late hour —
THE dragon

Premium Member Mind

The mind
is an ever-changing abstract palace
with infinite depths of uniqueness
in every floor and room
especially at the center,
where one can see the big picture

Color Spirit

Trouble pins fall down
Matters how you treat them
Give no recognition
See and not see ruling
Let not fret enter
Hold fast 
What really matters
Big picture 
Ever lasting

Premium Member Rainbow

A rainbow
is the big picture
of a person's character
showing the whole spectrum of their individuality
elegantly like a perfectly shining clear diamond
glowing with authenticity

Off The Kool-Aid

You have my
vote
But not my
mindset
Where once
engaged
I’ve moved
along

No longer
hooked
On every
soundbite
Big picture
focus
The right
— from wrong

Premium Member Peas In a Pod

Where is it written countries must be at odds All part of the big picture all peas in a pod Some feel inferior But no one's superior All part of the overall scheme, no one is God

Premium Member Keeping An Open Mind

Just as refusing eyes
Never have vision
Of the big picture,

A deaf ear,
Hears only crowd noise,
Not it's whisperings.

Both are signs of an intellect
Reluctant to compromise,
Or void of understanding.

Big Picture Tease

Bogged down in the details,
truth is undone

Swimming through the corn flakes,
milk overruns

Looking at the forest,
seeing just trees

Life micromanaged
—big picture tease

Words To Finally Live By

Sometimes in order to step forward
You must first take a step back
Grab another long look all around you
Breathe in a deep breath
See the big picture
Take it in for what it is
And what it could and will be
Then proceed

You Can Do Better

You can do better 
Do not settle for mediocrity 
Get that fire 
In order to build your world successfully 
See the big picture 
Have the ability to think large 
Be the inspiration 
Have wisdom and knowledge to take charge

Premium Member The Big Picture

Now
I’m left 
believing;
Something’s bigger 
then what I can see;
Maybe I’m here for more,
now I sense the big picture;
Two halves are now a perfect fit;
Sucked into a voracious black hole,
gazing upon the cosmos in your eyes.

No Objection

No Objection

From his mind he needed protection
And no one had an objection
Picture of Carson we saw
That really grabbed my craw
Was with Jesus' at His resurrection.

I remember Ben having a big picture

Assembling the Pieces

Assembling the Pieces

Broken pieces
Here upon my table
Sort them out

Many shapes like problems
Here within my life
Work them out

Match together pieces
Try to make it whole
Challenging

Big picture 
Keep within your head
Gives direction

Finish puzzle
Gives you satisfaction

One For Big, One For Small

my last appointment
my doctor let slip
"Alice... i mean
jeff" and then
i knew it
just was
n't me
but
my
i

at
least
thought
more than
me because
my frame doesn't
fit the big picture but
seems to keep a frame
of particularly peculiar mind

thoughts that
i caught my
self not so
cautiously
throwing
into the
wind

Premium Member Is Texting Worth Your Life

I am irritated that people do not drive any more
They are so busy texting, they do not get the big picture.
They look up intermittently, but not often enough
Not realizing that every truck and car is a potential weapon
Until one hits them head on
By then it may be too late
Is texting” I will be there in five” really that important?

Premium Member Vistas

Voice how you feel,
Ink a new say;
Glimpse touch that heals,
Niche joy this day;
Enter a zone,
Time for sure choice;
Taste healing tones,
Endow calm poise;
See ink stains surge.
Verse in flood tide;
Imprints that merge,
Sense lovely strides;
Tint big picture,
Art funds fixtures.

Evolution

Lizard Brain begins
to approach pleasure
and avoid pain
awakening a hypocampus
for safety
within the herd.
Slowly snapses fire
to begin thinking,
growing human,
rationalizing ... 
surely it must be
the neocortex
to overcome and become
Angel Brain
(in order to finally see
the big picture)
as a persistent
Lizard Brain
crawls around
the halo.

Premium Member Pick Up the Pieces

Listen to poem:
It might have all been illusion
Your dreams now lay shattered
Your whole life seems in shambles
Don’t despair

Hold your head high
Reset your sights on the big picture
Reevaluate your ambitions
Pick up and juggle the pieces

Rebuild the puzzle
Take time to refocus
Time to recalibrate
And not lose balance

Moses Mosey

Have the light in the small
take hands accross hate
smelling of self,
realizing the big picture real
we really are beyond us,
dwarfing ego to the all
systems go on around us.
We are a part not wholly aware
but big truths can be learned,
drumming in our beyonds,
So our behinds don't fall
into abyss full self
we make our lives not part.
Apart the sea.
Rise.
