some days
are set before us
unordered--
go where
the river

Angel choir rippling through air
the swaying nature
roses stay beautiful
trees stand proud
grass dancing like fire
water going with the flow
a heavenly angelic garden
as perfect as Northern Lights...

There are several terminologies used to describe
relaxing,

Resting, Meditating or observing,

"Kicking It" is an indirect way of enjoying
the world,

Without formality,

just allowing "it" to unfurl,

Going with the flow until life
reveals itself,

remaining vigilant until God sends help....

It's not about the date of your death,
your emptiness is all around.
Life is going on its flow,
but the heart is not rhythmic with the same old sound.
When a string breaks, 
though others can play sound,
but it's no longer the same,
the old tunes are never be found.
It's not about the date of your death,
dear, your emptiness is all around....

Choosing to stay or move on who chooses
At time things just seems to just stand still
Then from nowhere something just change
Are we our own destiny maker or is it fate
Life it can be far more than if we envisage
You spend time pondering what if I did it
Sometimes going with the flow changes it
Tomorrow it is a product of today and past...

If you listen to the wind,
     you will know the direction to go.

If you plant your feet on the earth,
     you will know how to find balance.

If you watch a flickering flame,
     you will learn to dance to your own beat.

If you feel water in motion
     you will value going with the flow.

The banks along the river control the flow
each depositor deposits sediments of sentiments
sharing wealth of journeys winding endurance....
every gurgling ripple along with tumbling stone
light sounds forecasting future growths continuation,
as the water's song endear us.....
....waters nourishment adheres us,
into crystaline forms from carbon copy,
..........awaiting final polishing effect.........

wu wei is the path of Tao
of going with the flow of nature
a metaphor of water
which adapts to any shape
always flowing
always yielding
soft, yet in time can cut
and shape rock

                       a lesson of Tao

Wildlife photograph of the year 2024
Polar bear asleep on iceberg remnant

The bear necessities 

Here I slumber 
here I stay
My world is melting 
and I’m miles away
Drifting off to sea 
dreaming what will be 
Going with the flow
Where else can I go
My pillow feels nice 
I listen to the ice 
its shrinking voice 
Telling me 
to get a larger bed
Full steam ahead 
in over my head

Thought I was goin’ nowhere,
But then you stood by me.
Showed me your love and care.
You crashed into me.

I’m never letting you go.
This is where I want to be.
I’m just going with the flow,
So please stand by me.

You’re what I want,
And you’re what I need.
You’ve got everything,
For me to succeed. 

Look me in these eyes of blue,
Tell me what you see.
I’m not wearin’ a disguise,
So please stand by me....

It starts out as a little drop of kindness
then it slowly wines its way down to a stream
That stream pours politeness, into the river of respect
which makes the sea of love, burst at its seams
So next time you're standing on hot sand
and the waves come to comfort weary toes
Remember those little drops of kindness
That comes from going with the flow

My soul is wild
The weed has increased my vision
Going with the flow
Puffin on my joint
Singing laughing dancing
Everything is gunna be alright
My soul has a grip 
Tightly on my brain
Breath in exhale
So much love for mary jane
I do not hate
My soul is flowing
Its dancing around my veins
If I close my eyes
I might loose my mind
 A Smokey haze surrounds my face
Touch me once twice 
In and out
My soul is wild...

Years ago, when my kids were small,
We danced at night and had a ball 
When we were in our country house,
A custom we should all espouse.

Years later, here we are once more,
With grandkids on the dancing floor,
Both moving to the radio,
Their dad just going with the flow.

Of course, their nana joins the fun, 
Her smile the wattage of the sun,
For words cannot describe the joy
Of dance, the grandkids and her boy....

Spend some time alone in introspection
Weigh yourself against the status quo
Suddenly you’ll realize on reflection
Every body’s going with the flow
To stand alone while others hurry faster
Requires a steady lean against the  rush
And like a rock within a stream of falling
The shelter you provide will be a rill
A place for life to feed and spawn or rest
A haven for the sands of time to fill
Mayhap a seed will tree to hold a nest...

On the crest of a wave, riding high
Stop it, stop the words "the end is nigh"
Just enjoy the moment, that's what I crave
Riding high, on the crest of a wave

Contrasts enhance, high and low
Living is about going with the flow
Be happy maybe take the chance
High and low, contrasts enhance

Navigate the ocean, follow the stars
Don't imprison yourself behind invisible bars
Embrace the joy, when you get the notion
Follow the stars, navigate the ocean...

Just going with the flow
As one is known
Undecidable at that moment
Doing a show
Non-thinking a possibility
As the days pass on
Out of the blue
Thrown at you
Just a quick thought
As if it was bought
Not realizing
If this is the time for it all
Oh no, Rather do things now
And then later maybe fall
Not good
Nor bad, so sad
Just a relaxation from a thought
Creations, lasting views
More exciting news
What now?
Pending reviews.
All eyes on you....

I can never do it all again 
knowing what I know
bid time return, be young again, 
going with the flow.

My youthful days are behind me now
well spent and wasted both 
if I could do it all again would 
there be some growth? 

Would I do it all differently 
a second time around? 
or would I throw away again 
the only love I ever found?

I can never do it all again
because I have a chicken-heart
even with a second chance 
I wouldn't know where to start.
