Ups Poems

Life Is Like A Violin's Sound

As the maestro meticulously draws sound from the strings,
Feelings and sensations the music brings.
A skilled violinist performing with skill,
Can lull your heart and make it still.

The maestro has a story to tell,
And with his violin he tells it well.
Quickly rising with a higher pitch,
Then fallings again as in a ditch.

Bow across strings faster and faster,
A

Ups and Downs

Processing grief is an overwhelming process
of momentous highs and lows -
which can bring the joy of a wonderful
memory and the next moment
brings the lows of the crushing loss
but HOPE shows itself as life continues

Please Tell Me: A Response to the Film 'Grown Ups'

Please tell me it’s summer every day of the year.

Please tell me that Aerosmith plays from the sky.

Please tell me that heaven’s a basketball court.

Please tell me that everyone’s life has a point.

Please tell me that no one is ever alone.

Please tell me that dying is easily explained.

Please tell me that broken birds get back

Proud To Serve

I’m proud to serve, that’s true as hell,
But sometimes I wonder why we’re here to rebel—
Not against the mission, not against the fight,
But the brass and the game that fogs up the right.
They say it’s a brotherhood, shoulder to shoulder,
But I see ‘em slicked up, gettin' rank over the bolder.
The ones who dodge grime, fresh-pressed

Whittled Mind

The whittle mind of self-reflection
Within a tiny bit of self-doubt
Coming from a stressful day
Life has its ups and downs that way
Can't say I enjoy it
can seem to do without it

Just another up and down day oh well

You look at life differently
With  total inside wit
get ideas and let them flow
which life has one doing some

More Ups Than Downs

Life has many ups and downs
Personally more ups than downs
A happy life with many more years
A bunch more smiles than frowns

Surely one of the fortunate ones
The genes were a very huge factor
Nine girls and me at a baseball team
Each game we had our own sector

Yup nine girls and then li'l ole me
The talk of our

Pendulum - Ups and Downs

A lifetime swings good, bad, and back
Toil shows us what we lack.
Brave lessons learned
hard earned,

how high we fly,

Ups and Downs

A Simultaneous Existence,

Exists Within us.

Making a difference,

Different than you Think.

Connecting Emotions and Energy,

Silently driving Society.

Quietly Implying words you Say,

We blindly pave the way.

Navigating Physicality,

Through this Maze of Reality.

Trapped By Desires,

Wrapping us In Fire.

Smoke Obstructing,

Suffocating our way to be.

Feelings of Negativity,

Run Rampantly.

Simultaneously up and down,

Through Humanity.

Effecting Everyone you see,

Tainting their energy.

Changing So Slightly,

You start Sinking.

Thinking,

Digging up

Real screw-ups walk with God

Hello Lord! It's your child Ken.
I've slipped back into bad habits again.
I know that they aren't good for me.
I ask again for  grace to set me free.
You've done this many times before.
Each time your word, I chose to ignore.
Whenever I fail to keep it in sight.
That's when I stop doing things that are right.

Uncertainty

Lives with certainty

In the province

Of separation..

Unknowing of the

Story of uncertainty

And its partner may

Tell a new story

Of  freedom

Unleashed...



Uncertainty

Appearing certain

May seem as 

Propelling a

Rising of a

Blessing of

Not knowing...

Of separation...



Resurrection

Of the religion

Seems to involve

A non-separate

Grown-Ups Saga

We're grown-ups being
A caregiver and fixer
Of our own mistakes.

Portal Of Life

I navigate through the portal of life 
Walk past the corridors 
Where light and shadows play
Welcoming each twist and turn
Accepting the ups and downs
Guiding my path to my destiny
Facing life's storms
With fortitude and resilience 
Crafting me into who I am  
The echoes of the past 
Reverberates across the hallway
Where the past and present meet

Fade

I breathe hurt
What if all those rumors were true?
The rumors that shipping two young people together only made it true?
What if those rumors were so true that I tried so hard to make things work when I realized I was rushing?
No, it didn’t go that far, 
My one true friend isn’t with me, not in

The Letter

I went to jail
                            Yo I couldn't make bail
