Choose Light - Poem


Choose Light

Darkness can take us over
I won’t let it
I’m not going to add to the problem
I will add to the solution
I will
The darkness is heavy duty
It knows what it’s doing
I respect it
I don’t fight it
I just don’t give in to it
I stay above it
I’m on top of it
Always
All the time
I choose to conquer it
Always
All the time
I choose to conquer it
We all have choice
Choose light
I stay above
Darkness is the ultimate defeat
I have to win
I must win
I do win.

Be Free And Shake It Off - Poem


Be Free And Shake It Off

All the past and all the world
Shrug it off
It’s too heavy for us
Be free of anything that holds you down
Shake it off
Move until the weight leaves you
We can do this
We can be free
The past is gone
There’s nothing you can do about it
Be free of the past
Shake it off
Nobody can carry the world
It’s too heavy
Don’t even try
Be free of weight
Be free and shake it off.

Everything Moves As One - Poem


Everything Moves As One

Load up
Overload
Only way to go
Move with power
Tear up the earth
Rip the world apart
Swing from the stars
Kick it
The world is ours
Now is ours
The future is ours
We own everything
We are everything
All nature
All mankind
It’s all one
Everything moves as one
Through history and the future.

The Future Is Good - Poem


The Future Is Good

See the future in the present
It’s invisible
It’s something
It’s coming at you
It’s coming at you
Ready or not
I want it
I’m ready
The future is good
I’m into it
I’ll love it no matter what shape it takes
The thought of it excites me
I’m pumped!
Jumped!
Psyched!
Excited!

Hard Lines - Poem


Hard Lines

It all falls into place
Once you make a strong decision
I run off hard lines
Clean definitions
I take a stand in the moment
Then I roll it across space and time
Works for me
I need hard lines
Taking a stand in the present
Alters my future for the better
I make the future happen by
Organising the present right now
Play your hand
Think about what you need
Make a decision and stick to it
Cut a clear line in the sand
Strike the present hard
Make the future how you want it
Back yourself
Lead your partner, and be lead by them
Both are needed
Lead with clarity and love
Receive with clarity and love
Operate the present and future
Like a professional.

The Best Parts Over And Over - Poem


The Best Parts Over And Over

Pick the best parts
The main bits
Work them over and over again
Stay with them forever
Never leave
They’re very important
Your partner, your work, your life
Stay with them
Over and over
You get more and more
As you give more and more
Longer time
Better results
Stay on it
Work it
You’re doing well
Keep going
Go through the rough patches
Don’t turn back
When problems come
When problems arise
Run over the top of them
Go for it
Go with it
Go through it
Over and over.

Give It A Kick - Poem


Give It A Kick

When you have the time
Go for it
When you find some space
Go hard for it
We only have so much life
Our time is a box
Maximise your square space
Push it all to the edge
Let it flow
Let it spill over the side
It’s our life
We have some control
Give it a kick
Have a shot
Pull down the stars
The sun is a vision of heaven
We can’t lose.

A Method For Power - Poem


A Method For Power

It’s a rush
I’m on the run
Only certain times for this
The spaces are limited
I maximise them
I work in a box
I set the timeframe
Wide open space drifts around
I channel lightning
I pull it down
I’m a machine
Maximum capacity
I push it
I overload
Simplify all parts
A method for power
A design to maximise what I have
A design to maximise what I don’t have
Harness the external forces
A plan
A practice of power.
