THE ANTICIPATION
Poems by Uncle John
the
whole world in his hands
SPACE & LIGHT
Cold or hot in here
In the changing atmosphere
In the space allowed
In a crowd the light is loud
Starry-eyed
Galaxy
Bridge between worlds
Gallantly
Timing to purpose
Work diligently
Shed light earnestly
Artfully remarkably
Space and light
Amazing perspective
Physical spiritual
Intellectual objective
STAY OR GO
Follow my instincts do I know
My oh my oh oh whoa
Will I stay
Or shall I go
To the desert hemisphere
A pop up town where
A mirage is there
In a maze here
Anticipation
Inspiration
Dedication
Transformation
Follow your heart you know
My oh my oh oh whoa
Will you stay
Or shall you go
THE EMPRESS
She is the best
Knows how to press
No nonsense
She is an empress
Be strong
Stay light
Show kind
All fine
The blue horizon where
The star we seen
In visions where here
There are no dreams
Tomorrow is today
In a way
Star you are arrives
Confidence & patience thrives
THE CHILDREN
The darkness is happening
The true light shines through
Greater is the spirit in us
Than one in the world lying to you
Be true guardians
Watchful and attentive
Protective
Of the innocent children
Loyal
Loving
Playful
Cling
The children sing
Again and again
All the king´s horses
And all the king´s men
tURBULENCE & tRANQUILITY
Turbulence conflicts & tranquility finds
To overcome be ready steady & kind
Spiritual & physical & open our minds
For better times
Storms of life toss & turn around
Flashes of light & warning sounds
Turbulent times in the world
Tranquility eyes mirrors of pearls
Lord, help us through the night
For everyone to see
The morning waking with daylight
& find tranquility
Winter shall bring the cold you know
Spring the flowers shall bloom & grow
Summer heat sun and rain
Autumn wind moves the weather vane
WHO ARE YOU
Build yourself with who you are
Your instinctive nature & selection
Stay positive
Your magical connection
Focus & Believe
Channel your passion
Open your eye to who you
are
Light open you´re a star
Stirring emotion
Steering your heart
Staring at the reflection
Come ready to restart
Listening intuition
Lessons shared
Learning addition
Stay for the journey & be prepared
THE JOURNEY
New dawn begins can´t stay the
same
Time to gather and make it stand
The changes in the weather coming
Show you the harvest is at hand
He knows you by the spirit
He looks into your soul
And knows what you´re like
With your eyes upon a goal
Who cares about your happiness
Protects you from harmful effect
From every side and above
To bring you up on love
When you fulfill your purpose
And they know you by name
Gives you instinctive vision
The journey will never be the same
MetamorphOsis
When a child becomes a teen
When a teen becomes an adult
An adult in midlife
Metamorphosis changes us
A caterpillar crawls
Among the butterflies
Fit and positive
Mirror their eyes
Watching two cocoons ready to hatch
One to lift and one to catch
From the heart we see a match
Flexing wings & practice the
snatch
Dark beauty & light sensation
Night falls from sky in transformation
Developmental change in anticipation
Striking appearance with alteration
WHEN THE TIME CHANGE COMES
When the time change comes
The work begun
Brings the rising sun
Expectation end of night anticipation
Authentic and nurturing integrity
Watching the nation
Change yields sensation
Elucidating smiles of inspiration
Sisters rejoice love in the light
Work out to energize
When you close the night
Extending wings in exercise
Butterfly hair & inner strength
Transforms the mind extends length
Confidence & patience you find
Exuberant you are & by design
Love and time
Dances to your tune
The journey was hot follow inside
Explore a way to the end of gloom
View the top of the mountain
We´re guided by the light of a moon
The sun comes around bringing a tune
Eyes the morning flowers in bloom
Heart in motion hear today
Let us dance let us stay
Listen in your favorite gown
Experience the band building sound
Bass fiddles guitars & violins
Parade of horns drums and accordion
We overcome we´re frolicsome
Expression follows time change come
Kids are singing
King Dumpty built a wall
The highest biggest wall of all
He sat on top of his giant wall
King Dumpty had a great fall
The children sing again & again
All the king´s horses
And all the king´s men
Couldn´t put him together again

family tell their story in tales,

songs, art, and dance
Lady Liberty:
It seems you can´t please everyone
And you don´t
want to antagonize;
Everybody´s got so much to say
They could say better with
their eyes.
