Leave some space for god in this
I can’t be sure but I can’t dismiss
Let science decide the laws of force
The rhythm of life has set its course
Leave some space to chase the sun
Your life has only just begun
Try not to fear the lands unknown
They wont appear all on their own
Leave some space for a laugh or three
It could be worse you could be me
Don’t be grumpy it’s not all shite
Just look at your dad he turned out alright
Leave some space for love and dance
It only appears if you take a chance
It’s not always obvious but soon you’ll see
It was your mums love that set me free

Nah not me
Things are going way too good
Just the way I thought they would
Hit the numbers I said we’d hit
Out in front and we’re the shit
Like an eary breeze the mist sweeps in
A cloud with truth wafer thin
That old self doubt is here to last
The play is written and the set is cast
I’ll watch from the stalls
Observe the brawls
No chance it’s me
How could it be
Balls I’m up, huh, what the fuck
Thought I was watching and now I’m in luck?
Ok I’ll improvise and see how it goes
Find the courage and get back on my toes
I don’t care
I don’t care what they say
I don’t give a fuck
I know who I am
I’ll keep riding my luck
I’m Ben that’s right
They don’t know me
Even if they did
I can let it be
On a bad day it might hit
Only a jab nothing big
I don’t take it to heart
Or let it ponder or dig
Only on occasion I pause
To dwell or delay
It only hurts sometimes
The nasty things they say
Gravity
It seems to me, that gravity
Holds birds and bees, trees and leaves
Near the ground, without a sound
It can’t be found, but we are bound
Bound to the places, our bases
Real spaces and human faces
The power that grips the ships
And flips the drips
A force of sorts
Without remorse or changing course
Joins tight day and night
All in sight but light
Known but never shown
A bone you don’t own
A heart flown but not sewn
A clone all alone
New
To start a new
To start a fresh
Sticking at it
Is the test
A diet, a book
What could it be
A poem a week
The task for me
Taking a moment
To sit and see
Brighter the colours
Appear to be
Perhaps I’ll find
Some stories untold
Or hidden truths
Left to grow old
Medium
Beware of the Medium. Creativity is surreptitious. Shot from the galapagos. From nowhere and anywhere Don't be afraid get it out there. Go Short. Learn from what you share. Commit to positive change. Go long. Fear of judgement will freeze creativity. This will lead to negativity Listen obsessively. Embrace your sensitivity. Live openly. Execute instantly. Commit to the change you want to see. Do it both in the moment and the long term. Or you'll morph into Medium
Feel the breeze, forget the block
When the wheels turn oh they turn
When they stop oh they stop
Go break through the walls, break through the rock
But are you feeling the breeze, or are you seeing block?
You can’t do real shit without doing real shit
The balance will tip, you’ll find solace in it
Push to your limit go further again
Do it Ben. Do it then
You won’t settle the debt that is stuck in your head
You won’t toe the line and end up all fine
But you’ll find what your missing what you’ve already got
You’ll feel the breeze, you’ll forget the block
