Motivation

                       Motivation

Long ago, we would take pride.

To climb a mountain to see what’s on the other side.

It seems now there are now more mountains to climb.

Are we done while still in our prime?

Instead of literal mountains, there are others.

In science, space exploration, whatever your druthers.

Search for answers to the unknown.

Answers to mysteries can be shown.

We have much left yet to explore.

Is that opportunity knocking on your door?

Pick a topic and dive right in.

You say you don’t know where to begin?

Research is a good starting place.

See what others have learned to date.

Become an expert in your field.

Whatever it is, there is much to be revealed.

Whether you are touching on things to change the world.

Or, just an imaginary world you bring to herald.

Whatever it is, always do your best.

The results will be excellent, I would guess.

It will make a better man of you.

A better world to slip into.

The Mandela Effect

              The Mandela Effect

Have you heard of the Mandela Effect?

It seems most people have not yet.

This is what they say it displays.

It is unbelievable in every way.

People remember Mandela as a leader.

The South Africa head honcho leader.

Others say he died in prison.

What do you remember of this schism?

One or the other scenario is right.

To say both are right leads to a fight.

Yet, how can both be right?

It is enough to make you uptight.

Is it a parallel universe crossover?

Has the matrix theory blown its cover?

There is something to be said for all this.

It gives life in general a real twist.

Lots of other things don’t add up.

Usually small things that don’t disrupt.

Can you notice something different ?

Very minor to which you are indifferent?

It’s a very strange world Master Jack.

Funny how this song states this fact.

It is something for us all to think on.

Like some hair is brown and others blonde.

If you think it is all a bunch of baloney.

Don’t feel bad, you won’t be lonely.

But, if there is something to it.

What does it mean? I have no clue to fit.

Just theories, one more mystery of life.

Tension so high you could cut it with a knife.

I will leave further contemplation to you.

Maybe you will come up with a legitimate clue.

Math Genius

                         Math Genius

He was an average, ordinary teenage boy.

Then he slipped and fell, tripping over a toy.

He was hospitalized with a concussion.

His accident caused quite a disruption.

Several days later he started seeing numbers.

He could do math without any blunders.

Before, he was an average math student.

Now, at math, he was very prudent.

He did math like a computer in his head.

Finally, he was well enough to leave his bed.

He was tested in many ways.

He never failed to amaze.

He was faster than a super computer.

100% accurate with all computes here.

He did it all in his head without problem.

Any problems given,  he would solve them.

His fame spread far and wide.

Soon, he was carrying himself with pride.

He was asked to work for NASA.

Can you solve what we ask ya?”

He could with no problem at all.

His word would be the final call.

Then, on a manned flight into space.

A problem arose that needed haste.

He was called in to help.

He could solve the problem in time, they felt.

On his way he tripped and fell.

Hit his head hard, they could tell.

When he woke up he knew no math.

He was less than average now in that.

His days of fame and glory were over.

He could not have felt any lower.

He felt like he could flip his lid.

His flame burned out long before his legend did.

Now, he is again an average high school kid.

But, it was great remembering all that he did.

Stress Is A Killer

              Stress Is A Killer

The stress is killing you. Let it go.

As the Paul McCartney song says. Let it be.

No one else really needs to know.

Let it go and you will be free.

Stress and worry is a killer.

It will bring you down.

It is worse than whipped cream filler.

Before long, you will no longer be around.

Get rid of stress, whatever it takes.

Exercise, vacation, even meditation.

You will sleep better and do better when awake.

I don’t think anyone needs that aggravation.

It manifests itself in a number of diseases.

You won’t be aware till it is too late.

With continued denial, it increases.

With the grim reaper, you will have a date.

Get rid of what is stressing you out.

Turn off the nightly news, if it’s the cause.

Maybe bills or health is what it’s about?

Time to sit back and take a pause.

Financial planners or doctors may help.

Relaxing music may do the trick.

Find what you like by checking Yelp.

Just don’t let relief give you the slip.

It can be a matter of life and death.

Something not to be ignored.

Take advantage of what you have left.

It is in your best interest, I implore.

Life Goes On

            Life Goes On

Skipping across the sea.

Flying fast and flying free.

Butterflies bursting into flame.

Everything is going insane.

The day before the sun didn’t shine.

Yet, I found this friend of mine.

We hiked through the driving rain.

Anything to wash away the pain.

Wash the memories from our mind.

It’s the best way to be kind.

Our jet skis are running low on fuel.

At least I am here with you.

Everywhere is a total waste.

Can this be our final fate?

We see a spit of land ahead.

A small island, isolated, it is said.

Fresh water, food, a way to live.

We have nothing left to give.

Man has tried to kill us all.

None were ready for the fall.

Hopefully, here, we will be left alone.

There is nowhere else that we can roam.

Paradise lost and paradise found.

We don’t know to smile or frown.

All we know is we will survive.

Despite all, it’s good to be alive.

Here To Stay

                   Here To Stay

Early in the morning.

By the window, the day is dawning.

Those good vibrations are coming through.

Today, I think I will be with you.

It is growing across the morning meadow.

That brightness that reflects off metal.

And shows me that the time has come.

When you and I will soon be one.

I hear your knocking at the door.

You are finally here once more.

I think today that you might stay.

My life will be better in every way.

You complete me and make me whole.

There is a lot I want you to know.

It might take a lifetime to tell it all.

Not just from spring until the fall.

You are here. I want you to stay.

Then, things will be better in every way.

The Wizard’s Worst Nightmare (Epilog)

The Wizard’s Worst Nightmare (Epilog)

The Wizards were home and happy again.

They had made some new friends.

Though they lived very far away.

The Wizards could zap there any old day.

The Others’, now known as Grays,

often came for a time to play.

The Wizards told them of earth, their home.

To its people, magic was no longer known.

The Wizards tried to guide them best they could.

The Grays offered to help. Felt they should.

Today, they are known as ancient aliens.

Often disguised by magic, they weighed in.

Today, known as Grays, they are around.

They are watching, it is found.

The Wizards stay way in the background.

They know people don’t want magic around.

Are they still located on Vantera now?

Probably, but no way to find out how.

They still work closely with the Grays.

Making sure things go their way.

Someday, maybe magic will return to earth.

Grays will be our friends, for what it’s worth.

As we close this chapter of Wizard history.

Keep in mind, all is still a mystery.

We have used our imagination for a story.

Just to give them a little glory.

Until next time, may all be well.

Till I have another story to tell.

The Wizard’s Worst Nightmare (Chapter Six)

The Wizard’s Worst Nightmare (Chapter Six)

The Others’ felt they had no option.

They lost when they had fought them.

They came real close to winning.

It had been so from the beginning.

The Wizards didn’t let them know this.

They wanted to help, was their wish.

The Others’ said ‘What do we do now?’

One will go home with you somehow.’

Once there, she will check it out.’

Determine if we can bring this about.’

Anika agreed to be the one to go.

She had abilities needed for the show.

Arrangements were made for this.

She gave Sirle a really big kiss.

Do not worry. All will be fine”

She was ready to leave on time.

‘The Others’ said it would take a week +.

Using a worm hole and top thrust,

The Others’ should be home in a rush.

Anika wasn’t sure what all that meant.

She would leave a magical scent.

A trail that the other Wizards could follow.

Once there, they would have it to follow.

The alien ships shot out of sight.

The speed they traveled was a fright.

During the trip, Anika learned what she could.

About ‘The Others’, their planet, what she should.

A week + later they circled a planet.

Big, and beautiful. Looking like granite.

The sun was extremely bright.

They said this was an increase in light.

Anika felt overwhelming magical power there.

It seemed to be coming from everywhere.

Positive and negative energy waves.

Strong enough to make things seem a haze.

Warlocks used the negative energy.

Wizards used the positive energy.

Anika would need all the help she could get.

She told ‘The Others’ she was set.

She needed all Wizards to zap there.

Her wand sent the message with power to spare.

Within minutes, wizards started zapping in.

The Others’ were totally chagrinned.

The Wizards had to form a mental matrix.

Handling positive and negative energy basics.

They had to equalize, neutralize, and stabilize.

They had to do it on the first try.

They had never tried anything to this extent before.

In theory, it should work, but when they opened that door?

They were ready and innerlocked their minds.

The Wizards were using all the energy they could find.

They were all sweating and shaking with the mental effort.

Of all their training, this was a new excerpt.

Nothing happened at first that ‘The Others’ could tell.

Then, the size of their sun slowly fell.

It became smaller and dimmer.

Soon, they knew they had a winner.

The sun was back the way it used to be.

The Wizards all fell down. Totally exhausted, you see.

The Others’ were overjoyed and helped them all up.

A huge feast was held. They drank from the cup.

They agreed to forever live in peace.

They would often get together for more feasts.

They would help each other anyway they can.

That was good news for the future of man.

In a few days, all the Wizards zapped home.

That was the farthest they would ever roam.

But, they had made new friends.

A friendship that would last till the end.

Their handling of negative energy had taken its toll.

Not something they would make a daily goal.

The Wizard’s worst nightmare was over.

They were back playing and rolling in clover.

The Wizard’s Worst Nightmare (Chapter Five)

The Wizard’s Worst Nightmare (Chapter Five)

The Wizards were in their meeting hall.

It was time for ‘The Others’ to call.

The Others’ fired on the meeting hall.

Their strongest weapon will kill them all.

The hall was protected by a magical shield.

It glowed brightly, but didn’t yield.

The Others’ cheered. Were they all dead?.

They came down to investigate instead.

The Wizard’s dropped the shield.

The Others’ entered to see what was revealed.

The place was vacant? How could that be?

We saw them all come in here didn’t we?’

The Wizards had already zapped out.

They were untrustworthy. They had no doubt.

The Wizards knew when ‘The Others’ fired.

They knew immediately they were liars.

They had ‘The Others’ trapped inside the hall.

They could easily kill them all.

But, that is not what they had in mind.

They would get what they want, given time.

The Wizard’s zapped in and raised all shields.

The Others’ tried to fire their fazers.

They had less effect than a laser.

The Wizards said ‘We could kill you now.’

But, we want to talk first, somehow.’

‘We want to know what brought you here?’

Is there something that you fear?’

The Others’ decided to play it straight.

Leave it to the Wizards to decide their fate.

They left their world to avoid a Nova.

Their sun was to soon go Nova.

They didn’t know what was causing this.

But, they could detect signs, against their wish.

Their world was much larger than Vantera.

They needed other worlds near here. Yeah.

Their population had to relocate to live.

Remorse was pouring out like a sieve.

The Wizards asked for more info on a Nova.

The Others’ said ‘The sun will grow. Yeah.’

‘Our home world will perish. It will burn up.’

‘No way to avoid it, regardless your luck.’

‘Over time, the sun will shrink to a dwarf star.’

‘If near, you are dead, wherever you are.’

The Wizards speculated the cause.

The magical teachers said, after a pause.

It can only be dark and light matter.’

Possibly something else, but we guess the latter.’

Drawn in by their sun, it becomes concentrated.’

It reaches a point where the sun is inundated.’

It is too much of both. The sun then expands.’

The result is death to all who are near.’

They have much that they need to fear.’

Can we do anything to help them out?’

We possibly can stop it, if things work out.’

How can you stop a Nova from happening?’

We have abilities that you obviously don’t.’

We can’t explain it, and we won’t.’

Time for you to start displaying some trust.’

If you can’t, then this meeting is a bust.’

If you can, we may save your home world.’

Nothing lost to try.—– Give it a whirl.’

Will ‘The Others’ decide to trust the Wizards?

There are desert worlds with nothing but lizards.

They would be better off on their home world.

Check back and see if they will give it a whirl.

The Wizard’s Worst Nightmare (Chapter Four)

The Wizard’s Worst Nightmare (Chapter Four)

The battle raged on all around.

Neither side gaining much ground.

Siran and Ansir said “Time to move.”

To zap back to their ship and include

a more complete report on things.

See what another visit to the enemy brings.

They zapped back to the ship’s hold.

They projected invisibility, as told.

Then, they explored the ship.

They found ‘The Others’ real quick.

In the control room they called a bridge.

They were trying to figure out what gives.

They knew nothing about magic,

They couldn’t detect it, which was tragic.

Tragic for them, because it upset their plans.

We have to capture an adult, if we can.’

Interview them. Do we have a plan?’

yes, that seems to be the best way.’

I will get to work on it right away.’

That one left the control room.

Ansir and Siran followed him soon.

They wrapped him in a magic grid.

Then zapped home with him hid.

They bound him with magical restraints.

They started the interview without complaints.

The other’ tried to hide his thoughts.

But, the amulet pulled them out, like blocks.

Soon, they knew all they needed to know.

Maybe now, they might let ‘The Other’ go.

But first, they made a deal with him.

Another talk would happen with them again.

The Wizards had to have more information.

A solution to it all could await them.

They detected a lot of distrust from ‘The Other.’

Ansir said ‘Maybe you should talk with my mother.’

Anika was called. She could bend wills, if needed.

She talked with ‘The Other’ while he pleaded.

All was carried out telepathically.

The Other’s’ ability for speech did lack, you see.

Anika used similar magic she had used before.

When she was ‘The Deceiver’ to her core.

It seemed to work and she convinced ‘The Other.’

They spoke the truth. Alternatives? There were no others.

The Other’ was released to return to his ship.

He delivered the Wizard’s message quick.

A meeting was planned for the next day.

The Wizards were prepared in every way.

Could ‘The Others’ be trusted to behave?

We will find out on the very next day.
