TASTY FOOD

the type of food we chose to buy
correlates with our internal state
bright food enhances our heart

fresh food speaks of our self worth
if we go for fruits that are bruised or a bit off
we are guided by our personality shadows

we might think we are inclusive in our food
while unconsciously catering to our dark side
as our prevalent beliefs guide our actions

the variety of choices we make
when selecting what we consume
speaks of our internal emotional map

what we put inside our body forms
the structure and building blocks
of our very own cells

with an open mind and some conscious
awareness we can reshape our physicality
with new fresh liquid, pulp and energy

the key to improved cells
lies in our mindfulness
we need to learn to eat to live

rather than being dependent on flavor
look at the nutrients and benefits
of each mouthful of food

let’s take note of the natural kingdom
we are a bit detached and lost
in our ability to discern what matters

less dependency on taste of food
leads to more life to enjoy
now just to make that switch!

MIDDAY POETRY – ‘Cold’

deep red mug of hot lemon water
inhaling the fresh aroma with each sip
missing a touch of honey

antique wooden table shows wear and tear
too many parties held around it
time to spend some money

chilly wind is picking up outside
in the land of ice and snow
the nose gets runny

listen to the sounds out the window
crickets break the sound of silence
wait for the day the sky is sunny

when new orange sunrise awakens
roos jumping in the falling snowflakes
what could be more funny

MIDDAY POETRY – ‘The Belly’

disappearing waistline
weight of extra pounds
restricted breathing
wheezing sounds

water in the kettle
boiled to drink
per wisdom of sages
makes ones belly shrink

armed by soft tissue
cells of squishy fat
cover years of abuse
one reason for that

search for solutions
slim shake that fails
give it a try and then
buy larger scales

MIDDAY POETRY – ‘Cushy Diet’

could it be called finicky
choosing food that has no face
frying bugs for lunch
saving the bum of human race

ice cubes on a plate
the vegan special best of all
zero fat and zilch of sugar
plus low cholesterol

wash it down with soda water
full of bubbles large and small
satiety in the belly
can it last from spring to fall

feed for livestock toasted oats
rainforests on the brink
those above in cushy seats
have no brain to think
