Trying To Be (New Poem) 7/26/11

As I open up another bottle of beer 
I reflect upon this life, yes this life.  
Summer-time is here.  And at this moment in 
time right now at this very second it actually feels 
like Summer.  Just like it‘s suppose to feel like.  
Summer-time is in full bloom as the night sky, 
the stars, and the Earth spin in space.  
Drinking beer. George Killian’s beer.  
A very good beer.  
A great tasting beer with an excellent 
vibrant red color that is full of perfect bliss.  
Yes, I know my senses are being clouded by 
the short lived effects of alcohol.  Yes, I know.  
Yes, I know this feeling will end.  
Yes, I know my senses are in control now.  
So when I come down from this pleasant feeling 
I will continue to live.  I will continue to find my-self 
and I will continue to serve something called 
Love, God, Krishna, and so on and so on.  
Right now I’m listening to a great band 
called Shelter, they’re freaking amazing.  
Check them out when you get a chance.  
Damn, I have to pee again.  
Trying to be a better person, trying to be better.  
Still learning, still learning.  
Trying everyday to be a better parent, just to be 
better than I was the day before.  Trying not to be 
so uptight, trying not to get mad at little things that 
can easily be fixed by a simple process called 
deep breathing and a little bit of well actually a lot 
of something called patience. That’s something that 
we all need.  Just trying to be a better person everyday. 
Just trying to, trying to, trying to.  Just trying to 
serve the Lord or God or Krishna or the 
Supreme Being better, somehow, some way.  
Just trying to remember that we are not these bodies.  
We are spirit souls.  We are spiritual beings living life 
as human beings trying to find our way, our way back home.
