Times Gift
by Barbara Tremblay Cipak

Time heals
Promising closure,
Shrinking scars like popping bubbles,
As it prepares our gift, Times benefaction
is objectivity to our past,
Building an awareness of yesteryears,
Defogging our vision for truth,
Generously donating our package of clarity

Time lies only to those
who misuse its precious moments,
Lines entrenched on our face
can devour redeemable blemishes,
By gracefully accepting our package
healing eyes can widen to witness dissipating mist

Time promises blessed tomorrows,
Let us put away our spinning wheels,
plunge forward with our lesson,
accept our bequest from Time, and yes!
We will have morning smiles


Outnumbered
by Barbara Tremblay Cipak

They're finding joy in other people's pain
we just can't
They're finding laughter while someone suffers
we simply don't
They're finding acceptance in being uneducated
we absolutely won't
They're finding justification for being intolerant
we can never
They're finding heartache in a lost sporting event
we don't get it
They're finding happiness in winning
we know it's irrelevant
They're finding satisfaction in self indulgence
we aim to create balance
We're finding joy when there is no pain
they think that's impossible
We're finding laughter when it doesn't hurt someone else
they find that funny
We're finding acceptance through education
they believe knowledge is over-rated
We're finding heartache where there is suffering
they think we're pathetic
We're finding happiness when it's win-win
they believe there's always a loser
We find satisfaction when the weak can indulge
they can't
We feel outnumbered
They feel outnumbered
Truth
All of the above is a trap
There is no They
There is no We
It's Us
Together we stand
Together we choose words to inspire
Together we share the burdens
Together we relish in the joy
Together we love this earth
Together we create change

You're Sitting On My Life!
Your're Leaving!

by Barbara Tremblay Cipak
(Song Lyrics Needing Music)


(VERSE 1)
The front door swung open and blew in my world
The winds of pain
the air of heartache
Invites herself in
it wasn’t my plan
I’m not negative but here she comes anyway
Trying to steal my day, trying to have her way

(CHORUS)
Holding this force ripping it down
I’m not yours for the taking
Get out of my life
I don’t want to fight
You can’t win, I won’t lose
You’re leaving

(VERSE 2)
Stuck in the vortex called “YOUR WORLD”
I rip off my iron cast
Don’t think for a minute your garbage is mine
I’m in it, I’m done trying,
I’m past all your trash, my time’s moving fast
You’re in it, I’m done lying
Move over your sitting on my life

(CHORUS)
Holding this force ripping it down
I’m not yours for the taking
Get out of my life
I don’t want to fight
You can’t win, I won’t lose
You’re leaving

(VERSE 3)
I’ve set myself free from your negativity
Stop crying rainbow tears in black
the color of your heart, like mine, is pink
you can’t change that, with the way you think,
you can’t change that in me
I cry tears to be away from you,
Crushed, I’m positively free

(BRIDGE TO CHORUS)
Holding a force
Knowing my course
I travel the distance without you
I’m never without you
But I’m free, positively free
Get out of my life
I don’t want to fight
You can’t win,
I won’t lose
You’re leaving
You’re leaving



You Don't Have to Stink
To Be Good!

by Barbara Tremblay Cipak

After nine months of Hockey
Big Fred finishes a great season
done with the sweating,
the workouts and freezin'
done with the traveling,
time to reorganize his trunk,
done with the hockey bag,
and it really stunk!
Fred re-tapes his stick
at the end of each year,
takes his bag to the cleaner
where they sanitize his gear
goes away on a holiday
stays off ice the whole time
when he gets home he's recharged
thanks to well planned downtime
Big Fred's itching to play
now that he's back
so out comes his hockey bag,
when he gets a whiff of that sack?
"what!, this can't be mine,
it smells really nice!
I'll have to play pick-up
to stink this gear up on ice
He proceeds to the arena
feeling big, ready and tough
walks into the dressing room,
all the players smell rough,
they peek above their hockey skates
at Freddie's rose scented gear
sarcastically they ask him,
"you don't play much 'round here?"
Smart Fred says very little
‘why give them a clue?’
nods in the affirmative,
thinks, "I'll shock all of you"
Shinny starts on time
the Referee drops the puck
Fred wins the first face off
skates like a Mac Truck
speed and agility
like hockey ballet
his opponents stand stunned,
"man, this guy can play!"
Big Fred takes a shot
it goes in the five-hole,
and that was the first of six beautiful goals,
while shaking hands after the game
Big Fred laughed where he stood,
then sarcastically told them,
"you don't have to stink to be good!"

Where Have All
The Leaders Gone?

by Barbara Tremblay Cipak
(Song Lyrics Needing Music)


(VERSE 1)
Beyond the sunset another child smiles
Held in her mother’s arms for a while
Cuddled up with faith her guiding force
She prays to her God for the same things of course;
For leaders to lead us down a path of peace
That her baby will always have enough to eat
That her neighbors get all the help they need
And imprisoned minds will someday be freed

(CHORUS)
We sing for justice in a song
The world in disarray for so long
If right is someone else’s wrong
then who’ll teach us how to get along
With divide and conquer going strong
Where have all the leaders gone?

(VERSE 2)
How many questions did you ask today?
Do you believe what the media has to say?
Did your neighbor lose his job or home?
If the leaders tell him to do it alone…
do you believe he should rebuild on his own?
There’s no money left, sorry it’s gone
Where has all the money flown?

(CHORUS)
We sing for justice in a song
The world in disarray for so long
If right is someone else’s wrong
then who’ll teach us how to get along
With divide and conquer going strong
Where have all the leaders gone?

(VERSE 3)
Does money define the entire earth?
How do we determine what a life is worth
Who makes the call that some live and some die?
A mother asks while she’s doubled over to cry
“Why me, why us, why tell me why!
why did my child have to die!”
This pain is her prison and they still deny
that wars are built on sandstone lies

(BRIDGE TO CHORUS)
Leaders who lead us to live in peace
Who build bridges of hope without shaking their fist
Who understand we must all co-exist
and share the resources of this earth
‘Cause no one owned it at its birth
who owns the moon?
who owns the stars?
is that where all the leaders are?
We sing for justice in a song
With the world in disarray this long
and right is always someone’s wrong
who’ll teach us how to get along
with divide and conquer going strong
Where have all the Leaders Gone?



If I Could Fly Tonight
by Barbara Tremblay Cipak

If I could fly tonight,
To places I've never seen,
My arms with the power to witness first hand
great deeds accomplished by woman and man
or worse know suffering,
What would I choose,
soaring above these incredible views,
peering below
my landing, my voice
where do I go,
what is my choice,
Would I plan to see such glorious sites,
As the Seven Wonders of the World by night,
The Taj Mahal, The Northern Lights,
Angel Falls or World Castles by name,
The great cathedrals from London to Spain,
I could take the train from Koblenz to Koln
See the Ancient Ruins in Rome,
Ride a Gondola in Venice today,
but being away, almost gone astray
I’d miss what is always real
So I wouldn't need to fly this far
since what I seek is where you are
You're the sight I’d choose to see
with you is where I’d want to be
I’d choose you.
The love I know.
hold you close
the tears would flow
we’d share a tea
and our company
we could say a little or a lot
thank you for the lessons taught
memories kept to bring me home
these wings a gift for when I’d flown,
feeling at peace, all would be right,
this is the flight plan I chart tonight



***************************
Soul searching through poetry, is similar to an awakening:
A light comes alive within when you are able to express what you've been trying to speak outloud, but were unable to find the words. Most of the poems written are for both Poetry or Song lyrics, and like others, I have dreams of a great Recording Artist ringing me up to request a musical collaboration with my written words. So this website is dedicated to personal passion; I like to think of this site as inspiring the "law of attraction".


But how can I stop telling you my story here and just start listing an index of my poems. I mean, think about it, a lousy paragraph with a few words is suppose to encourage you to read on. Isn't that ridiculous. So before you decide, if you decide, to read any, here's a bit about who I am.



In some crazy way, I think everyone on this planet knows, really knows each other. Sort of a bold statement considering the negativeness on display day in and day out.  But I do believe it. I believe, that without a doubt, we're all connected...you to me, me to you, one life to another. It's when that connection is broken or threatened that humanity is threatened. I think it's safe to say, that connection is often broken. This piece of my soul on public display is for you, it's my hand reaching out in an effort to complete the circle of connectedness from one human being to another.



What is each of us suppose to complete during our brief stay on this gorgeous planet. Are you being drawn towards something in your life? Maybe you're choosing not to hear it, or maybe you're afraid to take that path, but whatever you're soul is craving, it needs. For me, finally taking this step, however small it is in comparison to "giant leaps made by mankind", is a trip to Mars.



Life is not one emotion, it's a series of emotions. Ever-changing emotions. In talking to you about this right now, I'm "reflective", but truth be told, "humor" sustains me through it all. Love is always here - we get it by giving it. But think about it, "humor" can lift your spirit, a laugh can help you forget pain even if it's for a brief second. But what a second that is. Humor causes the edges of your lips to curl upwards, and when you smile, who have you cheered up, whose day did you just make better. Doesn't that feel good.



So I guess what I'm trying to say is, this may all sound "serious", but as I type, I smile. I smile with you right now, and tomorrow too. Give someone you love a smile, and watch their eyes light up like you just bought them land on the moon. Ask that person to pass a smile to someone else, and lets pay forward smiles and see if we can change this world we live in, one smile at a time. It's so simple, it may just work. Sincerely, Barbara Tremblay Cipak
