Latest book of long poems now available!

"Thank you for picking up this book. I hope you and yours are well. As I write this introduction, the Coronavirus is alive and changing the world we knew. Once again “history” is being made. But I believe history is always being made. Our world is our perception, and as our thoughts vacillate between a darkness and a lightness, or vice versa, “history” is made. We are the creators. We are the historians. We are the ones that speak. Whatever language we may use.I write poetry."

Peace love and light…Jeff Johnston                                                   March 19, 2020

With Joy And Not Fear

8/1/2019

 
What if the world
Turned off the news
Was not influenced
By manipulating views
Listened more closely
To their circle of few
Created community
Where understanding grew

Do we need commercials
To tell us we're wrong
We must buy their product
For us to belong
Newspapers radio
Fox news be damned
What if we experienced
A true natural plan

Billboards and junk mail
Demanding our time
We must pay attention
Or we're out of line
New and improved
Oh what the hell
Must we truly buy
What they have to sell

If we shut off the noise
And no one could hear
Maybe the powers
Would be the ones in fear
No place to spew
Their political scheme
Perhaps in the silence
They could hear their own scream

Listening to nature
Can that be all bad
Does the sound of a robin
Make you feel sad
The wind thru the trees
The rain on a roof
The beauty of snow
Do we need any more proof

Without any violence
Or protests in streets
We simply turn off all
Their negative beats
No bloodshed required
No wars for ideal
Stop reading their papers
Let's live in the real

Our heads in the sand
Not what I do seek
But perhaps with our neighbors
We learn how to speak
Our porch is a campus
For those walking by
Let's stop for a moment
Smile and say hi

How are their kids
Do they have a green thumb
What is their secret
For growing those plums
Can they change a tire
Or cut down a tree
Let's start some dialogue
It's absolutely free

Yes technology has helped
In so many ways
But why not eliminate
The bureaucratic daze
Spin doctors rule
With their ends in mind
Let's shut off the valve
To their only pipeline

Breathe deep and smile
And know in your heart
Eliminating the noise
Is a wonderful start
Today and tomorrow
Next week and next year
Let's celebrate each other
With joy and not fear

Yes You Can Help But Not That Way

2/24/2019

Jeff Johnston has written fourteen books of poetry.  Many of his words have been the therapy which he himself used to calm his mind, body and spirit. Over the last seven years he has been coping with and attempting to alleviate his Clinical Depression, Mood Swings and Anxiety Attacks. During the course of his experience he has come across others, who in describing a situation with a loved one, found they were speaking of Depression.  After hearing many stories of what some people tried to do and not to do, all with love in their minds, he decided to maybe explain it from the patient’s viewpoint.  In his latest book, “Yes You Can Help But Not That Way!” he is sharing his own thoughts on this subject matter, something he has had firsthand experience with.  He hopes it may help you and yours.

Believe it or not on this day at this moment did I for the first time see the dozen or so comments from the last 7 years? Um...sometimes I am uh...whatever.! I couldn't even figure out how to respond to them right now! But I will try again.

The Purple Diamond Queen (Part One 4:01)

4/13/2018

 
So here is Part One of Four of The Purple Diamond Queen. Recorded in my office on April 11, 2018 using my phone. The music IS NOT MINE. It is MASKED BALL from the EYES WIDE SHUT SOUNDTRACK.

The Purple Diamond Queen is my 10th book and it is a poetic story.

"An agreement of long ago, inspired by an act of greed, a recipe for much pleasure in the moment, which then has consequences never before envisioned. Who will pay their dues?"

Available on Amazon and other Book Stores
