Best Forward Moving Poems

Forward moving train;
Mystical cacophony;
Draws me backwards.
Riding time-tracks, I can see
History reverse itself.

Always in such a hurry
Pressing forward, moving on
Reaching for that which you think you are due
Every moment of the day spent in pursuit
Climbing that invisible ladder
Instead of taking time to look around
Overreaching, over expecting, demanding
Unrealistic measures of success
Simply noticing the beauty
God has placed along your...

ADAPTABILITY:  God seemed to have programmed life, in general, to be indiscriminate, allowing all of its good, bad, and ugly to rain upon His creation. God is an equal opportunity employer. Some entities receive 'favor' without regard to merit. Victory is more thrilling when...

Within our very inner self
us poets move into our gear
there is the releasing of the clutch
forward moving as we steer

We run smoothly when in top gear
different from reverse the other way
what's the vital ingredient inside?
one that drives you every day

The love of words encaptures you
wanting...

I’m older
Traveled well
Slowing some
I can tell

Appreciate
Compromise
Laughing more
Increased in size

Youthful pose
Playful style
Aching bones
Longer mile

Smart enough
Not to know a lot
Secure enough
With what I got

Chances are
It’s been spent
I’m older now
That’s where it went

Forward moving
Yesterdays done
Time for life
To bear me a son

Flowers rest
Where beauty glows
Upon your face
And soft eyes

I’m...

Green in color; at home in the meadow.
                The perennially forward-moving
            Grasshopper finally rests motionless,

Lilies bloom as they basque in the glorious sunlight,
The light of day shall dawn in my eyes.
Showers of rain all fall with a common destination,
Bound are the tears as the pain cries.
Warm days and sunny tomorrows,
May come as sorrows beseech me.
But is spring over,
Cast of...

Time is money, friend,
Get hold of your time,
Embrace it like a friend
And never let go of it.



Time is not sufficiently given,
Keep track of your time,
Marry your time like a wife;
There is no extra time to life!


Life is not a game of second chance, 
Time is...

Once Forever



               Driving, still framed captured, moving past hills of green

Sitting astride a frozen mountainside,
eighty others waiting their turn to go,
on the slope blue and red gates a path scribe,
a man says, “racer ready;” so they know.
An hour passed, now it’s my turn to ski,
explode out of the gate with a kick-start,
frozen ruts are what...

Watch as your children grow, as your
garden grows, as the seasons change.
Watch as you learn, as you begin
to understand and can see.
Listen to the world talking, not the
grinding, metallic modern noise.
Listen to the birds, the trees, the
animals as they teach you to see.
Think about the...

Seventy-eight
A number, a heartbeat, a nation's pulse
Freedom's rhythm, syncopated with time

Tricolour dreams billowing in the wind
Saffron courage, white truth, green hope
Ashoka's wheel-spinning tales of unity in diversity

From Kashmir's peaks to Kanyakumari's shores
Independence echoes
In the clamour of cities
In the quiet of villages
In the laughter of children...

Never look back
Face forward, moving ahead.
Regret is poison to success.
Never look back....

  “Sweet is my sleep, but more to be mere stone,
so long as ruin and dishonour reign ;
to bear nought, to feel nought, is my great gain ;
then wake me not, speak in an undertone !”
