Best Moving Forward Poems
At times we are on the bottom and other times , the top
No matter what we do, we cannot make time stop
Like this poem with lines that read with a backward flow
I wish sometimes that backwards I could make time go
I know sometimes we stop and think about the good old days
Time keeps moving forward in each evanescent phase
Get busy and enjoy your life, for time does not wait
Things that happen to us – I believe they’re all our fate
No matter what we do, we cannot make time stop
Sometimes we’re on the bottom and other times, the top
Sept 3, 2018 for the "A Reversible Poem" Poetry Contest of Jesse Rowe
Capturing all of life's tender moments
With a beautiful lady who is going to play it smart
A rare jewel with a poetic heart
Who understands love from the very start
Becoming what every man dreams of finding
A woman whose word is binding
Your inner beauty so warm and full of life
What a wonderful wife you will be
For a man like me
The kind of woman who lightens up a room
So lovable always in full bloom
With God we stand ten feet tall
Knowing he is there to catch us when we fall
Willing to share your life with the right man
Who wants to do it hand in hand
Both of us understanding the good lord has brought us
Right where we are standing
Building our way to heavens gate
With you, my life's going to turn out so great
The good lord writing our fate
In our hearts, we have found our soulmate
Life with you is my dream come true
Finding a love as pure as my own
Definitely what you have shown
My ship has come to shore
With a woman I adore
Lifting us up so we might explore
Every bit of life and so much more
Love like ours that has rocked our inner core
Shooting to the heavens where it will truly soar
God lights the way as we come ashore
He hears us when we pray
God is the light, God is the way
That doesn't change from day to day
His love is in our hearts to stay
It's where true love is made
Moving forward never afraid
Always together so well played
Ignorance....
How is it...gifted with
abilities to reason
we can all remain so unaware...
How is it...gifted with
mental ability of logic
yet,what do we really know....
Even with our limited sense
of language and words to communicate
how do you describe in uncertain terms
the unknown...yet,not completely unknown
If your regular 5 senses move beyond the norm
you hear things different
you see things different
you feel things different
again...because of our lack of impression
where do you find the tools neccesary
to convey such an inner feeling...
as you also struggle with heighten perception.....
Entropy......
As we continue forward into the unknown
with our continued lack of knowledge
we inadvertently create wider gaps
furthering ourselves from the truth
energy being spent uselessly
creating further chaos and disorder....
The ancient stone builders left us a clue
in their placement of the cornerstone....
any deviation in angled positioning
would lead to a deformed structure
like the leaning tower of Pisa.....
Consciousness...
The evolution of the mental age
requires such attention,as to rid
ourselves of the ignorant state of mind
which only furthers entropy within the self
but,also within our global community
which,if not mindful...
we continue in a deformed state of being......
HAYA....." to be...or not to be "
is not the question
it's our true quest......
Drained of doing too much of nothing at all
Racking my brain to be unprepared to fall
Into things that make sense to make sense to more
Hardly motivated to find what all this is for
While peace lies in wait for confusion to obstruct sleep
So we are left wide awake by things we do not keep
From exposure of uncertain truth to be told
Bound by a faith in our words to hold.
Through troubles we mend with answers that explain
Enough to grow through and move on from the pain.
It has become too easy not making things hard
For a decision to stay against being a part
I make without knowing or any care to know
Questioned uncertainty that only wants to go.
Even if there is heartache with things found out
Giving birth to answers still wondered about
By doubt or belief in anything but
Everything that strengthens our determined love
I promise to stay true with a vow for all days
To always love you, with your mutual love I will stay.
WHO AM I? YOU MUST SAY A WOMAN WHO HAS BEEN BEATEN DOWN BY LIFE WHO HAS SURVIVED MANY THINGS.
SOME OF THEM YOU WILL NEVER KNOW ABOUT SOME OF THEM YOU MAY HAVE HEARD ABOUT.
WHO DO YOU SAY I AM ? A WOMAN WHO HAS BEEN AROUND THE BLOCK WHO WAS TOO NAIVE TO SEE WHAT WAS IN FRONT OF HER.
A WOMAN WHO IS NOTHING BUT A DESPARATE PITIFUL SOUL WHO HAS NOTHING TO OFFER.
SOMEONE WHO IS IN A SAD STATE WHO YOU LOOK AT WITH PITY.
WHO DO YOU THINK I AM? A LOST SPIRIT WHO IS BROKEN ON THE INSIDE AND CRUMBLING ON THE OUTSIDE.
WHAT IS IT IN ME THAT YOU SEE A THREAT IN YOUR OWN LIFE SOMEONE IS STRIVING FOR BETTER SOMEONE THAT IS IN NO COMPETITION WITH YOU.
OR IS MY DRIVE AND DETERMINATION IS CAUSING YOUR INSECURITY.
IF THAT IS THE CASE MAYBE YOU NEED TO EXAMINE YOUR LIFE AND SEE WHERE THE PROBLEM LIES.
INSTEAD OF LOOKING AT ME WITH DESPISE.
MY GOALS ARE ALREADY IN PLACE.
SO THAT I MAY RUN THIS LONG RACE.
Digging out the past
One man decides to bury the past hoping to save the future But never knew that some had already
sought to dug it out, Trying to give a different view, for he hoped to fit in the new us Got lost
in the panic of old memories, he uttered wroth.
While some dread not to remember the past
Faking their smiles of lost, hoping not to dig out graves For so long they longed to see the dead
buried
Coming out for lost items they found themselves, Counting Sheeps, gaots, and cows, for they sang.
A man came from nowhere into somewhere, So blind to remember the past in his name,
Our own having to doubt even the change fought for Memories are of no use even to this generation
saved,
All it sees is an opportunity it has to embrase it’s foolishness
Counting blessings those that survived the war avoiding death Putting back old photos in place while replace the past,
Future fought for written in words, sorrow, pain and anger For to save that can’t even be expressed in words,
Asking them how it felt is the only prize they got to tell But for known not to be blind of the
fact that they fought,
Fought for nothing, but for which today all share in hope for all generations. By Karen mathe
Always moving forward.
Best to put one foot in front of the other.
Change is inevitable.
Don't stop moving forward.
Even in dark times
Filling your heart with hope helps.
Good intentions aren't enough actions count.
Happy thoughts fill your body with joy.
Into the unknown the brave will go.
Just because your feeling down, you don't fall down, or stay down.
Kindness to self is important.
Listen to your soul singing it is song of Joy.
Many will not see into your heart, yet many will.
Nothing is impossible.
Opt out of failure, keep going.
People can be shallow but also good.
Quit times help to heal
Restless times tell us to be moving.
Sitting in silence helps clear the mind.
Together we thrive by helping each other.
Understanding we are part of a whole.
Veins of the heart beat for each other.
With determination we step forward treading down that slippery slope.
x-ray vision would be great for seeing the truth in other people so we don't judge one another.
You succeed when you jump right in.
Zero tolerance for failure. Strive! Strive! Strive!
Chocolate stains across a clean shirt
Sticky stains smeared on pale arms
Low thoughts and dry tears fit right into this gray hazy sky.
Itching and stinging on legs and arms that no cream has the formula to relieve.
Comforter has a roughness that has no explanation.
Thoughts irregular and edgy looking for a press, deep sigh.
Why oh why have these illusions come to haunt me again.
Grumbling and aching are a constant companion.
Unorderly placements of things and verse with no comply.
Deep sigh, again? Not again! Let it go, keep moving
Forward ho.....mush you jello! Bicep reach and contract.
Limber junctions lubricate and roll....Worm not today, Blow fly!
Moving Forward
People are judged by their past,
No matter how clean they may be now.
People toss out the new you,
And focus on the old now.
Like back in '06
When you were a drug addict.
You went to rehab '06,
And have been sober ever since.
It's a new day,
the old has passed away.
Falling off like loose chains
Now's my chance to get away.
The old has passed away
And new adventures
are headed my way.
Coming around the corner
You can catch it on the speedway.
No longer dwell on your past,
Instead move forward
And stay on track.
Fear will no longer hold you back.
Keep moving forward,
Life is like a roller coaster;
And you don't know
when it's going to stop.
But when it stops
Your time is up.
Lasting memories linger lightly,
Swarming in a sensitive soul;
Weaving waves of wishes,
Taking a terrible toll.
Nasty nightly nervousness,
Results in ranting rhymes;
Harvesting of high hopes,
And savoring sensual signs.
Conspiring cosmic circles,
Whisper winter warnings.
Briefly believing blasphemy,
Fights feelings forming.
Insecurity injects inspiration,
Rotting the ropes of revelation,
Killing the chance of consolation,
Providing the pride in proclamation.
Empty enriched envy.
Loose longing lust.
Love lasts a lifetime.
Try total trust.
Men today starts a new beginning to the rest of our lives
first thing we need to do is give all thanks to Christ
then start showing and paying more attention to our wives
for lord knows our past have not always been so nice
we need to relax and enjoy the time we have left
Start living for our family and ourself
Stop worrying and wasting time with everyone else
and lord know we can do it with his help
we can’t say that we have live without regrets
Trust me our lives has been really complex
And there have been times when we did not know what to expect
but god’s help we can prepared to take on whatever is next
we know that life is not going to play fair
But this is not a promise ! this we should swear
We’re going to take on this game and become a major player
And it starts by taking everything to the lord in prayer
For once in our life we will take a stand
And stop dreaming about it and execute our plan
Cause lord knows we have the potential to be a better man
So be prepared to start anew
Put the past behind us so my dreams can come true
For there is so much more we need to pursue
it’s going be rough but the lord will see us through
Living in the city gave me a hair line fracture
only discovered
upon my move to Gibsons
where time stands still amongst the lapping waves
and long grey cranes that waggle their heads in search of fish-
there is much freedom here I think
while walking down our one Main Street
No don't hunger for the city-
it's endless malls and congested traffic
that smacks of arteriosclerosis of the veins
I celebrate my decision to relocate thereby having time
and opportunity to explore retirement that
motivates me to kick start my creativity-
I count my blessings everyday.
Something has swept our summer, your face,
Along, away.
Constantly morphing, they cannot be fixed
In memory’s embrace.
There are too many yous,
Too many emotions:
Silly looks, laughter, rebukes, laughter.
Laughter sweeps them all along, away.
Your laugh, the one constant,
A great gasping gust of breath
Chopped into sound bytes,
Sweeps it all along, away.
Think I almost have you,
Puzzle unraveled, repaired.
Then you laugh a cavernous smile;
My hope swept along, away.
You have too many taste buds.
Love and life are dancing on your tongue,
Sweeping you along, away,
Closer to God.
Our lives ought to be in motion
Not fraught with much commotion
Moving forward,
After all the tears,
After being away from you,
Not hearing from you,
Just wondering how you're getting on;
It's never easy,
To forget someone you loved.
It's always hard,
To keep going on,
Because you wanted them to be happy.
You were happy as long as they were.
But now things are different.
Now, you have to forget,
Now, you have to push aside your sadness,
Your hate and resentment for them,
And move forward.
Find another fish in the sea,
And let him treat you with all the love,
And the warmth and happiness you deserve.
Don't let the past haunt you,
Moving forward is the best medicine,
After a long relationship,
You have to go on,
Keep moving forward...
