Forward Motion Poems | Examples

Premium Member Football Season

Forward motion is caught by the ref,
obviously not following the maestro.
On the line of scrimmage ready to go,
too quick with that jump from their spot.
Barrels of ambition elbows will rub,
a return for a touchdown fill my quota! 
Lighting up a Jumbotron with control,
like a boss threw a perfect spiral ball. 

Sitting on my hands in the nosebleeds
entranced by every move they make.
All I want is a touchdown extravaganza,
so don’t get sloppy. No interceptions.
On the road or with an at home scenario?
Never doubt the power of the 12th man.

Premium Member Crypto FOMO

He was thrilled to shill his best bet token
AM green candles he had awoken 
So I FOMO’d in chasing candles green
Surely to see more money than I’d seen

But alas, the baned black swan, it appeared
Way worse than any flash crash I had feared
Fearing my FOMO turned flat into FUD
Fainting to facedown in red-tainted mud

He made his move, got out, and I got burned
That frenzied fickle market, it had turned
Quick to find, then lose, that forward motion
Quick to quit, then wrestle with emotion

Craving fast quick cash that we can’t refuse
Never buy more than you’re willing to lose

Justice

Calm down oh beautiful one
Enlightened was the course of  the dawn of the Sun
How come it was important to know 
Who’s you are and what type in flow you are in
A legacy was all apart of this win
Abandoned your thought was the test at hand
Isolated from the past and the quickening of the sand
Sinking away all familiar thoughts 
A brand new energy of  giving thee a brand new canvas to win this bought
This bought you shall fight no more
Ancient reflections reveling your course
Now it has been won to bring back thy title
A seat well rested a royal shower
Built for a queen and a king to him or thy rank
Nothing or no one can cause thee to sink
Congratulations it had been so long
The orchestrator was waiting ready to release a brand new song
Beautiful amazing releasing a to thee
This is were you reign a final defeat
Protected revealed for thy forward motion
Riding the truth and sailing the ocean 
To bring thee to thy designated place
Winning this battle has changed thy taste
Abundance  prosperity and success 
Out of a comma that blocked your royalty and mess
What test not remembering a thing
Just as a Super Bowl was won
Here is your ring!

The Present

Shine bright through dark nights in the presence
of those that smite flames
The eternal flame won't perish for it's your essence
that endures dark games
Keep moving despite change as it is a constant in
this life
Forward motion is inevitable with adjusted views 
despite the appearance much strife
Touch the flame to feel the burn so that you remember
what that's like
Some will burn bridges to block paths & then make
excuses for their spite
It's not right but it's a part of life as we're schooled
by lessons we must learn
When temperatures raise, we all sweat but this is a 
degree we all must earn
Burn bright like a shooting star for life comes & goes 
in one flash
Hard times come but they will go as those are never
meant to last
Take snap shots & enjoy the pictures for life is truly
a great gift
Be present for your movie to play your role & remember
your lines in life's script

Premium Member Circles

The earth moves in circles,

satellite of a physical center -- 

the dizzy nature of paths,
every forward motion a turn,
better soon to revisit worse
were there no change in the
first jagged passing

good need to be proactive – 
while evil need only patience
as tracks become trenches
when a wheel not rightly resolved….

Fear Not My Child He Is the God of Forward Motion

The Gospel is the only gun 
Which can bring a dead situation back to life
He is the God of tomorrow 
And He will reach His aim
He will write a new chapter in your biography 
Because He is the God of forward motion

Stand up and believe
Receive the Amazing Grace that was given to you
Before the foundations of the world and know that
The door to tomorrow is unlocked from the inside
He is the God of the forward motion

The God of the Impossible is ready
Your faith in Him is steady
Dreaming beyond the call of duty is essential to your legacy
He is the God of the forward motion

The Bible will help you believe in the Impossible 
Because the God of the Impossible is the God of the Future
Stand up and believe in the power of Jesus’ Blood
He is the God of the forward motion

Within the Realm

The realm of spirit has many rooms that open doors
to our perception
The key to life lies in your ability to open up to forms
of self-reflection
Our living lessons are meant to teach so please tap
into your emotions
Life is poetry built upon the word so keep constructing
forward motion
Some still believe the backward notion that life only
exists in this dimension
I'd rather beg for forgiveness for forward thinking than
be left behind without permission
New thought initiates life extension as we travel the 
road of evolution 
Go deeper into yourself when you encounter problems
for it's there you find the best solutions

In the Muck

When indecision drops on by,
No matter how I want to try
To move ahead, I find that I
Am absolutely stuck.

Though getting out is my desire,
Circumstances will conspire,
Trapping me within the mire,
To wallow in the muck.

Plans and changes don’t get made;
Forward motion is delayed,
All because I’m too afraid
And lack the needed pluck.

Better, then, to just remain
With things in place and thus refrain
From choices that will make it plain
Why critics choose to cluck.

Premium Member The Lure of Sailing

Out at sea, serene and soothing,
on a sheet of lapis lazuli,
a graceful forward motion,
kissing the coast line,
sailing at high speed,
skimming over the salty waters,
the breeze caressing my face,
filling the taut sails with power.

A short distance away
sunlit vistas, rugged rocks,
and white washed villas.
Afar a dolphin jumps out of the water,
above gracious gulls glide
foraging for food, the tasty sardines,
turtles paddle close, a rare sight.
I veer to evade a close companion,
a masterly maneuver,
a sense of elation,
beauty, peace and joy.
Let me live here forever
or at least until summer lasts.

He Is the God of Forward Motion

He is the God of tomorrow 
And He will reach His Objective
He will write a new chapter in your biography 
Because He is the God of forward motion

Stand up and believe
Receive the Amazing Grace that was given to you
Before the foundations of the world and know that
The door to tomorrow is unlocked from the inside
He is the God of the forward motion

The God of the Impossible is ready
Your faith in Him is steady
Dreaming beyond the call of duty is essential to your legacy
He is the God of the forward motion

The Bible will help you believe in the Impossible 
Because the God of the Impossible is the God of the Future
Stand up and believe in the power of Jesus’ Blood
He is the God of the forward motion

What's Unseen

Sometimes when we speak the truth
we tell the biggest lie
Intention stealing from the facts
 meaning ill contrived

The pole is North though pointing South
when asked which way to go
when in the Northern Hemisphere
a liars truth misnome 

Up is down when on your head
gravity be damned
motion forward, motion back
‘Silence Of The Lambs’

Sometimes when we speak the truth
we pander to mislead
as 2+2 is 8 in half
what’s missing—what’s unseen

Premium Member My Journey Doesn'T End

"My existence journey doesn't end;
               it's just a beginning to mend."
Quote_by Poet



Timeless conventional journey,
Through a window that returns me;
While a curtain of dreams is drawn. 
As blessed daylight comes in a yawn, 

Forward motion of flourish love, 
As favorable seasons shove
Yesterday back, while resolving 
My life, a means of evolving.

Forward Motion

The waves drive the boat ashore, 
The footprints appear.

Hometown Visit

My last visit home was sad, but true
All weekend I waited, just to see you
But the expectations I held, were much too high
Lowest place on the totem pole, there was I 

When finally, we met after a lot of time wasted
It felt like my presence was nothing but hasted
My words, though genuine, read much like a song
Of love, loss, sorrow, and timing gone wrong

Your response to my letter, still I await
Forward motion requires a slow, but steady pace
The absence of you in my day, at times it's still hard
It's easier for you, but you had a head start

Luckily, this visit home was different in nature
A reason to celebrate, made time pass much easier
Still, reminders were there, and felt in my midst
Sending a text to say hello, was hard to resist 

So as this week passes, and a new one begins
Seven more days to wonder if or where, I fit in
But the longer I wait, the more healing I do
What matters most in the end, is I get over you
