Moving Forward Poems - Poems about Moving Forward

"Fierce Review" Hindsight reviews tells me so much of what I want to keep, change, or completely drop. My fierce review of my marriage and how my best fell short giving Doug what he earned and deserved… A review only as a widow, not as a divorcee, or in the middle of a dying marriage. This was...

Sun ray sneaking up through the leaves, Paving the way towards me hiding a story up in the sleeves. A freshly brewed coffee in an undiscovered café, While a heartfelt letter to a disputed man living the cliché. A secluded place surrounded by every lover's dismay, Completed by their unconditional love in display. The sweet dreams are strangling my present days, While...

MOVING FORWARD REHAB Record 2025/01/25 09:57:23.webm Moving forward, my time at rehab. One door and corner at a time. On time here at the door. There, at the table. Eat or play. Group it. Bracelets hold us together and drag us to the schedule. In and out. The nurse is so nice. Pill. Cups lined up just for me. Smoke them if you've got...

Author Dana Redricks January 14, 2025 I must keep moving forward and never look back, for if I do, I'll get off track. I must leave my past, to reach the future's light, and live in the moment, with all my might. Life is an everyday journey, in which there is something to learn, yes, we...

Knelt down by the graves Of every self I've laid to rest Listening as their ghosts whisper by name I hear myself in all of them, to this I can attest; I am no different but I am no longer the same Made an off offering of rosemary, a promise...

I don't know why we do this... As another year waves bye-bye, We reflect on what it's brought us Of some things we question, "Why?" We've faced the unexpected As it's hit us in the chin. We've found strength, we've mustered courage, Learned to bear things with a grin. Deep down we know we're hurting But it all seems like a blur. While looking for...

When you left, you took the warmth of the fire with you that I can’t deny. But my heart still beats, and like an Aloe tree, I didn’t wither, nor did I die. On reflection, it seemed you didn’t care enough, as you never did look back. I was devastated, and both my days and nights were either...

Keep moving forward, do not look back New freedom in the air, no more lack He is the great I AM, who aligns The sun, moon, and stars, all in perfect lines He will align our lives too, just trust According to His plans, which is best for us Don't fret, for He will restore our inner joy The trees will clap...

Today I plan to pray/meditate The space exists for both Is 'to contemplate' a sensible path for an over thinker? Should I blow candles out, find a dandelion clock, watch the skies for a shooting star and wish for peace from over thinking? I'm not sure I'm thinking at all - it's half thoughts, suggestions that I should be...

Set me free.... Set my soul free so I can leave. I want to love and I want to laugh. I want to dance, barefoot down the winding path. I want to sleep under the darkest skies with the brightest stars. I was to sing in fast cars. I want to fix myself so I'll...

Bacon and sausage. Dogs and music. Whiskey and a wife's smile. Sometimes, surely, it is just that simple. Lately it has not been. Not in life, not in fiction, not in poetry. One year, maybe three poems. All about grief. One imagined, yet real - a son's song for a father's tale. Two, too true and too close - a brother to the scion, a brother to the...

School and work resumed today, The holidays complete, So now we’re moving forward, Hoping slips we won’t repeat. Of course, there will be blunders And perhaps a huge snafu, But the ways we botch and bungle Should at least be fresh and new. If we’re fortunate, then maybe We can laugh at our mistakes And accept that there are times when We just can’t catch any...
