POSITIVE SIGN
I KNEW THE TIME HAD COME
TO PUT ASIDE MY TEARS
I HAD TO SEE THE DAY AHEAD
WITHOUT ANY OLD FEARS
I HEARD MY HEART BEATING
LOUDER THAN IT SHOULD
MADE ME FEEL WEAKER
KNOWING THAT I COULD
ALL THE WHILE HOPING
FOR A POSITIVE SIGN
EASIER DAYS AHEAD
WOULD SOON BE MINE
DREAMING OF DAYS PAST
WOULD GET ME THROUGH
THE WARMTH OF LAUGHTER
HAPPIER TIMES I KNEW
LOOKING TO THE FUTURE
I KNOW WHO I WANT TO BE
PUTTING THE PAST BEHIND
A SUNNY PATH TO SEE
Hi Kristine-
ReplyDeleteI liked your poem. In simply expressed words, you've expressed what we need to do in order to move forward; allowing the past to fade, remembering the lessons we've accumulated over a lifetime.
Letting go of the past is not always so easy.
Looking to the future, I'm pretty sure I know where I want to go.
The trick is what path will get me there, as I oftentimes have a terrible sense of direction !

Hi Elizabeth ~ Always so great to hear from you ~ Moving forward is so important ~ The past always seems to creep in a little ~ Learning to stop this from happening. The future is bright!
ReplyDeleteKristine I always enjoy your poems, so warm and intimate, yet always speak of something we all can relate to. (I have a problem expressing my feelings in English, it's different than speaking about "ordinary" things, sorry.) I love this one! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Sonja - This is brand new - I just finished it last week - Glad you enjoyed it - Sometimes the past creeps in, but we need to continue to move forward ... So glad you are home ... You were missed :)
