Forward Focus

DestinysPerspectives

As I near the top of the mountain I stand tall in stature. 

My focus remains straight forward taking in the sights around me. 

The birds sing the sacred song to my heart as I keep moving forward. 

Butterflies grace me with their magnificence guiding me forward. 

The sunshine scares the shadows away as I keep walking straight forward. 

I walk with my arms straight out embracing the magic inside of me. 

I feel the shifts inside of me as I progress higher on the mountain. 

I don’t look down, I don’t look backward, and I don’t look up. 

I don’t focus on the people ahead of me who are rushing to the top. 

I just focus on the sounds of nature all around me. 

I just focus on the breathing sounds matching the beats of my heart. 

I just focus on the sounds that my footsteps are making with each step forward.

    'I don’t look down, I don’t look backward, and I don’t look up.
    I don’t focus on the people ahead of me who are rushing to the top.
    I just focus on the sounds of nature all around me.
    I just focus on the breathing sounds matching the beats of my heart.'
    (for me the title of this write
    will always be:
    'When you boldly, own
    whatever Faith, system
    you Choose
    to empower, that meaningful
    worth
    in, your life!')
    such a great message!
    thanks for sharing

      Thank for such a kind comment! It means a lot when someone truly takes the time to understand the message behind the poem. I really put all of my inner wisdom in the poems I write in hopes that it teaches others a different light of seeing things. I am a very spiritual person rather then religious and a lot of times it comes out in what I write. I try not to sound too preachy but at the end of the day people will always take what they want from anything you create.
