Edge of time

Follow your dreams to the edge of time

Never looking back

Yet remember

Where you have been

Who you once were

Follow the path of lessons

 

Drink from the river of tears

Ever flowing

Tears of change

Taste the bitterness it gives

The bitterness of pride

Found in the tears

 

Remember who you are

Walk straight the path

Worn deep in the ground

From the dragging of feet

Of hesitation still fresh

And stones of fear

 

The path becomes smaller

As understanding trends light

The faster you move

Less is left behind

Understand who you are

Who you were is no more

 

Creating your own way now

Never looking back

Remember where you’ve been

Who you once were

Who you have become

Follow your dreams to the edge of time

Never looking back
Yet remember
Where you have been

From the dragging of feet
Of hesitation still fresh

The faster you move
Less is left behind

Love this piece! Some lines worth pondering upon even after one has finished reading! I read this twice, this one pulls me deeper and deeper each time!

Good work. Bravo :)

there is in our saying that: "ang hindi marunong lumingon sa pinanggalingan ay hindi makakarating sa paroroonan"
In english: He, who doesn't know how to look back where he came from, will never reach his destiny. ..
It speak so much of it..Great write.

HI Kimberly, Such a well laid out and motivational piece. We all get stuck at times and don't take the risks we should to make things happen for ourselves.

Such a fantastic lesson in this poem, here we are, and we should be comfortable in our skin, pay homage to the past that has molded you into who you are today. Every moment in time shaping us into who we are. You said it so beautifully. I really enjoyed this and felt it spoke directly to my core.

I felt me on the river, drinking some of my own tears, falling down, after reading this... you touched me with this write so deeply. (you always do) I like it it is filled with passion, life, and emotion, your words dance for me now, as the thunders do, in the sky at the moment in the Netherlands, it gave me a magical healing strength, thank you. xx

Your always so intouch of the true meaning behind my writings! I do not write to entertain but to speak to the soul words or phrases that may awaken our own purity of who we are ment to be.

Overall, a very good poem. I like all the stanzas except for the one that starts, "Drink from the river of tears..." I stumbled over the disconnect regarding the taste of tears. They are salty, not bitter. (Yes, I know it's the pride that is related to bitter, metaphorically speaking but somehow it's blurred.) It's a trifle, I know but perhaps that could be reworked somehow so that the words preserved the integrity of both the intended meaning as well as the reality of the attributes. At any rate, a worthy write. Thanks for sharing, Kimberly! :o)

I love the nature-y feel to all of your poems, it makes me feel one with myself and one with the earth, you know? Awesome write, as usual. :)
