A poem that I hope will inspire people to rise above their problems, their pasts and their perceptions and have hope.

Seeing Beyond...

 

Cant you see beyond the here and now?
Why are you still living in the past?
The present may seem dark and desperate
But don't you know that it won't last?

 

Each day may be a struggle
Filled with uncertainty and fear
The road seems filled with potholes
The ship so hard to steer

 

But why do you grasp at nothing
And hold on with all your might?
Why do you ignore the blessings
And focus instead upon the plight?

 

Each day begins with dawn
And after dusk begins the night
The seasons keep on changing
Behind the clouds the sun shines bright

 

Memories may plague us
Yes, it's not easy to forget
But if we choose to dwell in darkness
We will live with nothing but regret


~Chanti~

Chanti, thank you for this wonderful poem! Yes, we must tread sofly and walk carefully among our memories of the past, dreams of lost yesterdays, floods of happiness and pain can drag us down and drown us. Your words incites one to wake up and conclude that in the past a person cannot survive...

peace and love to you,
Anthony

A tremendously moving and inspirational piece,
Chanti! So refreshing...after all the dismal lines
penned here in The Den...for far too long.
We all know there is pain in the world, and if we
have a heart within us, we want it to come to an
end soon. Your poem gives hope in that direction.
Blessings to you!
