MOVING FORWARD

by Daniell Fedrón

Moving Forward is a compilation of poems inspired and based on everyday occurrences and experiences. It is a depiction of advancing from a negative frame of mind into a more positive outlook of life over a prolonged period of time. Learning to breathe the air with ease, watching a bird take flight, contemplating the beauty of a rose and From Time to Time admiring the blue of the sky. Having to fight with the ghosts of the past and living like a chameleon in the streets to survive. These are but a few of the Mental Pictures that could be stored permanently in your mind. Nonetheless, numerous people bypass these highlights day by day, choosing to remain oblivious, forgetful and not even taking the time to thank The Lord for sending those angels from above. Far from conventional poetry or perhaps even farther from love poems, in Moving Forward you will find an assortment of real life situations unfolding, for this book was born out of pain, solitude and the burning desire to walk out of the darkness and into the light.


Excerpts from Moving Forward

Chameleon

Like a chameleon in the forest
Making its way among the leaves
You move today
Like a chameleon in the streets
Turning colors and finding cover
Surviving attacks of all sizes and shapes

Machinations of an enemy
That at times remains unseen
And in time becomes unsafe
You know that it’s there
But don’t know where it’s been
For limitless are the boundaries
And the odds just immense

When you are searching for the truth
or hoping to find the answer
Like a chameleon you will come
And like a chameleon you will go

In the shadows and in the dark
And you know you’ll find it
For it’s there right in your sight
But you must go under the cover
If you are ever going to do it right

Like a chameleon living
And like a chameleon you’re going
Always covering yourself
And always changing your disguise
Taking many for fools
But at the same time, making others wise--

Look For

Like a fish living under water
You have been sunken down
With problems all-around
And you are unable to come up

Surviving is only the first stop
And you got a long way to go
You know it, and still know
That life as we know it is not easy

Trying, trying and trying again
Hardly seems that worthy process
That will help you stay afloat
Try harder they say then you’ll be on top

But then you sit back and relax
You’ve been long sitting on your back
And time is running out
You are sinking fast and your breathing stops

Do it for yourself and don’t be afraid
He’ll come to you if you call his name
To assist you with your problems
Untangle those ropes and help you understand
God Be With You Brother, Halleluyah And Amen
