Stepping
Forward covered,
Wearing the shield of faith.
Walking towards eternity,
In Him.

When weariness comes
Keep Going
Flowing like a river
Syllable Lune
I was a bit weary today. One of those days when doubts step in and began dragging you down and you just feel defeated, like you can’t go on, but then…I saw this sign on a shelf in a thrift store, it said: “Keep Going” and I felt it was meant for me, so I perked myself up and kept going, and guess what?
I had a great day! 😊
Think positive thoughts
Keep Going
Weariness will leave
Syllable Lune
Consider…
You can’t go back
And erase the past
You can go forward to create a
future

Next month I have chosen to do a challenge called “Dressember.”
For this challenge I have committed to wear a dress everyday for the month of December in order to raise awareness (and funds) in the campaign against human trafficking and modern slavery.
So some of my poetry next month may reflect on this as I journey thru each day of the challenge.
I will be making daily posts on my personal blog about my journey regarding this challenge as well as posting pics and info about Dressember and the fight against human trafficking and abuse.
If any of you would like to follow me on this journey I invite you to subscribe to my other blog at: Blog | Leona J. Atkinson | Inspirational Writer/Artist
Upon my window
The winds of time beat softly
Autumn leaves swirl
Things are changing again
Life keeps moving forward
Tanka
Floating
But going nowhere
On my river of dreams
It’s only by paddling I move
Forward
Cinquain
Reaching for the stars
Running towards New Year dreams
Jumping over fears.
Senryu
Hands on the clock move
Sometimes very slowly
Sometimes fast
Yet they always are in motion
Like a river flows
Continously going forward
Trying to reach their goal
Overcoming obstacles
I want to be like them
Choka
I go
Dreaming
Seeking
Future
Visions
My feet
Stepping
Upon
My fears
Syllabic Verse
An hour flew away
Walking with time last night.
As we sprung forward,
Sixty minutes vanished,
Erased by daylight’s hand.
Tanka
(Daylight Savings Time begins today)
In the cycle of life,
The swing could represent our thoughts.
Forward and backward.
