Times are sad
But dont dwell on on the bad
Stay calm and do your part
Keep hope alive in your heart
Don’t let fear creep in
Stay positive to win
Soon too, this will pass
Vanish as vaporous gas
We must stand strong en masse
Choka
Tag: keep moving forward
Hands of Time
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
Keep Moving Forward
Wind blowing,
All Rivers flowing
To the sea.
Always free,
Clouds moving, it’s behooving,
You should too. Is true?

This week’s Haiku prompt reminded me of my visit to the Oregon Trail Interpretive Center in Baker City, Oregon back in 2006 when I was traveling via the now, new, Oregon Trail route to reach my destination of Oregon. I am so glad I took the time out to stop at the Center. It was truly a wonderful time of stepping back into History as I viewed the wonderful interactive displays they have and actually got to walk down some of the original wagon ruts left from the pioneer wagon trains of long ago. What an experience that was! I was so fortunate to be able to capture a photo!
Thus, the inspiration for my Haiku this week. I feel the Pioneer spirit of forward movement should always be in our bones, for the Pioneers sacrificed so much for what we now enjoy today!
