Inspirational Poetry: Poem about Being Optimistic and Looking to the Future
Every Day is a New Day
Every day is a new day,
A chance to see my dreams
In a passionate light,
Just like the first time.
Every day is a new day,
A chance to view the world
Through newly opened eyes
And see all that
I was blind to before.
The snow falls
And covers dark moments
With its bright white,
Like a light of hope,
Blanketing out the footsteps
Of the past, if only
For a moment.
Still, a moment is enough
For new thoughts to
Take root,
To be carried through
Into another day
Like a bloom
Of inspiration.
Every day is a new day,
A chance to play a song
With an upbeat rhythm
And forget the slows of yesterday,
To find a groove; a wider smile,
To dance with new moves
And discover an abandon
That was never there before.
Every day is a chance to
Be alive again,
To embrace the music of today
And tomorrow
With excitement and wonder
And an open heart -
The strings of
Optimism and truth
Every day is a new day,
A chance to bury habits
In a box,
Or better still
Throw them to the sea
And watch them float away,
While new ways ebb
At my feet
Like waves of change
And promise.
Waves are as transient
As tears,
Forever moving
Like every moment of life -
Gone, as soon as it appears,
Kept alive
Only in memory
Every day is a new day -
Whatever has gone before
Must stay behind.
Not everything belongs
In the future.
The melancholy moon
Disappears with the sunrise -
A symbol of
New beginnings.
We should start everyday
That way,
Shedding the old and outgrown,
Unwanted skin, worn out.
The heavy burden
Of my own mind
Pulls me down
Like a chain -
Without its weight
I am free to soar,
To go anywhere,
Do anything,
Be anybody I choose.
It is only I who
Puts on the brakes
Too easily.
Don't brake on the bends
In the rain,
It is better to
Accelerate
So as not to slide
Right off the track.
I must grip the road
And keep driving forwards
With my eyes ahead.
No need for reverse,
It will only lead me
To places I have already been.
The world is a wondrous place
With so many hidden avenues
Not yet explored.
I am ready to put my foot down,
To feel the wind
Against my face,
I am ready for a new day.
