When The Heart Speaks... Get Moving!

When The Heart Speaks... Get Moving!

an original inspirational poem
by Nathanial Foreman


Is it really possible to be jealous of yourself?

Jealously comes from what you don't have so what happens when you don’t have yourself?

You don’t have you

Your not jealous of now because you have now But maybe your jealous of yesterday

Or better still, jealous of tomorrow

A valley that use to be a mountain and on its way to a sky scrapper

Sacrificing the greatness already obtained in hopes to build something greater

Patiently enduring the pain of a glorious memory

Fearful of the humiliation of having had and had not taken but had given away the rare spoils of life enjoyed by too few and desired by all.

Given away not in the spirit of waste but with the pure intent to invest in a wider horizon

A deep heartfelt passion that lay dormant in the mind, only stimulated in the realm of dreams and fantasy yet corrected diligently by reason to become an actual possible reality

How can you trust the idea of resetting what has gotten you to this point when it is at this point the knowledge came?

Isn't it merely resentment?

An acknowledgment that you made the wrong choices in life?

Shoulda coulda woulda?

Or is there a deeper definition, more real, a true calling

Everything up this point proves the majority of your talent is dormant because while you have proven you are talented, your talent is squandered

Distracted

Abused

Imagine the possibilities that derive from development

You've collected enough evidence to prove that it is possible

Could it really be that the only way there is to start over?

All this time put towards what it is and no one will argue that it is an achievement but could it be that the purpose of the journey behind you was to serve as your education for the real test?

Is that not why parents guide their children because they are familiar with the path and the basic responsibility demands that they make it easier for the child than they had it?

No matter where you stand, what you achieved, or what you own, never forget

The human heart craves more

It deserves more

Somehow you've grown accustom to the rhythm of life, timing it at the pace of your beating heart

At some point your heart starts talking to you

Hey, I keep you alive I work myself to death... Literally I don't stop until you die Even while you sleep I keep moving I've never stopped What have you done with this gift? You are way behind me and you may never catch up but it's never too late to get moving

Cause and effect are now a cycle as one effect becomes the cause of another

Connecting the dots no longer creates a complete picture

In time the dots you started with begin to fade, breaking the pattern of what was once so clear

What now?

How do strengthen something that was designed to fail?

You didn't know it then but it is crystal clear now

You were doing what seemed right in the present yet if more attention were paid to the forecast, the correct choices become clearer

The theory never fails, yet failure seems popular and forgivable as we ignore the obvious

What is true today feels great but what feels true in the future is divine and absolutely worth every single bit of scrutiny you get today and along the way

Those who quote 'what goes up must come down' miss out on the most beautiful part of the process

After a roller coaster descends from a steady climb, it goes forward with tremendous speed, looping, spinning and dazzling better than it ever could climbing steadily

The roller coaster track is much like the time line of your life except the start and end never meet

Regardless of your altitude or your speed, rest assured it will change

Shame on those who get depressed when the roller coaster is soaring down and fear shakes all through you

Don't you know the loop is coming?

Don't you know you will climb again?

Still, you're jealous, because you remember the air feels so much better up there

You used to be there and now that your view is beneath it

But wait, now that you are looking up at where you were, don’t you have a perfect view of the uncharted heavens above it?

Wow!

How does it feel up there?

Even further up

How do I get there?

A steady climb works well but that isn't my life

No, the reality is I will turn

I will spin

I will shake

I will brake

I will rise

I will fall

You what?

All the while your heart reminds you

I’m still working harder you!

You hear me thumping around when things get crazy?

That’s my job

Convert that fear, that doubt and that uncertainty all into their respective opposites and get moving!

I’m here for you I’ve always been here

I beat harder when its hectic and little softer when its calm but never off alert

I’ve got your back

Damn it, I’ve got your whole damn body in my grasp and I’ve kept you up this far

We are not stopping

I am your motor

I am your motive

I am your motion

I am you emotion

I am your joy

I am your tears

I am your cry

I am your health

I am your wealth

I am your power

I am your passion

I am your pleasure

I am your pain

I am your peace

I am your family

I am your father

I am your mother

I am your breath

I am your blink

I am your life…



GET MOVING!!!
