Life Tracks
A Poem by Kimberly "Melody" Carney
The train turned from familiar ground
The destination on the map is not found
Are you lost or still on the right train
When it stops is there poverty or fame
Unknown certainty grips your heart
Life is a series
This is only a part
So relax
Enjoy the changing view
To succeed you must try the new
Knowledge comes from learning
Learning comes with experience
Experience comes with adventure
Let the train run free and wild
Success comes not with money
Nor happiness with fame
But, making love naked in the rain
Dancing in the streets without shame
This is success true success
For they are memories only an
Adventurer
Chasing their dreams can claim

The best advice I can give to my readers is the same advice I give to my teens. Relax! Enjoy life, make mistakes, learn from them and stop dreaming long enough to give you dreams life. Put yourself out there just two feet past your comfort zone…close your eyes and free fall….that’s when you know your living!

Your poem expresses a happy, positive attitude toward life, which is certainly different than what many other poems express in their dark, negative lines. While it's good to occasionally take chances and reach out for experiences, knowledge and wisdom should be applied first to avoid disastrous problems. The road to success starts with dreams, then plans, followed by actions. And, of course, people have different definitions of success. Ok, I'm getting off the soap box. Your poem displays pleasant images born from a positive attitude, something we can all use.

To really truly believe in your dreams and make them come true… you must not first believe in yourself, but be prepared to prove your doubts and fears wrong.
To know giving up is not an easy .. more..
