Moving Forward, by Kimberly Ray

Treading forward,
 
wind pushing against my back

Finding a grip in the blowing sand
 
Gust ripping and I’m alone again

Ruminating about the sunset
 
What I'll see if I continue moving
 
Head down, pushing against the wind
 
Marching forward, finding where I’ll begin

I will get my way

Taking fate by the hand

I will see my sunset someday

Making my way across this historic land
