Not Really Sure When Soon Is

by Michael Charles Messineo — Read all 96 poems by Michael Charles Messineo

There are times when things just don’t go the way you thought they would. You realize that there needs to be changes and you state they will happen soon. The problem for some is that they just don’t know when soon is.

Poem Artwork

I know I promised many things.

Some pulled on personal heart strings.

I flew to you my doubts with wings,

‘cause I’m not sure when soon is.

 

I asked you for your plan today.

Our agenda was to think and play.

I promised changes but did not say,

‘cause I’m not sure when soon is.

 

Now I’m having second thoughts,

not sure of how much time I bought.

Our time together is what I sought,

and I’m not sure when soon is.

 

I thought my words would say I’m wrong.

This poem, my way to sing that song.

To get back on track will be soon not long,

but I’m not sure when soon is.

All I can say is......I hope you write another book and poem SOON! :)

You knew I would be silly!

Actually, our self doubts are the interesting binds that tie us to fluid words like "soon".

Perhaps in writing this, you found your soon. I hope so.

Peace,

Rose

so very true--i attempted to describe to my young grandchild what soon meant and decided on a different adverb!

Funny the words we use without really thinking of their meaning. Soon is one of them. Of course I hope it will be sooner than later that you resolve this, but when is soon?;-) You really gave us food for thought Michael!
