Fixing What is Possible

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

Sometimes starting over is the best path. Getting rid of old luggage and finding new ways to build on the essence of who, and what you want to be, sets the right plans for rebuilding your future.
Thank you Bob Dylan. Always a pleasure.

Poem Artwork


I’m fixing what is possible, something must be done.

Twisting my life’s riddles, I’ve only just begun.

Poking true absurdities at all of natures will.

Repainting my life’s destiny to enhance the simple thrill.

 

Fixing contradictions, applying different rules.

Building new acquaintances, adopting polished tools.

Spinning a new balance, trade in my perspectives.

Restructure tired bonds with option bought directives.

 

Promise old exceptions, backrooms filled with dreams.

Deceptive consternation replacing silent screams.

Pack my inhibitions, escalate my climb,

analyze my freedom, and pace myself with time.

 

Augmenting my integrity and pointing a new way.

Unwrap my old beginnings, restructure how I play.

Undoing set traditions, untying knots of rope.

Refreshing dry ambitions is the ladder for my hope.

I like this poem because I will be 60 and I really don't know what happen! Did I get stupider or is this world really cruel to women?

Sounds like you've embarked on a very big adventure. It isn't easy turning one's life on its ear and being open to what might happen if we just altered one thing in our lives... if not many. ~ Sara
