Reconstructing Life
Redesigning my life is what I need to do tonight
When all creatures lay their heads down tight
I will paint a rainbow across my living room floor
And throw all my paper money-out of the door!
Just as with worries, pains and aches
I will hung them on highest tree top
Give them all an eternal grave to rest
Then bury them with my deepest passion!
I want to reconstruct my life-my way
No more pain and ache and fear
Having as much money as I please
Kick all bad wolves that come to see me!
Raise me from the death, for that's how I feel
Give me warm sun, blue sky, and starry night
Let me see life in all its glory-just once
Reach me and tell me life is worth living!
I just want to reconstruct my life
Then I can help many others too
Lift them out of horrendous blues
Shine some hopes and taste rainbow too!

It would be wonderful to be able to reset all of our mistakes. Just thinking abut doing it lifts my mood and gives me hope for the future.
ReplyDeleteOh, Icy, very lovely and very inspiring poem. yes, we all do need of reconstruction, for a better us. You definitely have shared with me shining hopes and a taste of rainbow today.
ReplyDeleteYou go for it girl! I'm right there with you in spirit. Sorry I can't be there in person.
ReplyDeleteStay strong, you can do it. I know this because you've already come this far.
We all need that hope. You have brilliantly displayed the meaning of moving on and seeing the light of a new day. Great job Icy.
ReplyDeleteI try to ignore worries because they're just thoughts, but pains and aches sure do try to take center stage. I love how you weaved nature through your poem which makes it feel hopeful.
ReplyDeleteYou play beautifully with words, you have your own way of expressing your thoughts and feelings. Love this again.
