I’M POSSIBLE

Ready for action.
I can change the world.
Opinionated and educated,
I’ve waited to make a mark.
The stark reality is that
I have been down for so long.
I will come back strong
and accomplish much.
Such are my capabilities
as I know them. I won’t
blow the opportunities.
Yes I can! I don’t know can’t!
I’m Possible!

LOST IN TRANSLATION: ALTRA LUNA by Stefano Dal Bianco

ORIGINAL POEM:

ALTRA LUNA by Stefano Dal Bianco

Ho visto la luna più chiara di sempre
alzarsi dietro il monte
e non ho fatto niente.
Non ho parlato né pensato
e qualcosa ho sentito,
ma non avrei voluto.
Ho sentito di voler combattere il sentire,
di non volere la luna per me
e di non darmi alla luna,
ma di fissare un’altra luce
radicata dalla terra al cielo e in me rinata
e generata dalla luna.

MY TRANSLATION:

ALTERNATE MOON by Walter J. Wojtanik

My vision of the moon is bright for always
as it comes above the mountains
I do not choose this.
Not with my words; not my thoughts
all my senses being equal,
but it is not how I wanted.
My senses do strongly fight my defenses,
Do not extinguish the moon for me,
it is not just this moon,
there is another light
ridicule the earth and instill in me a return
of new generations of the moon.
