Restarbooting?

"Restart" is a strong word, indeed,

and as such, it can't be applied.

I'm not starting my life all over,

as past experiences can't be denied.

-*-

"Reboot" is another word even stronger,

implying deleting any wrongdoing.

But those fun mistakes gave me my wisdom,

and wisdom is used for experience accruing.

-*-

I'm just varying the path to follow,

switching my run to a different lane.

How can I call it when all I am doing

is taking my hiking to a novel terrain?

-*-

I'm staying connected but somehow away,

I'm cleaning my mind without forgetting.

Starting refreshed adventures and more,

Starting anew, but without regretting.

-*-

Maybe I need to create a new word,

maybe I'll call it a simple "Restartbooting".

You can't deny it, this has some rhythm,

and gives you some options that can't be refuted.

-*-

So, I am ready: let's do this new me!

Let's reboot without any deletion.

Let's walk on a different adventurous track

Let's stay deep in focus until full completion!
