Lamentations and Regrets
Copyrights Reserved© LeX Productions 2005

As the cursory breeze sifts through the trees

Stroking my face ever so gently

I ponder upon moments past

Tinged in regret and bitterness

Over what might have been


Ruing decisions gone wrong

Lamenting the unneeded consequences

Golden windows of opportunity

Closed in youthful folly and haste

One can only look back

In utter regret and sorrow


The right words remain unsaid

Words that hurt take their place

Values of wisdom and sensibility

Why did we neglect them then?

Why?


Situations past and present

We have only too often

Blinded by bias and perceptions

Thrown our senses in wild abandon

Walked on the wrong path

To the boundaries of destruction


Perhaps we could turn back the hands of time

Erase this blanket of regret and anguish

Clawing at our hearts inexorably

And fill our hearts with joy once more

Perhaps
