In this tear
Lies the dew of a past
I cannot conceal.
As it streams down my cheek
No doubt reflecting
The future
You may or may not
Ultimately
Wish to build with me.
I cry no songs of regret.
I replant no foot I've already set
But instead tread forward.
Your hand in mine.
And leave my decisions
Distant footprints
In the sands of time.
Always there
But kind of faded
As we progress.
Until all we can see
Is the grand scheme of the Sun.
And we run to horizons
Laughing...
"Our path will be warm."
At least until
Blackness falls
"Our path will be cold."
And the breeze of the moon
Leaves a chill in our bones
But yet... still provides enough glow
To keep the shadow of our doubts
At bay...
At least we know,
"Our path will always be lit."
this is an excellent poem! i am going through the phases of regret but this reminds me that the future is always bright and we must strive to make it better than the past.
