The Moment Lost

Folder: 
Reflection

A moment of time just slips by

Ne'er to return again

The opportunity gone...ne'er to be regained

An aspiration....a dream....

The vision in the eyes...becomes an illusion

An unanswered question on the scale of worth

The inhibitions outweighed the ambitions?

The fear of failure..the fear of rejection..

The fear of performing the wrong action...

A regret in the journey of life

Should i have taken the path I had apprehensions to try?

An "ought"..a "could"..a "would"..a "might"

Added to the lexicon of strife

A battle lost without a fight...

A triumph less...a regret more...

The waves recede...the shells on the shore...

An endless wait for an opportunity more...
