Yesterday's Regrets

written for Sal's Poet Craft: The Dorsimbra challenge

 

Yesterday's Regrets   A dripping faucet marks each passing hour As sleep eludes a body needing rest; A pensive mind grows angry, dark, and sour Regretting what it still has not confessed. I should have fixed that faucet; Procrastination only brought regret. Water droplets' drip, drip, dripping  Flipped the headache switches in my head. Each falling drop is growing louder still. Can silence chase away that wretched beat? I lie awake just wishing, hoping, BUT A dripping faucet marks each passing hour. By Sharon Miller Bolander    © 2009 Peggy Paris (All rights reserved)

Life is surrounded with so many things at once. However, one can't have all of them. The choice is limited. Choosing only the best of everything is a wise thing. Nonetheless, mistakes and failures are inevitable. They are always present in every encounter. While others turn them to be constructive, some get stuck with them. Consequently, life tends to carry the misery, the burden. It lays dormant with the passage of time.

This is a wonderful write!

UAU! Fantastic! this is beautiful !
and those drops of water carries us to so many situations we let leak away in our minds instead of fixing it as we should have done from the begining!
