A Poem by jacob erin-cilberto


mistakes

 

 

in hindsight

there is foresight

of the matters

that shatter

 

the future of a

present

that will have its way

with insight displayed

as being absent

Insight is often absent when it relates to matters of the heart J. We tend to go down the same path and repeat the mistakes of the past, kidding ourselves that lessons have been learned. See it so many times. A little bit of brevity with a whole lot of meaning.

Gee
Some people never learn, especially when it comes to matters of the heart. A few more need to heed " once bitten twice shy" perhaps.
Good morning Jacob on this early Easter Sunday morning. A glorious day of sunshine yesterday so enjoyed the company of much loved friends, today, well today the sun is supposedly having a day off so it will be garden chores and shed tidying:)
Have a great day and lay of the chocolate eggs :)
