Regret

Regret – regret – a dreaded thought
the solitude of soul
desired by the darkest cloud
a lonely place to grow

The fence impaled slowly – 
a gradual affect
barely noticed by the throng
unlikely to reflect

The light that glistened on the sea
the sun – it stayed to watch
the dance planned out so carefully
then – suddenly – it stopped

Regret – regret – I’ve had my share
but none that last ‘til day
the presence of forgiveness be – 
immortal in its stay.
