Deep Thoughts

Accidental Poet

Slowly, he paces the floor

Lost in deep thoughts

Staring out the window

Contemplating things he is and not

 

Useless regrets haunt him

Past mistakes he can’t change

On every star a desperate wish

His life to rearrange

 

He searches his past

A wrong turn somewhere

Time only moves forward

Too late for repairs

 

And who could influence

Teach a boy so naïve

A little razzle dazzle

Another trick up the sleeve

 

Now a melancholy man

Lost in deep thoughts

Finding solitude

In faults that he bought

 

But the book of life

With lessons on every page

If he’s paying attention

He’ll grow into a happy age

    In our lives we make mistakes and from those mistakes we learn and that learning gives us the experience to move forward in our lives in a much better way - you cannot teach experience and experience always makes us go forward towards a good life.
