Guilt

sorenbarrett

To entice then dice balances justice's scale
The price of vice is the force of the gale
deluge harried muddy waters tarried, honor to bail
Bones buried now carried tell the tale
Peaks of accomplishment built now spilt majesty deform
Guilt is the silt washed down from the storm
Broken bits of grit now sits, from green mountains torn
Until rain quits and permits new growth to be born

      How very beautiful and so very true, we can't change what is done but we can try not to have it in the future. 🌹

        I suppose guilt comes to all of us, in varying degrees, it is part of being human. A very wise and reflective write my friend.

          Guilt is the silt washed down from
          the storm

          That is a superb line

          Better the guilt is on the move, rather than
          solidified. That has to be progress.

          Much enjoyed. A great read sorenbarrett.
