Teddy.15

 

 

 

Looking back now

 

I should have known 

 

when I saw Raven there 

 

in the middle of the road 

 

because, it was 5 am

 

and I was finally going home

 

I was the happiest I’d been for ages

 

A perfect summer's Dawn

 

with a perfect rising Sun

 

I'd never seen him there before, in the middle of the road

 

so I should have known? 

 

I should have read it as a sign?

 

and I should have turned back 

 

so now I know...

 

I cannot change what is or what has been?

 

but if I ever see him there again

 

My darling Raven, in the middle of the road  

 

I'll know, I'll know...

 

just what to do.

    Signs that we fail to recognize can in hindsight become regret but then who would know at the time. Another good read my friend

      It surely was this time my dear sorrenbarret, next time I shall turn back, or maybe even not, because I find not knowing is the worse type of regret. 🌹

      Water under the bridge. We can not change what has gone, but we can live in the present and have hopes for the future. Beautiful words dear Teddy. Hope you are well and happy. ❤️
