Hindsight's Retro
With clarity only found when looking back
All the many things that should have been seen then,
Slowly, but surely, are being seen now
Comfortable darkness was unknowingly pierced by the brightness of unexpected
light
Realizations are breathtaking
Wave after wave they flow
In unsuccessful attempts at calming the ceaseless tides of still waters
Once even and pure
Then, like clouds of a foreboding storm
Damp feelings of hurt, embarrassment, and stupidity
Clash with the whirling winds of lies, deceit, and broken trust
Shelter is needed from the shards and fragments that lay in the storms’ wake
But once the storm blows over,
The damage of what is and what isn’t remains~
Now, danger and threat have passed,
And with precision only found in retrospect,
Cleaning up begins
