No Regrets

Alas this morning brought such unforeseen sorrow

Break of dawn the light before the morrow

Call of the lark as skies change from black to blue

Dusk settled after midnight as I left you

Encounters painful in the cold light of day

Forgiving the actions of the night and foolish play

Grieve not for the games of the weak of heart

Harken to the promise of the Lark

Intentions often tend to pale against the truth

Just as I tried and failed not to lie to you

Kiss of the rose with thorns to cut and bleed

Let loose the venom pulsing inside on which hate feeds

Master the night and the morning will hold no fear

Nor regrets to settle ever closer near

Offer unto the stars, the moon, the skyline too

Promises if this day could start anew

Question the cosmic design of which were drawn

Rise unto the heavens from whence new life was born

Surpass the expectations made of you

Temptation but the tears of morning dew

Undress before the mirror and reveal

Victorious the inner child now kneels

Welcome home sweet consciousness of mine

Xmas such a beautiful loving time

Yuletide brings the need for all to meet

Zealously my new beginning I rush to greet.
