Regrets

Regrets

Antagonisms perceived
Leave us aggrieved
Hearts broken
Tender spirits token

Words miss-read
Actions miss-lead
Clamors in the night
Pleading miss-sight

Sides taken
Lines shaken
Blindness bodes
Heavier loads

Rashness steps
Action’s regrets
Unthinking eyes
When misery cries

Matters adrift
Sieve and sift
Love enduring
Pardons ensuing

Antagonisms perceived
Leave us aggrieved
Hearts broken
Tender spirits token

Hi Debra, fun use of repetition and mirrored end and so true. Enjoyed this poem, too.

Relative relations, muddle low, fly with elation. You've put the soul on notice. The heart is glad for words like this. :)
