Silver Lining

Combing through the carnage
Questions outnumber answers
Derailed if dwell on the details 
Will we forfeit all our advances?

Easy to get singularly focused 
On second guessing decisions 
Better to not ruminate on regrets
Since the past has no revisions 

Power in pivoting to the present 
As a new path has been charted 
Final destination still unknown
But in a better place than we started
