Saved soul
Soiled from living
Sin rues

Ruing
Of the mark missed
Joy

Joyful
Burdens lifted
New lease

Wistful, 
       wondering why.
                 Weeping. 
She cried alone, 
      as she sat 
             on rugged rock,
                 ruing she ever loved.

I'll be as kind as I can be, practicing sincerity.
I'll do my best at what I'm best at doing,

by piles of rust outside your gate.
Lie in the dust of your own hate,

Tearing through flesh
Shattering bones
No organs spared

Beautiful child playing with her friends
A fearful confused young rebel
The baker trudging to work at dawn
An elder reflecting and ruing the past

No memory
Only an inevitable path

Why?

It was trivial,
and everybody knew it,

and changed the way everything behaved,
trivial had suddenly turned most important,
We were now ruing the fact,
why did we call it trivial,
and not take care of it in fact,
trivial has now turned vital,
and the vital trivial,
and our tending has turned over,
while we are turning pages,
to find why things changed the way,
they had and turned mover....
