COMPLETE TEXT: "OTHER SIDE OF THE HILL" ©2020

On the other side of the hill
you spend a lot of time
looking back –

Reflecting on the past…

Wishing you knew then
what you know now,
and could change specific
things somehow.

Fix past mistakes…

Chosen words more carefully,
reconsider things you said.
Readjust your actions –
and done different things
instead.

But in the flow of time
these options are now
forever lost –
All that remains
is to tally the cost.

A change of heart
time will not allow.
It only renders who
we are…
