Sad Wisdom of Afterthought

Collage of skies and reflections
~
Writer's Island Journals prompt #9 ~ If Only
~

If only is
The sad wisdom of afterthought
The drum-beat yearning to change a decision
Light beaming on old darkness
~
If only is
A mythical return to
An intersection
A self-inflicted longing to take
Another road
~
Reflections
Imaginings
Other worlds
~
Insight in hindsight
~
If only is
Knowing the path to happiness is questionable
Realising an apparent negative choice
Hopefully learning from experience
~

But what if...
What if there is another view...
~

If only
Could have been
The wrong decision...
What if that byway not taken
Looks inviting
In retrospect
(As an alternative)
But in fact was never meant to be
~
If only we valued
First decisions
First choices
Lived with them
And walked on
(If only we accepted
Reverse charges are
Null and void)
So many nagging sadnesses
And regrets would be
Magically
Eliminated

Mystery of mist
Veiled re-formed realities
Enigmatic shawl

Minefield of Realities

Writer's Island prompt #3 ~ Breaking Through
~

We walk in a minefield of realities
Wondering what reality is ours
~
Where the eyes meet the glories of Nature
There is the meaning of Life
~
Where dialogue meets hungry ears
There is a vision for the future
~
Where the heart meets the dawn of a new day
There will the spirit be also

Weekend Snapshot # 58

Welcome horizons
Wide blue waters and soft skies
From a mountain height
~
Just pale flecks of dust
Streets, cars, shops, banks look so small
From my mountain height
